Scam?

I responded to a Craigslist ad for a Scamp.  It was not ridiculously underpriced like many of the obvious scams. The seller told me the camper was with "Colorado Shippers" and they would contact me about purchasing. I received an email from Colorado Shippers with pics and a title. The CL ad was for an east coast location. This seems highly suspicious. Thoughts?

It doesn't sound good to me at all--a pic of the title?  Unfortunately, it usually isn't easy to buy a Scamp.  Best to buy directly from the seller or a reputable RV dealership.  Ha ha ha, bragging about the driving distance to get one and/or hoops to jump through paying for it end up being one of our favorite Scamp topics!  We met a couple camping this year on their first trip with their new-to-them Scamp.  They were super proud of their 16 footer, and we both shared stories of the lengths we went to obtaining our "scores"!  The flip side of this is how easily they can be sold if you decide to sell.

I would also pass

i would also pass just like Rhonda said. we listed our scamp when it was for sale(couple of years ago) on Craigs list and we got the other end of the scam deal . i thought we'd never get rid of this one gal. bottom line. there are scammers out there on each side of buying and selling. i know when we get ready to sell our Casita we will for sure just avoid Craigslist altogether
