Expect 100+ messages , most of them asking stupid ass question like is it still available , does it come with a trailer , will you trade for a clapped out 1995 Hyuandai with 400k miles etc . , regardless of what you put in the add such as cash only , no trades , etc. some douchebag will text you wanting to trade absolute junk for whatever you are trying to sell or offer you half of your asking price, be prepared.

I agree which is why when I post something nice for sale with registration and completely gone through top to bottom it pisses me off when they try to lowball everything or offer ridiculous trades .

I know the lowball thing is just ridiculous! Most offers are insulting. You make a little wiggle room on the price, then the bastard says less that 50% off. BUH-BYE!

My wiggle room is usually $300.00 , as some found out when I tried to sell a ski late last year I am more than willing to pickle the ski , store it till next season and try again, I refuse to give anything away.

I have a old used Yamaha electronic drum set that I listed on CL the other day for a killer low price of $50, and within an hour I had a guy email saying "I would like to buy the drum set, when can I come and get it?"
I told him he could come pretty much anytime as I am self employed, just let me know when you can come, I live on the north side of town I said. He says I''m on the north side of town, I can go right now". Then before I could even get another email back to him with my address, he sends another email saying "Just send me the address and I'll pick it up".
So I email back my address and cell number, I bring the whole drum kit disassembled outside for him thinking he is probably on his way over now since he had such a big boner to buy it. An hour later nothing, 2 hours later, nothing...He just completely ghosts me. Then next day I email and ask if he still wants the drum set... NOTHING ever again.
FLAKESLIST DELUXE! It really urks me when you give them your address and cell number then they F you...

Yeah, that's why I wait and try to feel them out before a bit. Ive had the bot thing before and its pretty predictive and general. This guy typed like a hick with crappy spelling/grammar and was more personal like than a bot... Yes, I know they like to collect phone numbers for sure! They probably have some advanced bots now I'm sure that can act like anybody..
i really dont want to start meeting up at a gas station or police parking lot to buy and sell things. You cant test something electric at a gas station.. lol Havasu is not a big crime town or anything, but times are changing, that's for sure!
I think I'm just gonna have to ask them for their phone number, and I call them and talk to a real person.. Old Skool!

Yep luckily I am selling Seadoos and I pretty much insist that we meet somewhere so they can water test it , this keeps them away from my house so they can't scope all of my stuff out , the last few that I have sold I did this way and I haven't had to bring one back home yet.
I am reluctant to give out my home address to Joe Blow off the street , either I meet somewhere or have them meet me at my shop at the lake .

Everyone knows markeplace is the worst yet somehow every week i have a more terrible interaction than the last. I wish i would have logged and printed off all of my interactions and made a book out of it. I’d have the best selling book of all time and people would think it’s fiction, ha!

what ever happened to the prince of zamunda ? Miss the simple scams
I am very interested in your item, unfortunately I have to flee my country from tyranny and only can do so on a jet ski.
I will send u a million dollars and u can take what you want for the jet ski and just send me a cashier's check in return .

I have been trying to buy a used truck off of Marketplace , I have found a few but these sellers are quirky , it's like yeah I have a truck, you can't really meet to look at it though, don't have time for that , the next thing you know it's been sold to someone else .
Last week it was a Toyota Sequoia , I messaged him and tried to set up a meet to look at it , he never messaged me back, then a couple of days later it's listed as sold, this week it's a Dodge Dakota , we set it up to meet this afternoon , I message him to see if we were still on , I finally get a message back that on a tractor, he will message me when he gets home, I guess he is still working because I haven't heard from him since.
Most everything on there is junk , when you do find something the people are flaky , it has tried my patience to the end.
This particular truck is nice and only has 71,000 on the clock so hopefully I can put something together with him on it but it's not happening today looks like.

I just gave , I ordered the parts to fix my Toyota head gasket PITA as it is but I did it once , I can do it again.
These guys want thousands of dollars for trucks that don't run, need transmissions , have been rolled over you name it , I have seen it , at least with my truck I know what issues I have to deal with.
I have two older Toyotas , an 86 extra long wheelbase with a 22R and extra capacity fuel tank , that was my dads truck , the plan is to do a complete resto on it and keep it forever , it has over 300,000 miles on it and needs a complete rebuild but for now it's just getting main and rod bearings installed .
I also have a 97 Tacoma that I have to put a head gasket on and flush out or replace the heater core , I am not sure what the prior owners did in regards to the cooling system but it has created a mess for me , it blew a head gasket a few years back and I had the head surfaced and reworked , this time it clogged up the outlet going to the coolant recovery tank and blew a top radiator hose .
I am hoping this go around that I can get by just replacing the gasket as the truck worked fine for a couple of weeks after the hose blew but then it started overheating when I was pulling a double trailer with a 4 Tec and a GTS on it in 100 degree heat . The last time it would overheat immediately , this time it is still somewhat drivable but I just parked it until I had time to fix it.
