Now in the “For Sale” section, click on the “Sporting” link. You will find a list of ads, with the most recent listed first. If you see something you are interested in, call the phone number if they list one, or send an email to the “Reply to” email address at the top of the listing. Check CraigsList daily as new listings can appear at any time.

Govind offered “Amber” $200 to be his girlfriend for an hour, according to police, and arranged to meet. Belmont police arrested Govind and reported finding $700 cash on him.
