Scam for sure. Report it to gum tree. There was a similar one when I was looking on Trading Post a while ago.

Only concrete poles in SA. Thats right isn't it.

EDIT; I think it is steel poles..

When we were trying to sell our Jayco Eagle recently we had LOTS of scam emails asking for lots of details including the VIN/chassis numbers, rego numbers, our address, making offers etc - and they were people who would refuse to contact us via phone.  In return we refused to reply to people via email or SMS.

If someone is genuinely interested, they will call and speak with you.  We then asked people to verify who they were.  If they are not prepared to provide details then they are not genuine buyers, or sellers.

Be very careful everyone!

Same camper in Melbourne.

Also did a search of his email address and he turned up on a site in Calgary selling a Dodge.

You guys are all so negative. Maybe he just had a surplus of Jayco Swan's that he wanted to clear to a few lucky people!

Another on Gumtree.  I feel iffy buying something off these sites that don't have any fees for listing.  Good place to get rid of all your "hot" goods.

Of course it may not be a scam, he may just have listed it in every state to improve his chances of ripping someone off, oops I mean selling it ;D

I didn't see the add from yesterday,  it was removed by the time I saw this thread.  I have reported it,  but it must be worthwhile for them to keep posting them up.

I got a e-mail back, here is what it says

Hello I'm Carl and first of all i want to thank you for your recent interest in my 2008 jayco outback trailer. I am the first owner from 2008, comes with all the bells and whistles, you will receive it with all papers and manuals.
  The camper is in showroom condition, Non smoking, pet and little children free; NEVER taken off road or cooked in, 3 way fridge, 4 burner gas cook top, griller, electric brakes, is in immaculate condition, traveled less than 3000 kms max used 16 nights in total.
Complete with a host of features and extras, 7 sleeping, registered till 11/2011 and comes with a clear ownership title.
  My final price is $4,800 because I want to avoid wasting time with negotiations and find a buyer before my upcoming deployment take place.


so If you are still interested please email me back so I can explain you how the transaction will work.
Here are some pictures: http://imgur.com/a/R4Tq0
Thanks



How do I do the western union thing again,,,,,,, ;D
