What's your policy ?

I have found the following works well:
If I am selling, I put in the facebook listing - no phone numbers, no codes, cash only, and if you see the ad don't ask, it's still available. First message should include when you want to pick up this item. Then I lookup their info, and if they are new or have no posts or are not nearby, I don't waste my time replying. I also rarely put up items worth less than $50, they get donated.
If I am buying, my first message includes my offer, state it's cash, and when I am available to pick up. When I do that, most people are willing to hold or won't sell out from under me for more money.
