A rule of thumb is if they don't have a phone number it won't be worth your time.

Really? I don't ever put my phone number on CL; don't need the dipshits calling me, I'll call them. There are at least as many clowns on the buy side as there are on the sell side.  ;)

There are some who are legit of course, but after going through a few idiots (it was always the guys who listed a lame email address with no phone number) I'm pretty reserved about contacting them.

Of course, the best method is to compare other prices.  If there's a price too good to be true then the old rule more than likely applies.

First of all I want to thank you for your interest for my truck. I sell it at this price($2,870.00 ) because i'm in a divorce with my husband.
Now the truck is in my property and as a woman i don't need it. This truck is in excellent working conditions, no scratches, flaws or any kind of damage, slightly used in 100% working and looking conditions and comes with a clear title.
From the beginning you have to know that for the payment I request only secure pay, I prefer the payment to be done using eBay services.
We will use a safe payment method because I am affiliated at eBay and I have a purchase protection account for $20,000.00
The final price that I want for this truck is $2,870.00 including shipping and handling.

If you are interested in buying it please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through eBay.
I will wait your answer very soon.
Thank you,
Emma Jefferson

That is almost verbatim of a reply I got from a listing on a 1800 bike I checked on back in November.  Do these people have no imagination or sense.

Is that when you post under M4T?

Chad, I can get a decent deal on some '08 toyota tundra's single or quad cab, I think we have about 20 we are getting rid of.  All in great condition, I want to say the prices were $13,000 - $16,000...  Let me know if you want me to check & i'll get a list of what we have left.
