RV flipping a big thing in Reno?
November 25 2015 I was out in the garage working and a lady walks up the driveway (good thing I was done welding) and asks if I wanted to sell our TT. I said, no. She left. Later that day, anot...

Interesting ideas.. I noticed the same hand written note stuck to several other TT's in the area. Most of the TT's on CL in this area seem to be scammers, at least when I was actively looking the 'sellers' didn't know anything about the trailers they were supposedly selling so perhaps the local used RV dealers are desperate for inventory.
I just wish they'd pay attention to the no soliciting signs and stop annoying us.
I am not sure why you label them scammers? Your price was high for a used 2013 given what can be had almost anywhere. In fact your calling her with a price that you surely knew was too high just to waste the time was more of a scam than her offer to buy.
Consider that there is a trend for low income folks to live in RV's in trailer parks and RV parks in small cheap trailers. Some are sold to them others are rented. This then makes economic sense then to go around buying up used Rv's. Reselling them to dealers is problematic although many dealers are looking for trade ins and used stock. But the sale price would have to be very low.
My price was an on purpose trolling to see what I could learn about this person, IF I were actually interested in selling I would put a reasonable price on it.. however price has nothing to do with my statement that most of the CL ads for TT's in this area are scams.
Most CL RV sellers in this area are likely scammers because they don't know ANYTHING about the RV they are trying to sell. Seriously, they often don't even know the model number. When contacted you'll get a copy/paste of the same text in the ad, questions not answered.
I've had several tell me 'it's sold' when I asked the most basic questions (what model, gross weight, does it have an oven, etc). Had one tell me it was sold, but then when I contacted them again with another email address is was all of a sudden available.. until I asked questions and it's sold again. Even tried a third time, and it was again available.
The above is why I believe that most CL RV ads in this area are scammers.. nothing to do with price.
