Hi all.
With many of us keeping our eyes open for vintage finds and bargains, I can't be the only one who regularly peruses Craigslist.
I can't say when it happened, but for a while now, I get some listings that they call "nearby" that I would consider more of a day trip or more.
I'm in the western MA area, and I'll regularly get listings all over New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, etc.
Searching free vacuums recently, I briefly got my hopes up that I was about to score a gold or yellow colored Hoover Convertible. Then, I saw it was in "North Jersey".
The post was dated six days ago, so I doubt if it's still there anyway. But, if anyone is actually "nearby" north Jersey, I believe the listing is still up. It looked like a lower end Convertible, probably 1970s or '80s, without a headlight. But it was a cool color, (in my opinion) and looked fairly well preserved and complete.
Has anyone else experienced the same thing, with Craigslist telling you things are nearby, when they're really not?
