Description
A Craigslist buyer’s guide claimed a 1952 Oldsmobile '88 sat “one county over,” but every request for the address met a fresh excuse—roadworks, flu, farm access pass. He begged for a same-day wire to stave off another bidder. After I sent it, he emailed a blurred title that misspelled the town twice. Courier tracking he supplied belonged to an unrelated parcel of shoes. The Olds never reached my driveway, and my calls now meet endless rings.
