Could this potentially be a scam?
Ive been wanting a bold again, but all the offers I get are over what I want to pay.
So I've been scrounging around CL for them and came across this one ad
http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/mob/1302942917.html
There was no contact # so I sent an email and got this response
Hello!
The price for the BB Bold 9000 is 370 CA$. The phone is brand new sealed in the original box. The phone is still in warranty, so you will have no problems with it. I have 20 Bolds just like this one available. The price for 3 is 850 $CA, I am willing to sell 5 for 1300 CA$. If you want to buy more than 5 i am willing to negotiate.
I am waiting for your reply!
Cheers
They left no contact info, but how would someone have 20 bolds to sell?
I also noticed that they're AT&T bolds
Thoughts? I've never bought a brand new phone off CL before and I dont want to be stuck
with a phone that wont work here

Actually to tell you the truth, they sell Bolds at that price if you're a dealer. They're still earning money at that price, but maybe around 20-30 bucks at most. The guy is looking to get rid of his stock pile fast cause who wants a shit load of bolds sitting on a shelf.

You just have to be smart about finding good deals I believe. It's equally not smart opting for the more expensive 2nd hand purchases if they're the same item.
