Kevin Hunter Used Craigslist to Scam Me. Don't EVER Wire Money - Learn From My Stupidity. Cincinnati Ohio
I used Craigslist to look for a Wii for my children for Christmas. "Kevin" said he works directly with the manufacturers and offers a 60 day return policy and 1 year warranty. He also offered free overnight shipping. He uses picturetrail.com to show his "products," anything from cell phones to computers to video games. I studpidly used Western Union to wire him money, and I haven't heard from him since, and he's not responding to any e-mails, calls, or texts. I'm in the process of filing reports on him. I am normally an intelligent person. I was just trying to affordably give my kids a good Christmas. Please learn from my stupidity!!

Craigslist is terrible

Craigslist is terrible nowadays. Once Ebay started screwing sellers - and buyers - almost everyone left. Craigslist then exploded. Now if you search for anything it's 5:1 resellers over actual items. Makes me sick - they've ruined a great website. Plus the fact that in the case of reselling Wii's they ask at least 120% the retail value like people are stupid. You can walk into just about any store now and they have Wii's available for $250.
