What's the board etiquette about passing along a Craigslist post for stuff folks might find interesting?

I just saw a woodgrain box listing, and thought people here might be interested...

I think that would be very interesting and would like to see the ad... no etiquette concerns with me (buyer beware being implied and all that :))


I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Simply PM those to me.  I'm sure the others here don't want to see it.   :D  :lol:

Odd set of pictures, though, unless they're selling both sets.


Let mirth prevail!

Curious pictures, two different sets of booklets.  If anyone checks them out, let us know what you find!

I'm wondering if they're being lazy and using "stock" pictures that they grabbed from somewhere.

I'm curious now, so I'll email them and see if they have any actual pictures.

Hi Guys.  I was able to get the guy listing this to reply to me by text.  He said he was busy until this afternoon.  When I asked about why the pictures of the books in the second photo are different from the books with the box set, the guy went silent.  I would be very wary of this sale.  I think it could be a scam.  The best way to do the deal would be to meet this guy locally in person and actually handle what you are receiving.  Just my 2 cents.

And the posting is down.  Either he's going to post more pics, or he got scared off by all the inquiries.

Yeah, I never got a response to my inquiries.

Sorry about that, folks!
