Yep. Sold 4. No issues
So how many scam replies did you get though? I've heard so many stories, I guess I'm a little bit jaded.

I mean what else do you want him to say lol? It's obvious you don't want to sell the car that much. I probably wouldn't have said anything different especially if I had a kid in a unsafe vehicle. Ain't got time for that shite.

Don't put your phone number in the add, and never give someone your personal email address.

Well how about some common fricking sense.

Like:"Hey I'm Tom from Breaux Bridge but have a Florida number cause I recently moved here. Would you consider taking $5000 for the Sequoia?"

Basically, try not to text like a fricking Nigerian or a bot. Is this too much to ask?

Yeah, I just got a text offer to sell it for nude pics of Spicy Stacy.

Lesson learned.

craigslist started to suck when they banned HTML ads. I used to put in ads with phone numbers and all and bots never got them. I sell stuff there time to time. I can tell a bot email from a regular one usually (second one not a bot, lol)

Craigslist is full of lowballers. I would never talk price until I lay eyes on the vehicle though. I hate people that just send offers without checking it out.

When you do meet always have back-up with you.

I sell more than I buy, and haven't had many problems. Still I bring my "2nd amendment loving" buddy with me when I go to look at something.

The text message I got about my truck on Craigslist was "would u take 13k for it?". The guy showed up the next day with cash. If you're going to sell on the Internet don't be so shocked people use modern forms of communication, grandpa.

Oh yeah, I'm gonna meet them in a public parking lot, not my home. And I will be packing a Glock.

Thanks for the advice.

Dude, I thought it was a bot like the first text. Especially after they answered my text with "Cool thanks".

I was thinking on my first reply to them that it's either a bot or I'm gonna insult someone who's low balling the shite outta me. So what, it's not like I'm losing a sale.
