I was looking to buy a iPad Pro at a good price and so I keep checking Craigslist periodically. Since the Wifi version is $130 cheaper than the LTE version you'd expect that one to be more popular right? Well, every time I go on Craigslist it seems like I have to browse through a TON of LTE versions to try and find a Wifi version. I mean the ratio on Craigslist seems a little ridiculous where I'd estimate it being around 15-1 of LTE vs Wifi versions 
Is this perhaps a bunch of scammers doing the installment plan trick? Say either a shady person or young adult who doesn't care about having collections on their credit report or understand the value of keeping their score high takes out an monthly installment plan through a carrier to finance the iPad Pro... then they sell it on Craigslist of a lot of cash and not make any installment plan payments so it lapses (thus the iPad you just purchased gets put on the carrier blacklist after you've already paid cash for it).
I'm sure there's a few good, genuine people out there who want to simply sell their LTE iPads... but it sucks that there's no real way to know for sure that an LTE iPad was carrier financed via installment plan so you could buy something at a good price and know for sure you won't scammed
