RE: Craigslist - someone in NJ has replicated my ebay ad

There have been a number of these cropping up on NY CL for the past few months, always as for vintage speakers, always at very reasonable, even low, prices. Often it's evident that part of the text of the ad has been dropped, probably by somebody reposting quickly. I think some of them are reposts of other people's CL ads from across the country. When I responded to one of the ads early on, I got a response that was basically, "this item is sold but log on to the following website" (whatever it was) "and see all my other items for sale". Needless to say, I didn't.

I don't know why some spammer decided that fake vintage speaker ads were the best way to reach his target audience, but there you have it.
