BE CAREFUL!. A car dealer in my town just got a fake money order for a RV that he had for sale in Cregs list.The money order looked real until he took it to the bank and they said it was fake. I also heard on the news this morning about a guy getting murder from Crags list. Just a friendly warning.

Craig's List is known to attract scams/scammers - be very wary.

Craigs List warns people to not trust anyone wanting to pay with money orders. Without a doubt - This is a scam.

I would rather have a money order then a check. What else is he suppose to send if not cash? If the money order isn't any good then keep the machines. If it is good then give him the machines.

No no no! Scam offers like that are all over. Don't give out any personal information, especially your address, etc. There are all sorts of weirdos out there trying to get your personal information. Don't let anyone come to your house and look at them either unless you have someone there with you. i know I sound paranoid, but there are those who will prey on women who are home alone. Be careful, ok?

You know, there is the possibility that it is all legit. However, he may want them knowing that he can sell them for a lot more.
I would email a time or two, and do like someone suggested, make sure his checks clear the bank and don't meet him at your house, and not alone.
Let us know how it turns out.
