http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/zip/4845221113.html There is the ad. I'm reasonably certain I've seen this photo before...or read this exact posting. It's in a safe neighborhood in Philly so I don't know why I'm bothered so much by it, but it really seems too good to be true. Any other local joe guys see this before? Just really bothering me. |

Well, the ad now reads that it's "On Hold". I don't know, maybe the guy really does just want to get rid of it, and can't be bothered to try to sell them. The only real eyebrow raiser to me is -- why buy the replacement O-Rings and never use them? And based on the ad, he clearly knows how to fix a Joe. It's a weird ad, but I don't necessarily think it's a scam. |

Based on my years living in Philly: of course it's a scam, it's Philly! |
