I look at the Craigslist farm section everyday and noticed a number of listings for nearly new compact tractors with unreasonable prices. Example--2010 John Deere 4x4 with scoop and backhoe and low hour for $2550. I know no one believes the prices. What are these sellers. if they are actual sellers looking for? They sure are not selling at this price. Usually there is no phone number or map listed. Whats the angle? Inquiring mind wants to know.

Stolen equipment comes to mind or simply a rip off. You show up with cash they show up with a bunch of friends and take your cash.

Usually a scam or as previously mentioned , stolen goods.
Hit the search by seller and see what else they have to sell.
Usually they will have a large variety of stuff for sale very cheap.
However the photos will all have different backgrounds as they lift them from evilbay or similar, very often from a different country.
Then it is a variety of scams to get you to pay many times using a supposed escrol service.

Easy to pick down here as most cars are left hand drive, supposed to be registered & running in Australia ( we have right hand drive ).
