This ad was on Craig's list Norfolk, VA. (Hampton Roads area) posted on October 24. Now pulled off the site? I believe this to be a scam waiting to happen.
It is the same info I found reported on Rip Off:

Hi I'm Brian, The jet ski's are still for sale. Both are in perfect shape. It has no scratches, dents and it was never involved in an accident or something like that. Here are some more pics: http://picasaweb. Google.com/McDanielBrian78/Two2007YamahaJetSkiWaverunners#. The title is clear and on my name. I am forced by a bank loan to sell them so I need the money and I must do that. Don't worry, the loan does not involve the jet ski's. My final price is $5,100 for both. I already have tons of emails so I hope you understand that I need to sort them out. I will take in consideration only those buyers who are really interested in buying the jet ski's, to be sure that I don't waste my time with endless discussions. This way, I shall be assured of the serious intentions. Thank you. P.S. If you are decided to buy it, i will make a private auction just for you on eBay so you can purchase it there. That way you will receive assistance for the purchase, paperwork, title transfer and an extended warranty. They also are guaranteeing purchases up to 10.000 so we will both be protected. %
This is a scam and matches the same info as rip off by Thomas and Laura Twine above.
