He is at it again. Just today I emailed Jim Buckner about his one bedroom apartment. It sounded way to good to be true, so I started looking on the internet low and behold here we are. The funny thing is I cannot find the advertisemant on Craig’s list now. It has been only 5 hours since I viewed the ad.
