If I'm selling, the following goes in my post: "If it's shown, it's available, do not ask. The first message needs to include when you want to pick this up, no holds, first come.
When I'm buying, it's either an intelligent question, or a cash offer to pick up in person at their earliest convenience, if their profile seems to check out.

And yet on facebook the items with those messages are often as not sold and seller forgot to take down the ad… you might mean well but the world doesnt abide. To me it seems polite to ask. Ive bought tools from people with angry ads and theyre the nicest people in person - i feel bad for whatever past trauma was responsible for the angry facade.
Its the internet - part of the job of interacting is getting a good whiff of each others buttholes.
