I'll never quite understand the people who use Craigslist. I've made quite a bit of money by purchasing then reselling things, but sometimes when I'm cruising the different categories I stumble on something that I have to think, wtf mate?

Today I stumbled on this...

What is this guy thinking, especially for $125?

Some people really believe they can get that kind of cash for garbage.

You might be surprised what you can get for garbage. Would you have believed, 15 years ago, that bottled water would sell for $2+/liter?

Not worth anything in my opinion, except for parts maybe.
What do these usually go for new.....??

Consider the fact that it could be a joke.

I like (not love) Craigslist. I've spent about $10,000 there in the last 3 years (bought a car, pressure washer, Macbook, etc.). So far, so good except for the scammers.

No, I've actually seen it twice now. You are free to email the dude. It's not me.
