So I'm just wondering if I'm the confused one here I put a $4000 pool table on craigslist last night trade for an atv or atc so this guy emails me that hes got a 250r all decked out he wants an even swap I'm game so this morning I get an email from the guy that he sold the R to his boy for $750 cash in hand so now he wants me to give him $500 and they will give me a 93 yamaha GIZZLY 200 rolling chaise with no tires and tried to tell me that the chaise was worth $3000. Hell of a deal if you ask me (can you here me laughing at this guy yet) just wanted to see if any one else has had issues like this on the old craiglist.

I'd have told him "I guess you didn't want the pool table very much" and hung up the phone..

I wonder what this 93 Grizzly 200 roller really is? There was no Grizzly back then, and the only 200 was the Blaster lol.

I would say "I sold the table but I'll trade you the balls I have left"

This guy just told me he has ridden his whole life and sold a 250r for 750 he used some discriptive words to describe what he thought I was.

Did you ever see pics of the 250R? Maybe he was blowin smoke all along..

Yes it's common on CL to get these types of people. Everyone who put up a remark has been bs'ed or jerked around by the same types of people.

Good luck with the trade.

I hate cragislist, but unfortunately it seems like it's the only local place to sell things by. I did happen to have one legitimate guy (a member here) come out to check out some stuff, which was a nice change from the usual scammers and spammers :)

As a buyer /seller of trikes on a regular basis you can imagine the kind of stories like this I have . Worst than the sellers pulling this type of BS is other buyers calling after you have all but closed a good deal on a trike and offering a more money to sell to them instead .The real heart breaker in these cases is seeing the bike being parted out the next week on ebay .I think there are bikes out there that are part out type bikes but to see complete ride ready trikes being torn down because there is better money in it that way kills me :(

Karl if you can cash out on that pool table let me know what your budget is I will round you up a trike no problem
