Damn, I can't edit - can someone clarify that in the first post that it's a scam?

*edit* Reported it just to be sure a mod sees this.
 
I spoke with the guy on the phone, reported the ad on FB. If the ad belongs to a member, speak up.

Contact the fella in the ad, he'll ask for a "deposit" just to come and see it. I couldn't find the photos on the web, but when I asked him for a facetime video of the unit he deleted our chat.
 
It seems pretty clear these guys can make a living off this. I guess they list 100 items they don't own and collect a few deposits per day. It didn't use to be like this, things are changing.
