Most of you remember the wild goose chase we went on a few years ago to Winchester TN to trade for a car we had found on Craigslist, how bad the car was when we got there and how the guy had lied about it. Well, Facebook marketplace is starting to get some of the same flakes. I found a supposed rebuilt AOD trans on Marketplace for $600, looked good in the pic, messaged the guy on Wed, he answered back, we set up today for me to call him and get directions, he is over in Columbus MS, about 65 miles away. He sent me a phone number this morning, and a time to call, and then, nothing, like he fell off the face of the earth. We started out from home about 3PM, stopped and tried to call about 3:45, no answer. Stopped again at the state line at 4:00, again, no answer, left a voice mail. Rode on into town with the idea of eating there, but they are still on tighter lockdown then AL, so it looked like takeout only, no thanks. Called him one last time at 4:30 PM, still no answer. We left and started back home, stopped in Fayette AL and eat at my favorite Mex place, then went and bough groceries. Got home and checked Facebook messages, nothing. Screw him. I'l just pay the $300 more and get mine rebuilt then I'll know for sure what I have. Screw Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist both. Both have been invaded by scammers, liars, and con artists.
