These "gypsies" advertise heavily on Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio craigslist as 'dealers' promising 'new' high-end mattresses, such as Perfect Sleeper, Sealy, etc. They say they got them from fancy stores that rejected the mattress because of a slight cosmetic flaw. But the mattresses are old, worn, saggy and dirty. Don't be fooled by the plastic wrap. The plastic is only there so you can't see the mattress.
If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Don't think you can buy a $1,000 or $2,000 or $3,000 'new' mattress for $400.
My understanding is it is illegal for a 'dealer' to sell used mattresses. The police should catch and prosecute these scammers.
