We've sold lots of stuff on Craigslist, including a pop-up, a hybrid TT and a SUV. When we sold the pop-up, craigslist was young and not yet full of spammers. That listing was online for about a week. We did get 1 scammer wanting to send us a certified check for more than our asking price and they'd send someone to pick it up. That was a scam.
We had the HTT listed a couple times. The first time, we got a handful of scammers. Even got one guy who setup an appointment to come see it, but never showed up. Some folks wanted more photos (I put together a web page on my web site with about 20 photos and a very detailed description). The second time we listed it, the ad wasn't online long enough to attract the spammers, it sold within a few hours. We had it listed for less than it was worth (although it had some issues) and we got our asking price.
The SUV sold within a couple days. Again, I posted a lot of photos and a very detailed description of the SUV including a list of issues it had. I did not get any scammers with the SUV as I don't think it was online long enough to attract them.
If someone is offering to buy it site unseen for more than it is worth, it is most likely a scam. Everything we listed on Craigslist was cash only sale. Several times potential buyers wanted to send us a cashier's/certified check, that's most likely a scam. I had one buyer text me about 5 times wanted to send me a cashier's check. I told him every time, cash only. Finally he gave up.
If the ad is online for more than a couple days, expect calls/emails from Dealers and even the local Newspaper. If the offer sounds too good to be true, it most likely is.
Our HTT was stored at a storage lot with cameras. When I showed it, I pulled the HTT in full view of one of the cameras. When we sold the SUV, our neighbor was a county police officer, so I just made sure he was home when the potential buyer came to look at it. With both sales, the first viewer was also the buyer.
