Craigslist is a snakepit of thieves, scammers and killers. I wouldnt buy OR sell anything on there. I tried selling on there and nothing but weird phone calls. Weird scammer requests/questions. I tell them to meet me at my city police station to do a deal and don't hear from them again.
I agree that there are a lot of weird scum sucking scammers on CL, but I sold my Duster on there this summer for full price within 24 hours. Just popped a quick ad up there and bingo, the line started ringing. I sold a bunch of tools and some Mopar stuff on CL this year. Didn't have too much trouble with the sales. Some scammers replied but it was pretty easy to delete their trash and move on to the real replies.
