    I'm fairly new and stumbled upon this thread. I've got a couple stories along the same lines, I have 3 four cylinder dirt racecars out back that I listed on craigslist for $500 each. They were built around 10 years ago but never raced in competition, the motors are loose but don't currently run. Anyways, I had all kinds of emails on them & this one clown asked me all kinds of questions and I gladly answered them. Then he asked if he could send me the rule book for his local track for me to look over & see if he could even race these cars at his local track, I said "no, if you want the car you come and look at it in person" & then he asked if I would get it running for him & I said "no, I will not poor money into the car & get it running just to have you back out on the deal" & then he asked if I would deliver it 300 miles away for $600 including the price of the car. After that I never responded to him and just pulled the ads off craigslist. I don't know if the people that were emailing me are just that ignorant or have nothing better to do than waste other peoples time. I mean I was only asking $500 per car, I can part them out for more than that but I thought if there's some kid out there that wants to get into racing I'll sell the car cheap and help them out.



    I had some clown see one of my cars on racingjunk.com and he's been pestering me about the car for two weeks, we finally agreed on a price last week and he said he would be here today at 7pm to pickup the car. It is currently 9:45 PM and he has not shown up yet or answered his phone..............I swear, some people just need to grow up for christ sake.

    Diesel, now that he knows where you live, and has made it it clear that he's completely dishonest, I'd suggest locking the gates when you leave, if he knows when you'll be away( possibly even if he doesn't)
