Is it just me or does everyone else have 95% scammers trying to "purchase' their products? Sigh. I even had one try to buy my car...
Craigslist.

my wife has started doing daycare and advertises on craigslist. she had scammers contact her about daycare. they always say they will pay a month in advance and they are coming form another state/country and wants her to send the left over amount back to them.
Yeah, I had somebody "local" try to buy my car sight unseen, because they were too busy moving to look at it. Riiiggghhhtt. I don't quite understand how that scheme would work, but whatever...
What's wrong with ebay now?
This guy on CL offered me $1000 more then I had my car for, with out seeing it... said don't worry about shipping right now. He said he was in Africa for a business trip ect and was going to write me a check. lol.
Another guy wanted to buy something I had for sale and of course he sent me the fake paypal receipt that said as soon as I sent it out w/ a tracking number the funds would be moved to my account. Man I hope people aren't falling for this shit.

He is right it is sad but as long as 1 out of 50 do fall for it then they are still in business of tring to rip the rest of us off.
Yeah it has its down sides but I remember selling a bike with in 30 minutes of posting it for sale... so it has its uses.
Craigs seems fine here. 
I love craigslist with the exception that for a lot of small stuff, people reply to my ads, but never come to pick shit up. Kinda annoying, but its stuff that would otherwise just get thrown out, so whatever.
