I don't think it's stolen. I think it might be a scam though.

I just checked CraigsList for Minneapolis and the same listing is there, with a message saying "This listing has been flagged for removal". Same guy.

This is not a stolen machine. It's a scam that runs throug CL constantly. They get people to accept a fake check for more, pay them the difference etc. This is not new and won't be the last time you see it.

Just goes to show you that if it is too good to be true, it is too good to be true.

Found this same ad when I was looking for an 830. Even tried to contact them and did not hear back. Purchased mine from dealer. Found out it was a scam.
