Seems you know the item, if it sounds too good might as well skip it.

And from the description: We do not ship these to California. But because : These don't meet the CARB certifications. 🤣

@simba6 ,
Why would you even ask about buying that tractor from a China based seller?
The price is about 1/4 of what it sells for new in the U.S. (red flag) and even if they are fully assembled in china, they are not allowed by Troy Built to sell them outside of China (RF#2) Free Speedpak shipping a small package delivery service (RF#3) New Seller (RF#4) Item location given as cn China, no city (RF#5)
You've been on these boards for 20 years and should know what to look out for, to avoid scams by now.

Can't believe people are actually buying from them.

I don't think simba posted because they're looking to buy the item. I think it was just to share something amusing.

Maybe, you're right but how many experienced members have we read topics from, who have been taken in by low prices? My reply may have helped a less experienced member who read it, to avoid a scam in the future.

If the intent was to "help a less experienced member" that could certainly have been accomplished without the snarky "You've been on these boards for 20 years and should know what to look out for, to avoid scams by now."
