Anyone notice anything 'off' about these ads?

ETA:
These ads are all different now from when I initially posted them. The ones posted there look to be legit (for the moment)

Freedomnchrist · 08-26-2008, 05:40 PM

Um...besides the fact that they are all way under priced and they are pictures of the same trailer.

Scammers!!!!!

Oh, where can I fine me a trailer with a price like that?????

Soliae · 08-27-2008, 08:08 AM

I just ran into a Craigslist scam very similar to this. The trailer was listed on Nashville's craigslist.

They had a nice, virtually brand new aluminum two horse with dressing room. Said they were being deployed, must sell. $2400.

When I emailed them, they sent back a message saying the trailer was in some far off state, the price included shipping to where-ever I was, and that I had to pay through some online site that I'd never heard of before (not Paypal or anything well known).

Big red flags, there...obviously, I didn't go any further with it.

These ads are all scams. The sundowner trailer is one that I had posted about earlier being a scam and it was removed from alot of sites.
I wouldn't look on that site again for a trailer since they are all scams.

Boy those trailers sure do get around to be for sale in 3 different states at the same time. I will say though(having been in the Service) it is possible that the Servicemember got a deal on delivery anywhere in the U.S. and then decided to offer the trailer for sale in several different states to increase his/her chances of a quick sale. Servicemembers sometimes get good deals and sometimes have to do seemingly crazy things to make things work out. I know a Marine who is trying to sell his home right now for about 75-100,000 below it's value because he has only a couple of weeks until he is being moved from GA to PA. Obviously everyone thinks there is some drastic problem with the house because it's so low priced, when he's truly just trying to pay off the mortgage so he doesn't have to pay two mortgages when he gets to his new duty station.

That is one thing I cannot stand...SCAMMERS!!! If they are going to do something like that, they should at least make it a little less obvious

But, I am not a scammer so, I dont know what sale tactics they use.

LOL my friend bought a used 4 horse live in trailer for 80k..if she only knew she could pick one up for 5 LOL :] oh and its nice to know the 2007 and 2008 trailers look IDENTICAL!

GreyDot · 08-29-2008, 08:58 AM

Could they be reposessed trailers? If not, then it definitely looks like a scam...

well do google searches on the phone numbers listed there and they come up to a horse pro in Ca, with saddle shops and extensive horse exp.

He may just have run a horse transport business, or horse-farm transport and be selling off all the trailers. pretty low prices but better to sell off unused trailers than let them fall to be junk.

may be some good deals there..worth a call or 2

The ads listed there now are not the same. I am going to request this thread be closed, because it doesn't make any sense, now.
