No matter the platform, if one’s communication indicates that you’re an idiot, no way do I want to waste time on a purchase/sale.
FB has its place and has an incredible reach. OfferUp, same. Just get too many flakes and lowball offers.
Craigslist, for me, seems to be able to weed out some folks, but that may attest to my process. I also use searchtempest.com to scour CL all over the country. Best use the on something other than mobile as it has lots of info and ads and can be a PITA on a mobile.
Don’t forget about trolls here on this classifieds forum. I’ve sold parts on eBay only to see them show up here for 5x the price. Also seem to be a few folks “scamming” the system with multiple handles and change location like a gypsy - Scooby snack anyone? The late great Danny Quigley and I had a few conversations concerning this flipper mentality instead of helping the 02 community, he had quite the shitlist going that opened my eyes to a few folks on here.
Use the rules to your advantage is something I constantly remind my kids to learn. There is nothing in the rule book that says you can’t buy low and sell high - kind of a basis for our economy? But it can shed light in a forum of like minded enthusiasts when they can no longer stomach pricing for items that are becoming more rare by the day.
Don’t be mad at someone when they pull a you on you.
I said good day ?
