craigslist gone wild

[alex71]

this has got to be the most blatant one I've seen posted to date. $200 (before sale and coupons) harbor freight shop press listed for $400, with a claimed value of $1200. WOW.

20 ton hydraulic shop press with 2 arbor plates. These presses sell for over $1200. Perfect working condition used only a couple times.

Craigslist is loaded with morons who think they're sitting on gold.

I'm not sure that some sellers realize a used item it supposed to be cheaper than it would cost to go out and buy it new.

I'm also tired of the "used only once" sellers......riiiggghhhtt!

Also, the guys who buy new items from Harbor Freight and resell them on CL. If the $10 they make reselling HF stuff is worth the hassle of all the CL flakes, then maybe it's time to go back and get your GED.
