First let me say, I am so glad you have this website, I would have been totally scammed. I put my saddle on Craigslist and I received this email.

Hi,
My assistant told me your item is still for sale on list, I will add $50 to the purchase price for you so that you can hold it for me as i am on a business trip and wouldn't want to lose it to someone else. Please provide your full name, address and your phone number so that I can send your payment. I will be paying you by a Money Order... It will take 6 -7 days for the payment to get to you and as for delivery I will make arrangements for the pick-up after you have received payment. Kindly get back to me, as soon as possible, with your name, phone # and mailing address where payment will be sent.
Note: As soon as you have your money in hand, we can talk about the picking up of the item. I would like you to take the posting off from craiglist today.
Best Regards
I emailed him back & told them I would removed the listing and hold it for them pending payment. However I had a red flag go up, who would buy this saddle sight unseen? So I put in his email address & lo and behold I found this site.
I emailed him back & told him the transaction was cancelled & any payment mailed will be refused.
Thank you so much for educating my ignorance. Many Many Thanks, Beamer1
