In fact my ads typically say "first come first served, don't ask if it is still available, and your first message should include when you want to pick it up. I check their profile & ratings on FB before I respond. New profiles or no history don't get any of my info.

I figure a phone number is easy to change... my address not so much. I have a pretty good filter I've developed over the years. Every listing I have starts with "If you're looking at it, it's still available" and "please read the entire description before messaging". So when I get "Is it still available?" or if there's a question asked that is covered in the listing, I reply back "Please read the listing". If the first question is "where can I come to see ..." I have no problem giving out my number. I figure the worst they can do is increase my spam calls to more than just political.
