    When I click on each of the links in post #1 I get

    This posting has been flagged for removal
    (The title on the listings page will be removed in just a few minutes.)

    The one in #54 specifically says "please don't flag" ...

    How do I recognize a byb on Craigslist? Is this one?

    Hmmmmm....that might be an alternative way for millers to get around us.
    It does say "contact for more information".
    Could be genuinely trying to sus out good homes, could also be a way to inform people that the pups cost X amount of dollars.
    A hard one.
    What do you reckon LH ???

    They say please don't flag to try and avoid getting flagged, even though they know they aren't supposed to be advertising on CL.

    For the most part, someone legitamately looking to rehome an accidental little will post a fee, mainly low to cover the cost of vaccinations and spay/neuter.

    The post you linked is almost definitely a BYB. No stated fee, details upon contact, etc.

    I just flagged them all.. except the last one, which said it has already been flagged for removal.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.

    Ugh why do people do this?! They are in it for the money, and nothing else.

    Flagged them all, except for the last one which is already flagged for removal like Phesina said.
