hmmmm.... same ad for Houston... http://houston.craigslist.org/ppd/3142679335.html
I don't think it's stolen. I think it might be a scam though.

I just checked CraigsList for Minneapolis and the same listing is there, with a message saying "This listing has been flagged for removal". Same guy.

This is not a stolen machine. It's a scam that runs throug CL constantly. They get people to accept a fake check for more, pay them the difference etc. This is not new and won't be the last time you see it.

​Just goes to show you that if it is too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

Found this same ad when I was looking for an 830. Even tried to contact them and did not hear back. Purchased mine from dealer. Found out it was a scam.
