Wherever you advertise it you will almost definitely get emails, offering full price plus extra money to pay a delivery service that will pick it up for them. This was just one of the scams I encountered when I had my old fiver up for sale. Usually, the first give away is that they say that they trust you and that your price is fair. They will gladly send you a (bogus) cashiers check.
The English in the communication will usually have a few errors that give them away.
I strung a couple of them along to see how far they would go. Then told them it would be a month before I could confirm the authenticity of their check. The word, "authenticity", threw them for a loop.
