Notice they don't even mention the item in the email at all. I guess it is automated.

I got the same email from Patrick Miller in reference to my 290 on Craigslist. He must really love his Dad!

I wished someone loved me that much...:smt089

Maybe I should see if I can sell him a bridge or some ocean front property in ND.
