I got ONE - UNO single offer from a guy with actual money, and he tried to lowball me for $2,100. I told him to look up the meaning of the word "firm" in the dictionary and get back to me. Never called back.

God I hate selling on CL.
I once (and only once!) held a garage sale. I was young, I had a bunch of CR@P I was trying to get rid of. My sisters came over with boxes of their old cr@p too. Old books, junk, a few coffee mugs with chips on them...that kind of stuff.

I had about 20 or 30 mismatched old coffee cups/mugs from three families on a table and I think my sister put a 10 cents sign next to them. Morons wanted to bargain DOWN the price. They're mismatched, chipped friggin coffee cups for Kee-Reists sake! I told one guy I will throw them in the trash before I bargain on a 10 cent item. He kinda laughed - I threw one across the driveway and smashed the cr@p out of it! Idiots.
