Since wifey is now retired, and occasionally wants to fish with me, I want to get a little safer and larger boat.....I found a nice Bass Tracker via Craigslist, however, the owner sent me an email that he wants the transaction handled thru ebay "to protect both him and me".....I've never been scammed, but am VERY wary of buying sheeit on Craigslist.

So, is this a common practice or just another scam ???
