-does not come with all this "free softwarew and games" which are ALL pirated...

-is not DRASTICALLY DRASTICALLY DRASTICALLY overpriced for the hardware and people lying about it saying things like an nvidia GT520 can play crysis 3 on max settings...

SCAM

Craigslist is ONLY for face to face CASH transactions. Period. Any time you cannot meet the seller in person, check the item and pay in cash, you are being scammed

Cargo Force is a Miami cargo company shipping large shipping containers to the Caribbean and South America. They DO NOT ship iPads or personal items

Besides, it's illegal for a seller to list anything that is not located in the area where they posted on Craigslist. He is not allowed to post anything unless he has it in hand in that local area

Report the ad ASAP to Craigslist to get it removed

Read Craigslist's scam warning page - it can't be any clearer

Not everything on Craigslist is a scam, but it is Always and everywhere "Buyer beware", which usually means if it sounds to good to be true it usually is. On something like this always do your research and check it out and do a search for what it is you are looking for.

I have bought and sold may things on Craigslist and you just need to be careful.

Beware. I've been trying to sell items on CL for a couple months now and all I get are thieves trying to get me to wire them money. They fake a Paypal e-mail as payment to cover "shipping costs".
