How do you know they dont have the money? Dont assume that if a dumpy looking guy looks at it that he's broke. I have worked with people who literally couldn't sign their name but owned a block of rental houses. It's not your issue if they come to look at it to buy and resell it. You are treating it more as HR guy screening people rather than an rv do it yerselfer seller. Maybe you could take it to a consignment lot if you aren't cut out for the Craigslist environment.

List it
Show it
Agree on price
They hand you cash

You hand them clear title and hand written bill of sale with price saying NO guarantees on anything

They hook up and leave

Short fat tall skinny black white Mex dumb beautiful stinky ugly, take their money give them RV, go buy another RV.

I only know what they told me. If they lied to me about their situation, that is on them. And yes, I am "Screening" people because I don't want people wasting me time playing games. Since I started the journey to sell my truck and TT, I have actually been contacted by more Scammers and swindling dealers then private parties.

Am I wrong to want to screen out scammers that want to steal my identity and empty my bank account?

Am I wrong to not want to have to deal with fast talking, arrogant, belligerent dealers that try to make you feel like an idiot and that belittle what you have to sale to make you think it is total garbage so you will give to them for free?

Truth is, I have not sold a car or anything since the 1990s. Back then it used to be so simple. You took out an ad in the paper, people came and bought your stuff. Most people had still had some common courtesy back then and lived by a much higher moral standard back and generally treated each other with respect. Today though, you have ten scammers for every real person and people have buried the bar acceptability for human behavior below the ground. There are no standards of acceptability that people have to live up to anymore and the idea of "Common Courtesy" being "COMMON" is so foreign to most modern Americans, that it might as well be a myth.

Well, call me old school but I still live by those old high standards even if no one else does, because I believe they were a lot better then what we have today.

"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things that a man needs to believe in the most: that people are basically good; that honor, courage, and virtue mean everything; that power and money, money and power mean nothing; that good always triumphs over evil; that love, true love, never dies... No matter if they're true or not, a man should believe in those things because those are the things worth believing in." Hub (Second Hand Lions)
