Messed with m40 - but original DAK paint?

[MAP]

Is this a Craig's listing??

And what is the name of the seller?

Funny that my memory is fading as I commented on the original helmet. LoL

I must be naïve or stupid or both. I am having trouble understanding the basis of this thread.

So I have wasted my time replying to this "whatever" thread ? Now I have to pick & choose with caution who & what I (we) are replying to here ?

No David, the OP in this thread saw this helmet for sale. But then just found out it is a scam. The seller is a fraud. He doesn't even own the helmet. lifted the photos from here or somewhere.

Apparently this helmet is owned by a forum member who's posted it here before and also on USMF. LINK: Picked up German helmet from vet,

Given the ridiculously low price, and how it was given to him by the veteran himself, who was a friend, and how he lives in upstate New York, I think it's safe to say whoever is "selling" this is NOT the actual owner and is a scammer. Question: what's the point of "selling" something you don't own? Is it just to get someone's email in order to spam them?

I knew as soon as I saw it that I had seen it before! A great helmet for whoever owns. Leon.

Ha! Get in line Marty. I said it in first in post #15 Of course we are all saying this without even talking to the owner...LoL

The listing was indeed on craigslist, asking only $200.

I asked for more pictures and ofc didn't recieve a response.

So I'm assuming the scammer would refuse to do business in person and want payment sent first. I'm just used to using craigslist for in-person transactions, that's kind of the point of it - but I guess there's people who fall for this type of thing. :/
