Wow dude. These guys tried to get me to! I was looking all over for these motorhomes and I seen a great deal in washington, 2800 for an 89 dolphin in great shape. (I have friends there, and was entertaining the idea of a train ride up/friends/motorhome back down) so I contacted the guy and he gave me the same sales pitch. EBAY this and inspect for 3 days and return that. He also said he's in the military and shipping out overseas and he didnt want the camper to go to crap in his backyard. In the e-mail he sent, it said the camper was in Tampa Flordia (craigslist said seattle area) I was like wait a minute, I know I got crazy that night on craigslist (new city, RV, toyota, repeat) but I know I never got to flordia. So I called him out on it, and I said "I'm really interested in the R.V. give me a call at...."
His next e-mail "I'm in the military and I do special training type stuff everyday blah blah blah and I can't get to a phone."
At that point I was like YEA RIGHT, SCAMMER. SEE YA! And I never wrote him back...
What a piece of crap though, trying to use a patriotic aspect to get your scam rollin. Lame stuff.
