I would. Just cause...
1) its craigs list. Can be a scam
2) there is no phone number listed to call just in case nothing shows up.
So if they're not willing to ship you the stuff first, then back off cause its a good possibility its just someone looking to make a quick buck

IMO its a scam...anything like that on craigslist i would not trust. if it was more reputable they probably would've posted it somewhere else. It happened to me before
Just a heads up

Rule of Thumb: Any job that you have to *pay* anything to get in is a scam.
Also, even if it is true, it sounds too "under-the-table" to be legit. Payments through paypal? That's pretty much handing you cash....otherwise they'd set it up as a direct deposit.

Are you serious?You are actually thinking about doing this sh*t scam??
Think about this for all of 3 seconds: what legit job makes YOU pay to get involved?
Answer: NONE
end of story. Try Monster, Careerbuilder, etc
Good Lord I cannot believe you are even contemplating this scam. They don't even issue paychecks, they paypal you money. Yeah, that's real legit.

sounds like a scam, i tried something like this before, $40 registration fee, paid that, and the packet they sent me was bogus. this was when i was in highschool, lookin for a way to make money.
