this has been posted for more than 2 days!! I emailed and got no response, maybe he needs a local email so he doesn't think its a scam.

I never even open mail from out of my area when I advertise on craigslist. The craigslist people state flat out ALL "offers" not from near you are scams, all requests to ship are scams, and 99% of them - are scams.

You need to have a buddy go get it and ship it to you for craigs. If they wanted to ship it they'd have used evilBay. So be sure to act sheepish when asking a craigslister to ship. And be sure to NOT offer to send a money order.

I have never been scammed yet...KNOCK ON WOOD!! I email and call, speak directly with them and have had good luck. I always give my name and number so they may call if they choose to "test the waters". Seems to work pretty good so far. On the ones that do respond, about 50% success, not bad considering the "never ship" stated by Craigslist.

Free chainsaw (Holly Springs NC)

Free chainsaw. Craftsman w/ 18" bar. Ran good the last time I used it, but that was a few years ago. Do not respond. Check address and pick it up. It is by the mailbox. First there gets it. If it is not at the mailbox, then someone else got it. Thx.

Gotta love these people and their either! Yeah I did not look hard at the pictures just thought it was a nice saw to feed the CAD!

The starting fluid I have here says it has "top cylinder lubrication" in it (not that I'd count on it too much). A little oil would be a good thing in all starting fluids as I'm sure it would make it harder to use it to make meth.
