Saw this listed and turns out it's on a London Craigslist Ad.. didn't even know craigslist was in London.. and not sure how far this is from you.. but looks to be a good deal on a Vendo 81b ?

Wow that is nice and a pretty good price considering its already in the UK and you don't have to ship it. Its about $1,400 USD give or take. In fact thats even cheap even if it were in the USA. I bet you could get it even cheaper if you have cash in hand. You could do some detail and could even make money. Be cautious in case its a scam!

Looks like a good deal! I have not run into many scams looking for machines but when I was trying to buy a small pick-up truck for my son--Holy Moley! I used to love the messages--I had to move to Houston so the truck is no longer in Michigan but we will ship it to you in a container so you can inspect it at no cost to you and you can pay for it through this secure system . . . . .
As Kid Rock says in the song "Wasting Time"--I was born at night but not last night baby!

I would agree that it is infact a scam.
What the reply will be will go something like this:
"I am selling the machine for a friend of mine,.... I am in Italy for work, and will be for a while. Send me your address, and I will ship the item... once I give you the shipping number, you can track it, and then Western Union the money to me..... BLAH BLAH BLAH
I ALMOST fell for a deal VERY similar to this last year, a 81 selling out of Alberta, for 1500.00
The guy gave me his name, and at the 11th hour to me sending him the cash, I thought I would Google his name,.... sure enough, that name popped up on scams after scams.
He even sent me a link to "Wal-Mart shipping" (never heard of wal-mart in the shipping business) where the site was just a cut n paste single link that he created to look real... but when u keyed in the tracking number, it said in transit.... keyed in another number that I made up.......... It was in transit... WHATEVER number i keyed in........ IN TRANSIT! lol
Well, I kept this guy strung along.. telling him I sent the $$$ gave HIM a bad Western Union number... really milked it.... then when I knew he knew that I knew.. I gave him a 3rd arse hole... and I never heard from him again
SO, based on that, this ad looks WAY too similar to the one I replied to.
Let us know though

It was definately a scam. Never actually heard anything back.
In my e-mail I mentioned living near London and wanting to view That must have been enough to put the person off.
