You found this on craiglist? Do not buy it, this is a well known scam, seller might own a legit copy of Little Samson but the thing is he'll probably ship you a brick instead
Nobody's selling a little samson for 300, if it were real somebody would have bought it within a couple of minutes after the ad was posted, save your time this is a scam, you would be protected by paypal but why risk it, if the seller decides to ship you something paypal might wrongly side with the seller because tracking shows it as "delivered".
he sent me those pics , he said hes take 150 then ship then 150 after delivery....... I am very weary about this but paypal protection should cover i just wanted a second opinion from you guys
I have done a deal like this before and got scammed and paypal did not refund me, if you do this be careful.
The fact he agreed to 150 before and after shipping seems to me like hes trying to scam. I wouldn't trust people on cl anyway with something this big tho
This came up in St. Louis as well. Nobody is selling a LS for $300. You either 1)know it's worth a lot and are going to ask a lot for it or 2) don't know it's worth and are going to sell it on the cheap. Highly unlikely someone is going to sell one at this price.
This popped up near my usual CL search range in Michigan. He was responding to a few emails with much haste, and then I asked the guy to take a picture of the inside with an index card saying a certain something. No response, surprise surprise.

From those pictures the board looks legit, but the label looks like it might be a reproduction.
Board looks like it was taken in a different place from the others.

If the dude isn't willing to put a piece of paper with his name/date/random word next to the item in the pictures, don't bother.

Derp. That too.
and plus the photo(s) are dark ( dead giveaway IMO )
I'd always ask for a photo with a hand-written date & username/email to verify the seller owns what they are selling when buying high value items.
