lots of scams, I listed a 911, and had a hooker reply saying that for the same price as a regular date, I could have a happy ending, plus a lot of spam-bots, can be a real PITA. That being said, I have traded, sold & bought stuff off CL, and found some funny as heck ads (shared here before) and seen some scary ones too.
I had my contact info in one time, my e-mail box exploded with crap, scam offers, people wanting to sell my stuff for me, people wanting me to give them a car because they were down on their luck, ect. Be careful, as others have pointed out..

Like new stripper pole. Only used occasionally. Could use a good cleaning but otherwise it is in good working order. I picked it up a couple years back when my wife was .."smaller". She gained a "few pounds" and now it's probably not a good idea for her to swing on anything attached to our ceiling. Im looking to trade for a trolling motor with at least 40 lb thrust. Preferably Minn Kota. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
