I sold a hunting truck recently. Listed it on Craigslist Houston and wife listed it in Facebook Marketplace.

Almost immediately I was hit with scammers on Craigslist. "I want to buy it", etc...etc... all bullshite scams. Pulled the listin and stated truck would be sold for cash and we would meet at that person't bank to handle the transaction and title changeover during normal banking hours M-F or Sat AM. All scam contacts immediately stopped.

Honestly... who buy a boat, truck, motorcycle, etc... without seeing it and hearing it run?

Craigslist is unusable now because of scammers. Marketplace doesn't seem as bad but only because I only list things locally or buy things locally.

Id almost bet the used boat market either is or will be inundated about mid-july this year. All them folks that became boat owners in 2020 because they are bored are probably about ready to get rid of that expensive leaf cathcer.

I like to do some trading with boats. It’s funny if you list something on marketplace “for trade” you will be inundated with people sending “price?” Or “how much cash money today?”
But if you list a price you either get zero hits or just low ballers. “What’s the lowest you will take ?”
