It's real simple to do business, absolutely trouble free, on CL.
1. You don't provide an email.
2. You list your cell # as five-seven- zero etc.... so that it cannot be harvested by a phone spamming computer.
3. You state that you will ignore texts, period.
4. No trades, no shipping, no stories, no games , no BS.
Believe me, that will eliminate 99% of posts like the OP's. CL CAN be a real resource, and connect you with a lot of quality potential buyers, if you use it properly.
X2. I've done quite a bit of business on Craigslist over the years and frequently got responses from scammers, but I noticed that they always contacted me via e-mail. So I started using the e-mail "hide" option when posting an ad and listed my mixed-format phone number as the only way to contact me. I do accept texts though, since so many people prefer that to calling these days.
Since then, zero scammers. None.
I bought my truck, truck camper and 5er on CL. All smooth transactions. I also use eBay but for large items I always use CL.
