I would flag him too, infact, i clicked on the link and I did. This is why a lot of people are wary about silver and gold coins, they dont understand the value because they get screwed by people like this selling them coins with no intrinsic value. I dont know what else to type!!!!, this makes me so upset.....so early in the morning!!!

Sorry to upset you mr18. For a second I thought it would be funny to contact him to have him meet me somewhere and then just don't show up. Some time like tomorrow morning when there is going to be a fresh foot of snow on the roads. But instead I just flagged the ad and carried on. Lately checking craigslist has just been a big old waste of time.

I think I still have my doxs on my "online identities" that I used to mess around with online years ago stashed on a CD-ROM. Should have "Amanda" wake up and ask the guy for a looksie.

My dad called to inform me there is an ad in the local paper offering 10X face for silver coins. Now that is a bit unetical I think

The process by which banks create money is so simple the mind is repelled. With something so important, a deeper mystery seems only decent." John Kenneth Galbraith 1975

Judging by the way he wrote his ad, he doesn't seem to bright. He might actually think he has valuable coins.

See the box in the upper right hand corner of the page? You can chose either spam posting, prohibited, mis-categorized, and best of craigslist. Thats how you flag it.

Thank you. By the time I clicked on the link, the post had been removed, and I was curious to see it. What a scam. He even used a blurry photo to hide the deception further.

Actually, thats a Craigslist rule. Blurry photos, from selling items to showing your ***** is the minimum.
