"....... I've seen so many of them listed using the same pics, but different cities, contact info, etc, it's scary."
Guess I'm naive. I understood what you posted was the way a person with something for sale posted it in as many places as they thought might get an answer so that they could broaden their perspective positive reply base. Shipping containers are a good example of that. I have seen the same commercial in many parts of the country. Now, are they an outfit with a large purchasing/distribution network to provide products to potential customers, will they ship anywhere from one location, or are they as you say, scams.....who knows, I surely don't. Quite a few boats for sale in areas where cities are close together which is what I would do if I were selling something that might get overlooked by someone in another city's listing area within driving distance.
I have purchased several items locally, including "an estate sale" (best reason for something being for sale) that was 50 miles away, a 1988 Ford 3910 diesel with 900 hrs, new rubber, good paint, started faster than I could get my fingers off the key, excellent hydraulics, smooth shifting, straight tin, on and on at $7500....after haggling (from 9k original listing) on the spot, money in hand and a trailer to take it home.
On buying something far away, and not "kicking the tires", I would indeed be careful.
