Beware of scam posting vehicles on Kijiji for prices too good to be true. They say they are using Amazon payment and vehicle protection. Not true-total scam. Did not get me. I used internet tools to check and confirm they are scammers.

Its pretty simple, if you cant meet them in person, cash in hand to view and purchase what you are trying to buy, its a scam.

I must one lucky guy. I've made 100's of online purchases. And have to be burnt?
Kijiji is a gong show however. Too many scammers.

Yup, great source of free advertising. Really incredible actually.
Have bought numerous things including a car. Have sold and given away tons of stuff.
The amount of free stuff is crazy. Including houses. No joke.
Common sense goes a loooooong ways to mitigating headaches.

At least 30 purchases from vehicles, snow machines, ATVs and sporting equipment...never a bad deal...love it! I personally refuse to do online purchases with individuals
