I think you people have way too much time on your hands. Is it not possible to live one place, but have the camper stored with relatives in another city? Is it not possible to list the camper on Craigslist at a certain figure, realize that the figure is too high, and then list it on EBAY at a more ralistic market level. (Although I'm sure none of you would have ever tried to maximize your selling price. I'm sure you'd all try to sell low.) And finally, isn't it possible that the "seller" did not pull the ad off EBAY because it was sold locally? Actually EBAY yanked the ad because it is apparently illegal to say that an AC unit could be installed for an extra few dollars. Apparently EBAY feels they wouldn't be getting their full pound of flesh. Well guess what? You all can go back to whatever else you do besides deriding other people. I'm keeping the camper. It's way too nice to give away. How about that!!

Well, if you spent more time on this website as a
contributor rather than someone who joined only to re-sell trailers for profit, maybe you'd realize that we are a community that looks out for one another 'round here. Trust is an important factor when you're trying to sell a big-ticket item across the entire USA and the potential buyer may be travelling hundreds (or even thousands) of miles after dropping a big deposit. So if something looks fishy, you can be sure that some of the members here are going to point it out.
The fact that you were selling this trailer from one location and live in another raises a BIG red flag that's pointed out in this "sticky" on scams....

Nobody said your scamming anyone, but the discrepancy between between the two locations just doesn't look right when somebody is selling such a large item. That's why I mentioned it. Couple that with the fact that you had the trailer listed in two different places (Ebay and Craigslist) with two different selling prices and no mention on your Ebay ad that you may pull the Ebay auction to sell locally. On top of that, you post the same trailer here for a whopping $5,700. Something about that also didn't seem right.
As far as keeping the camper so you don't "give it away" goes, that's pretty funny. You bought it for $2,575 and were trying to get $4,900 with your BIN price. But here on this site, you were looking to get $5,700!! If a 110% mark-up is what you call "giving it away" then the rest of us really missed out on a great deal!!!
Look, I don't Re-Bay, but if I did I would surely sit on the item and make sure it cleared my history before trying to sell it again. But personally, if I scored a deal like you got with that
Amerigo, I'd not only keep it, I'd lock it down and guard that sucker with a shotgun and a couple of hungry Pit Bulls!
