What has selling cars come to?

I didn't realize selling it would be such an education in how people behave online vs. in person. At least 10 people have sent 1 message asking what the lowest I will take is, and 1 person offered me half the asking price with his first message. I actually enjoy the old fashioned art of coming out, kicking the tires, test driving it, and going back and forth, but I guess those days are gone forever in the digital age.

The scam attempts so far have been isolated to the Craigslist ad instead of the Facebook Marketplace ad.

Is your item still for sale?

Tuesday is fine with me, if you pay in cheeseburgers!

Fuggin Craigslist scammers....

It was nice seeing that thing roll out of the neighborhood for the last time. I even got to hold the cash for about 20 seconds before my wife swooped in and snatched it up.
