I have found that there are way too many con artists on craigslist, and ebay is certainly not giving me the prices I need.
Last night I found multiple ads just in an Indianapolis craigslist search for iphone, that as I dug in deeper and started asking them buying questions they all had seperate excuses for why I couldnt use paypal or anyother secure transaction type to insure my purchase was legit. When I asked one of them about a web site so i could read up on his supposed "refund policy" he calmy replied that their web site was under construction. After that I just chuckled and asked him what other excuses he had that might work better on me. :-P
One lady tried to tell me that she couldnt use her paypal account because she was going through a divorce. I asked her if she had a phone number or address that I could meet her so i could pay in person so i could inspect the phone before i bought it. She hasnt replied back yet:( I really enjoy their attempts at responding to my emails.
So I often ask myself "what the biz!!!" when I find an iPhone advertisement for $150; then I promptly ask the seller what BS they are sellin.
