Wow! What a great Craigslist Bargain week for me!!! Please don't hate me any more than you do now.

Early in the week I responded to a Craigslist add for a 24" Alu iMac 2.66 cut and paste specs pictured on a nice Home office desk listed for $400

The locations was an hour away so I was a bit unsure and the photo looked more like a 20" Alu.

I always make a VERY ernest effort to make sure anything I buy is not stolen.

I agreed I would buy it and drove down before anyone else could snag it, knowing that evan at $400 it would be a steal for a 20". It was a 20", in great shape with Box for $400!!! Yea--I know he 20" Alu has the marginal screen....but for $400!!!!

Then a couple days ago and iPhone was listed for $110. No Model or any other info. I first thought scam, but emailed anyway.
I just picked up a 16GB original iPhone with a perfect screen but some noticeable scratching on the Back side. It would have been a great deal for an 8GB and a smoking deal for a 16GB. Works perfect.

I guess my Mac karma was pretty good, but I have probably used it all up.

Please don't hate me!!!!

You're asking a lot. ;-)

Agreed. You should share with me either item or lose your good Mac karma.

What steps, pray tell, do/did you take to ensure those were not stolen?
I would like to do the same with local CLers here, too.

I've got dibs on your stuff for the next Monday Free Stuff Giveaway.

Thanks in advance!

I'd be interested in the details as well. How does one come to be selling a relatively recent purchase at such a fraction of what they paid?

I hate you only slightly less than before, but that was a lot!
