A few years ago, I was selling my son's Honda 100 dirt bike on CL. I noted that the sale would be
*no trades
*cash only. No lowballers, I know what this bike is worth.
*local only, no shipping
Had a few "inquiries" that were obvious overseas scammers, I ignored them. One response was an offer to trade for a TV that I could buy, new, at about 1/3 of the price of the bike. I responded back that, as I mentioned in the ad, I was not interested in trades. The "ahem" came back and offered me the same amount of cash as the TV was worth, again, far less than the worth of the bike.
It took all that I had not to respond to the scammer lowballer that obviously he couldn't read. I just trashed his email and marked his email address to automatically go to trash.
Sold the bike the next day to a young man who showed up with cash, he was happy, we were happy.
