I like em. So easy to skip over if they bother you. I hope the interesting ones continue to get reposted here.
I monitor C/L locally but don't have the time to read and sort all the US listings. Some are unintentionally mis described and can't be found with the easy or obvious key word searches. When an intriguing distant one is reposted here I can dream, and once in a great while can get it packed and shipped without getting ripped off thanks to some on site help from a friend.
I've found a few good deals on C/L including one that was re-posted on milsurplus, a complete BC 375 with everything, incl tubes and TUs and all unused. Good deals but certainly not killer deals.
Pretty easy to filter. I ask for detailed photos. If they don't provide them I don't follow up. I once got suckered into a 80 mile round trip to see a rig that was so rusted out it must have been outdoors and uncovered for many years. Described as "excellent, just needs cleaning". Yeah, with a sandblaster perhaps.
I don't understand why people want ANY info on milsurplus rigs for sale excluded. It's just a couple of clicks to skip or ignore if C/L re-postings offend you. Same for re-postings of interesting eBay milsurplus stuff.
My two cents worth.
