I've listed a car for sale on Craigslist. I've sold at least five or six before. Now I've had three different "people" respond via text and with just enough mistakes and dialogue to seem convincing, they tell you they want to meet, and right before they ask you for an "IHR" Report or the "NVR Report". Having not heard of those, they give you a link where you have the "opportunity to buy a report. Ugh!
They won't call you - they say they are at work or at church (yes, church, seriously), and often I get the same canned response later in the conversation. On one hand, it's clever, on the other, it's totally frustrating!!
Now I have to remove reply by text from the ad - which is suboptimal since most people prefer to communicate by text.
This is why we can't have nice things.
