Craigslist buyer's beware.

Craigslist scam We all know there are a lot of scams out there.  Craigslist can be a minefield of potential cyber pick pockets just waiting to take your money.

This listing wasn't so ominous although it was lame.  The guy posted a Custom Shop Jackson Soloist for $500 obo.  Now my first thought was it was stolen.  Turns out Mr. Seller was just testing the market but didn't intend on selling the guitar for $500, he just wanted to see what kind of response he got.

One of the members over on the Rig Talk forum contacted him and received an email back stating that he (the seller) wanted test the market but let him know if he (potential buyer) wanted to buy it at a reasonable price.  Hell, I think $500 is reasonable.
