I'm figuring this Craigs list thing out...people figure out what is desirable, and then post a photo with an outrageous price on it...when you respond to their ad, BINGO! They have your email addy for all that lovely spam they like to send!
Yeah, I don't call these "Ads", I call them "Fishing Expeditions"...especially with those prices! EGADS!!! There is a really beat up treadle in a cabinet with the veneer literally stripping off, and they are asking $450!!!
