My brother bought a cummins to replace the old motor in his truck, and so we loaded up in my truck, went and looked at it, haggled and closed the deal. We then were loading up the motor, and as soon as the tailgate on my truck was closed, he was gone. Hopped on his bike and took off. We hadn't even gotten back in the truck.
This doesn't necessarily sound strange in and of itself, but the fact that he left the garage door open, the lights on, tools out and on the floor, and the engine crane on the driveway slab.
We didn't have a clue what was going on, so we left, and then as we were talking about it, realized the guy may have not actually been the owner. Long story short, did some checking with local authorities, and posted on CL to see if anyone had a cummins stolen out of their garage.
No one ever came forward, but I'm still not convinced the guy was the actual owner. On the up side, the motor runs well.

Had a motorcycle up for sale, and got offered "special consideration" if I would accept the lowball offer of $1k less than I was asking...
I'm happily married, and not really into random hook ups, so that was a no.

Sold some stuff and got counterfeit bills for it. Went to the bank and got to explain why I was "trying to pass bills". Luckily, I've had the same savings account since I was 5, and quite a bit of the staff knows me, and it didn't go anywhere beyond being out $400 and giving a statement to the "authoritahs"...

Tried to buy a bass guitar from a guy, sent an email asking when we could meet up. I wasn't even going to haggle.
No response. Tried to get in touch with him for 3 days.
Saw he relisted the bass at a lower price, still no response. No phone number, no nothing.
Posted a wanted ad, looking for that specific model of bass, and guess what? Jack hole contacts me saying he has it for sale. Gave me the original price, so I sent an email back saying "thanks, but no thanks", went and found a different bass with someone who actually wanted my money.

Craigslist is a crap shoot. I've gotten some screaming deals on CL, but you have to be willing to weed through the 'tards.
