Comes with attachments, and 2 hose sections, reaching a handy 18' long. Also has a blower port too so it can suck or blow. Good wheels, works good. Please e-mail with phone # and I will call in order received, thanks.
UPDATE, just used it today, (5-19-09), to blow clear our clogged bathtub drain, took about 15 seconds tops, I prob. should keep it.

Must be a scam.

Hate to say I told you so...I think I am going to go out and drive the 2006 Rhino I just bought off C.L...only 200 miles on it and the fool was only asking $2300!
Wow.The guy moved from Kansas to Vermont...overnite!

Does Craig's list reveal real emails when you reply or are they anonymous both ways?
Only thing I can think is they're harvesting email addresses, perhaps phone numbers / real addresses?

:jawdrop::jawdrop: You've gotta be :censored:'n me!?!?
Yes , I am.It is a famous ad that has run for years on Craig's.People keep posting "I am trying to get a hold of you regarding the Rhino" ads.The ad usually shows a mint Rhino, complete with about $5k of extras.Don't be a sap; if it sounds way too good too be true, it is.

If he places the ad, your response to the ad is anonymous (if you have that box checked properly in the settings). His reply to you shows his actual email. I 'think' your reply to that one also shows your actual email.
so the scammer has to get you talking to get the address if he placed the ad.
But, if you place the ad, the scammer just needs to get you to 'reply' to his inquiry to get your address. Usually, his inquiry is 'I want it for sure, send me more info.'
What I don't get is that how can email addresses be valuable enough to go through all this hassle? Maybe if they harvest 100 or more from one ad, and if all the inquiry is automated or something. Or more likely, eventually they get a few phone or CC or bank info numbers....
The John Deere tractor loader package is all over CL. My brother was corresponding (pulling chains to put it more accurately) with 3 of them at same time, all the same pictures, and located all over the country. Always far from home and far from where the seller is at this moment, but no worries, shipping is included at that price.

Well, the multiple listings, with similar text and photos, do support the scam scenario.
But I have also seen people give away many items of value in free ads, so I guess there always is some cost/value/benefit calculations that need to be made each time.

People don't normally steal saws to give them away. i have gotten a lot of great deals and give aways on craigslist. It's pretty easy to spot the scammers

Here's a good one...think i might e-mail him offering even more for them. lol
Hello this is a long shot I'm sure but worth trying I suppose, I have three big old trees in my yard at leat 50-60 years old maybe even older. The trees are in healthy condition and you would get alot of wood out of them, I believe they are oak trees. I've heard of someone selling their trees before so that's why i'm trying to do this really, This will be 600 per tree if you buy all three I'll let them go for $1500! If you heat you house with wood, own a sawmill, or just would like to use your chainsaw. Give me a call at 513-899-9999 Thanks!

Anyone have a Chainsaw I could borrow? (NE PDX)
I've got a slight problem. A tree fell down in my backyard, and I need to chop it up into fire wood. Does anyone have a chainsaw I could borrow for a day? I could bring you a boat load of thank yous, & a special treat when I drop it off again. Let me know. Thanks!

"Special treat" ?? That makes me a tad nervous, especially cause it's "Nate"
