I just sold my 2005 Allegro Bus about four months ago. It was a horrible experience. I listed on Ebay and Craigslist. Never again on Craigslist. I had all kinds of weidos showing up. One guy showed up at the house while I was at work. Wife called and I ran home(less than a mile). I pull up in the driveway and this guys is on the roof walking around and his wife is inside going through cabinets. Needless to say I ran them off my property. Another guy showed up with a briefcase ( I swear to God) with $15,000. less than my asking price. Tempting, but I didn't feel warm and fuzzy about that one. The third time I listed on Ebay, it sold for $5,000. less than asking price. Very nice gentleman and his daughter flew in and drove it home to Arizona.

All I can say is if you had people showing up at your door without making an appointment, you put way too much info in the Craigslist ad. If you put your phone number in, your address could be found. Any ad in Craigslist must go through the Craigslist email system to be secure and avoid having the wrong people come to your house.
I've sold one RV and one van through Craigslist and both sales went quickly and the only person to make it to my house was invited, after I was satisfied, through emails, that they were buyers.

Your right. This gentleman called and said he would be by around 5:30 PM and like an idiot I gave him my directions and said I would meet him at 5:00. Of course I found out later that some people will do that to try to catch you cleaning up a litle more or jump starting batteries you name it. My wife had no clue until she looked out and saw them swarmimg the RV. I also sold a hot tub through Craigslist and the people would call and get down right rude on the phone. I'll stick to Ebay. It cost more but much safer and you weed out the tire kickers.
