Trying to sell my Class C and I am running into some weird people. Have you had this experience?

I've been using Craigslist for years to sell a wide variety of things, including RV's. This is what works for me. Never give your contact information in the ad. I make them give me their phone number then I call them. If they start with a weird story I hang up. If they sound serious then I ask them if they have the money. If there's any stuttering I hang up. I take only green money, and then I test it with the pen testers to make sure it's all good. I know a guy who took $10,000 out of US Bank, and discovered that $3000 was counterfeit. When he took it back to the bank, they refused to take it back. It was his loss. You have to be careful with everything.
Good response. I'll add that when the first question is "is it still available" I ignore the response. ALWAYS get their phone number first, I am getting spam on my cell phone, ticks me off. Meet is a safe place.
The legitimate buyer will pursue you and honor reasonable requests, if it sounds weird it is. Meet at your bank and have your bank help with the transaction, that is what banks do.
