Suspicious craigslist post

This may be legit, but I know several of us have had gear stolen. Always suspicious of fishermen selling all their gear.

fishing rods and reels, tackle

Phone number search comes up as an unlisted cell phone. Quick google search on the phone number comes up with numerous listings on various craigslist boards in Lincoln and Omaha. Number is also associated with several other on-line boards/forums for selling fishing/boating gear. From what I saw of the boats/engines being sold I'd say his quality is either in question or very old vintage crap that doesn't run.

I think it's legit. He's not giving it all up. He says he's keeping stuff and selling excess.
