Best Sales Platform?

How to eliminate the low-ballers, tire kickers, scammers, dealers, etc., etc. - on CraigsList (or any other FREE sales medium) - WITHOUT ever answering an "unwanted" phone call - or responding to emails:

Place your add. Use a voice mail (only) phone number for replies.
(*NOT* your home land-line, cell phone number or email).

On your outgoing message, add any further description of your RV (or other item). Indicate you will only return serious calls in the order they were received.

I did same for a TT (at a good price, but not necessarily a "bargain") at about midnight.

On the following day, about 5PM, thought I should check to see how many calls I had.

Yikes! - 95 !! - although some were repeats from folks who didn't quite understand the "program".

Started making a list (of caller's numbers) - but thought I would do as I said, so called the first caller who responded about 2AM (I had posted at midnight).

He arrived at my home with CASH at 9PM, from about 60 miles away.

Placed new outgoing message on voice mail, that the TT had been sold.

Bottom Line: Sold in less than 24 hours. I never had to take early morning, late night,or during lunch or dinner calls..

Sold an aluminum fishing boat the same way - again to the first caller. (He picked up the boat one day later - from about 10 miles away).

BTW - the cost for the "message line" = $8. (per month).
