Her response to our request for info
Hello,
This is a 2002 Coleman Bayside, with clear title. The overall condition of the camper is excellent no need any additional repairs. Flawless exteriorinterior condition, no scratches and no dents . The interior is also in perfect shape. This camper has been very well maintained and never smoke inside. You will not have any problems with registration, the price of the camper is $2500.
The camper is in Houston, TX in case it gets sold I will take care of shipping. I can't conclude this transaction personally because my work involves a lot of traveling, shipping cost is included in price.
So if you are interested i will give you further details how we can conclude this transaction safe and secure for both of us.
Here you have more pics: http://claspics.com/vayo0xu/h66rb2cu i hope you will like it.

P.S. Please do not reply if you don't have the money or If you need a loan.
Thank you,
Have a nice day!

My response:
Hi,
Interesting that it's listed in Manhattan craigslist but camper is in tx. wish it was closer to my friends, I'd have them go look at it.

can you tell me if you are the owner of the campers?
Also what kind of guarantee is there that it is everything you said?
It does look clean, and in very good condition. Just not used to buying something used that we cannot see or smell.

What other details can you furnish? is there any video of the units? the bayside in particular?
what are the details of the purchase as well?
Thank you, Jeanette

Also then sent:
Hi again Jacqueline,
I sent photo images of both to my husband. We are Definitely interested in a possible purchase of the Bayside. He agrees that it does look like it's in a nice condition. It's what we've been looking for. We are prepared to pay outright. No loan needed.

Being that we cannot see it in person prior to purchase, we'd like additional photos of the underside of the beds, the tires, close up of the canvas by the bump out corners the ceiling where the air conditioner is, or video if possible showing closer detail.

Also, who can we contact to personally speak about the camper? You or another party?
My home number is xxxx or cell is xxxx.
Thank you,
jeanette rotolo

Her response:
Like I've told you, the delivery process is payed by me and I want to finish this deal through Google Checkout because they are a biggest company and we can both be protected and insured.
You will receive the camper in max 2-3 days and you will get the chance to inspect it 5 days , test drive it and everything you like. The camper will be delivered directly to your requested address as soon as I will have the payment confirmation from Google Checkout . Google Checkout will hold the money until you will receive , inspect and decide if you want to keep the camper .If you will find the smallest problem with the camper you will ship it back on my expense .
If you're interested to purchase just email me with your full name ,shipping address and your phone number , so I can notify Google Checkout that you are selected as my buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.
I await your email with the requested details so we can move forward.

(mind you, she never told me that in any email)
My response:
Ok, I didn't understand that. No mention of Google checkout was made in the prior email.
I've never used that service and I am not familiar with it.
I will speak to my husband and email you back.

At what point would the title come for the camper, along with it or after the 5 days?

I'm just trying to understand the process.
Thank you,

Her response:
Along with the camper you will receive all the documents including the title,keys,owner's manual and a bill of sale signed to a legal attorney.
You have 5 working days to inspect/verify the camper. If the camper is not like i have described it you ship the car back on my expence, but you have my guarantee that you will be 100% satisfied.

*********
We decided to continue with the possible purchase being that we may not have anything to lose. But still didn't sit well completely. Something not right. No contact info given or ability to speak personally, as most other sellers on Craigslist who are legit will.

Rec'd email from her after sending her name, ph, and shipping add.

NOW SHE'S BECOMING PUSHY. Something def not sitting right. So I googled name and too many people came up. I googled email add and came to this site to see in the past 2 days (today and yesterday) she has done this with ad's for both a car and a boat. She's also got the 2 coleman pop ups on craigslist. Yes the deal is too good to be true and she's obviously running a scam. Will be filing with any entity I can on this one.
