Craigslist

So, I post my porsche for sale on craigslist today, few hours later I get an email from some guy saying if its still available for sale. I reply to that email, and 15 min later my ad is flagged. FTW? Is it coincidence that my s***t gets removed, or he friggin flagged me. How does it work?

Might be that is was listed under "by-dealer" and "by-owner" at two different prices

Note the "is it still for sale" is a means for acquiring your email.

when they hit reply -- they don't know your true email, but when you
respond 'yes' they do.

you'll also get the guy on a carrier that wants you to ship it to his dad in South Dakota..........

not sure how to avoid either.

Yeah, i had this guy asking me if it's still for sale. So I replied, and he came back with "ship" story. I told he can have it as long as he gets me certified cashiers check from proper US bank. I haven't heard from him since. I know all the tricks and scams they are going for. I was going to have fun with him, but it didn't work out between us, Lol.
