Craigslist funny stuff

So what do you think. Is this seller innocent, ignorant, naive? Or are they just pretending the model is some kind of celebrity and that they don't know this tray is very common and being sold on ebay for less than half of the $50.00 they are asking?

I think it's somewhat of a con.






'COKE TRAY' '50'S 'WHO IS THE MODEL? - $50 (MEDFORD)



condition: excellent
'COKE TRAY' '50'S ORIGINAL AND 'WHO DO YOU THINK IS THE MODEL????
THIS TRAY IS WELL WORTH THE ASKING PRICE AND WHEN YOU BUY IT I WILL SHARE A GREAT STORY ABOUT THIS 'COKE TRAY'
THANKS,, COME AND TAKE IT HOME!

I can't tell. I don't know who the model is either, if it is somebody famous. However three out of four quicky google searches show it going for $40.00 and higher....so I'd say it's a buyers market. Buyer beware, but whatever the market supports.

Well your mistake is trying to estimate the value of an item by the price people are ASKING.
Anyone can ask anything. The most accurate way to determine an items worth is to find out the price the item has actually sold for.
That's what I did. And I didn't find one single sale that was anywhere near the inflated price this seller is asking.
And also no one else pretended or implied the model was someone notable.
