The ad for my Yukon kept getting flagged for removal, so I started a "help" thread to see what was up. Hoo boy that was a mistake. I was accused of everything from being a scammer, a dealer, and worst of all poor because the bank still has title. Not to mention everyone jumped on my price even though it's under kbb trade in.

I tried to write a new ad taking into account all the pedantic suggestions offered, but that got flagged too. As did my ad in east Texas craigslist. God dammit. What kind of nerd sits around craigslist babysitting the used car market?!

So what the hell do I do? eBay? I already have an ad on cars.com but the only action I get is from Nigerian princes.

Put it in a high traffic area with a for sale sign on it?

If it's under kbb trade in then you shouldn't have a problem brining it into a dealership and unloading it

The people who camp the Craigslist forums are the worst.

Never ever go for help. It's a trap.

There are programs people use to flag ads, if you flag an ad enough it disappears.
Re-post under a different email and at a different location, you will be fine.

I live on a street by the big high school here and kids are the only interest I've had (it's 4x4 with bfg's). But they're tire-kickers. Might be time to find a busier street.

It's a double whammy. They insulted every aspect of the sale (one guy said "just because you're upside down on your loan you expect someone else to pay your interest?" which... I don't know where to start) AND now they're on the lookout for my very fairly priced, decent looking Yukon.
