Since it comes with an electric outlet, does it come with the wall?

That's a good one too, and the one I overlooked. The one I saw was
that there was no way to contact the seller. (maybe the seller will
revise this ad)

Personally I would be glad to get an electric outlet with a welder I
bought rather than try to get the proper one at Home Despot or
equivilent.

It looks like Craigslist was sharp enough to catch the omission in the
welder ad.

At least the person wasn't foolish enough to include his e-mail
address.
Several weeks ago I advertised a valve grinder for sale and within 2
days I received 3 e-mails saying something like: I will buy your
device and I'll send a money order and/or a cashier's check and my
representative will be by shortly to pick up the device.
I did not bite on these and I won't include my e-mail address with
anymore ads.

Actually, Craig's List automatically provides you with a direct link
to the seller, and hopefully when contacted will provide you with both
his/her email address and telephone number.

I've been using Craig's List for local sale of things that I don't
want to ship, like a Ford Bronco and 10 ranks of pipe organ pipes and
have no complaints. I find it a wonderful resources, for buyers and
sellers that eventually come face to face.

Still, the seller for major items are frequently contact by out of the
area scammers, who often emulate the "African Scam" if you are
familiar with it. Any legitimate seller that I know of on Craig's List
will require you to examine the merchandise before buying it, unlike
auction sites like eBay (which I also sell on).

Unfortunately Craig's List is getting a bad name here in this area,
because it has been a haven for 'hookers' and prostitues to post on
the 'personals' pages, which if I was managing Craig's List, I'l
eliminate these categories.

For Craig's List buyers, it is a much safer bet than buying on eBay,
since you generally examine the merchandise for sale in person before
buying. That's it's strong point.

Most buyer would take a close look at that $800 welder that this guy
is selling, and determine for themselves if is worth the money and by
seeing it in operation first hand.

Read the actual ad again and you will see for yourself. There is no

I am happy for you, but in this specific instance, the dumb seller
left no way to contact him or her.

Hey,
That is also someone selling their private goods ;-) yet more evidence that
craigslist is a wonderful resource, for buyers and sellers that eventually
come face to face.

But not a link for you to contact the seller. The link is to remind

Perhaps they cancel each other out. Maybe he figured with the price that
high no one would want to contact him about it, so no contact info needed
:-)

I bought a huge 890lb Miller AC/DC/High Frequency Stick/TIG with 350A water
cooled TIG torch and water cooler for $800.

I take it you haven't actually pressed the button.

I quote:

We have sent the ad's poster an email, notifying them that they don't have
any contact info listed.

Please check back in a while to see if they've updated their ad!
