Craigslist Linea scam
Just so you don't waste your time, like I did... The ad posted HERE (and it is running in various iterations across Craigslist) is a scam. The guy — who is supposedly selling a 6-month-old 3-group Linea, with Swift Grinder, for $2,000 — will talk back and forth with you with a somewhat unlikely story, and eventually send you an "invoice" from "eBay" (it's not really from eBay) requesting payment via Western Union, cash only. With a 10-day return and refund policy, of course. :-)
I told someone on here this was too good to be true. Hopefully no one else wasted significant time on this jerk.

Saw this ad running in Seattle and Portland, thought to myself either this guy is really stupid or he is expecting the buyer to be.

We thought it was legit too. Some people price their gear for short sales. We've had some real luck finding gear, and this didn't seem tooo outrageous, yet still kinda outrageous.
