  • It could be a great deal.
    But usually, if it looks like a scam and smells like a scam......

    If you continue, the first thing I would ask is, where can you see the RV.
    It's probably being stored in a CL Warehouse....;)

    Yet what if it was a tourist who bought the RV, traveled around the US for a few months, and now needs to sell the RV quick, and get a ride to the airport to go back home?

    It might be worth looking into it. . Just do not send a deposit over the internet. .

    Tell them to meet you at your local bank branch!

    Not a bank branch. A police station. With the ubiquitous usage of sites like CL, my local PD actually encourages it on their website.

  • Looks like a scam. A search found the Class C was originally sold on EBAY back in Aug 08, 2014 for $13,975 here at 2000 Fleetwood Tioga 22 C. Another website www.racing-vehicles.com has the original EBAY listing with all photos.
