How dumb do you think I am Craigslist? (Anyone want to buy a Roadmaster?)

I’ve been trying to sell the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for a few weeks now. I’ve had zero interest in it, except for for scammers. Two of the classic, “I’ll send you a cashier’s check, you ship me the car ....” I had another asking if I would give it to a “disable Veteran” (that’s exactly how he typed it), and then yesterday I got this gem. I’m not the sharpest spoon in the shed, but seriously? Who is dumb enough to click on that link?

Also, any constructive criticism for making my ad for the Roadmaster is welcome. If I have to drop the price much more, I’ll just keep the thing.

You know who would click that link? My mother in law. At least now she calls my wife before signing away her identity and bank account info to anyone that asks for it.

Seems like a good honest ad. I’d leave it at some rust and have them ask for details. You could up your photo game by doing all the same shots in a super rich neighborhood as if you live there but other than that the price seems fair so guessing it’s just odd enough of a vehicle to be getting overlooked. Bet someone will bite soon. And if you just want more interactions to post to oppo say your open to trades just for the fun of it.

Clean the leaves off the car, replace those pictures with leaves all over it, or at the very least, don’t lead with one with leaves all over the car.

I never put my phone number on CL and won’t give it out until I’ve vetted the buyer a bit.

Nice looking car, but given the issues it has, I suggest you may need to drop the price to just below $2000 to spark some interest.

And I suggest removing the pictures where there are leaves on the car.

I did say I was open to trades :)

Thanks!

I used to do that, but so many people only communicate via text these days. I just ignore the scammers.

That would severely restrict my K5 Blazer/Bronco/Super Coupe/whatever-strikes-my-fancy acquisition fund.
