Question
Hi Jay,
   Please allowed me to ask one question. I found one good car on crailists but  the deal is to make on eBay. They used to say that they are in the army or LT. etc.
   I would like to know how trustworthy this kind of person is and is this sage to do this.Are there cheaters out there in Craiglists.
   Thanks. Hope to hear from you soon.

Well I am nobody to challenge somebodies integrity over an ad on craigslist/ebay, you just have to understand a couple simple things.  They are selling their product for one reason, to make money, and they are going to do what is in their best interest to make the most, and secure the deal the best.  There are cheaters on craigslist, and there are deals that are so absurd,that waste space on craigslist waiting for that one person to fall for it.  Especially in these economic times we are going through, people are desperate to do what it takes to get what they need.  Trust no one, and watch your every digital move online, because you never can tell now a day what is real and what is fake.  But the one thing good about Craigslist, it is always changing, keep checking, something will come along.
