Not a for sale post

Mike,

That is indeed strange, and frankly concerning. While I can’t really comment on how Craigslist or other sites utilize their ads or how they are shared, I wouldn’t be surprised if other sites out there are scraping data from Craigslist.

Applications like Qwilo do just that, putting Craigslist in a much more user-friendly format. However, to my knowledge most of these applications don’t “pirate” content, rather they aggregate it.

Perhaps keep an eye on it, and go from there?

Out of curiosity, have you tried to buy it from the guy to see what happens? Only kind of joking. If you did try it, I would not give out any personal information, phone numbers, etc. and definitely would use a “burner” email address.
