The S/N ratio is certainly low but deals can still get done. We just have to be vigilant in flushing the lowball scammers quickly and reward them with nothing. When a real buyer comes along, close the sale.
I sold a 2012 Tundra last year and endured a bunch of lowball email offers over several weeks. Then along came a real qualified buyer, drove the truck, paid full asking price and off he went.
I was asking $17k (Kelly Bluebook PP market value) and when email lowballers offered $13k I responded "how about $23k?". They disappeared pretty quickly but more would ask and receive the disrespect they so richly deserved. When one guy said "hey, I thought you advertised it for $17k" I would respond with "Yep, show up with $17k and the truck is yours. Make lame email offers and I will respond with lame counter offers. Just waiting for a real buyer and that is clearly not you."
I have no interest in doing business with these losers. They would probably show up with fake bills anyways.
