$10K.  Probably could have received more but there were too many little
cosmetic issues that I didn't want to deal with.

I ignore the “Can you hold it for me until next week/month when I’ll have the

I did get ghosted several times, however. People wanting more photos or
videos, asking questions that I answered and never heard from them again,
etc. There was also an Ardent school teacher who was practically penniless
but assured me when he got the money this was just the car for him.

I'm pretty sure you were in a different price bracket. That alone will weed out 
a lot of the idiots. Maybe.

I'm pretty sure that a lot of the "is it available" one line inquires are 
automated and if I answered them I'd get strung along into some kind of scam 
attempt that involved Amazon gift card codes.

Re: [MBZ] OT: the Focus bids adieu

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

I just sold my 1983 300 TD W123 Wagon on Craigslist. I got quite a few
responses including a gentleman who already had a 300 CD with the same
color scheme who had always wanted to own a turbo diesel wagon. The cost of
the transaction to me was $10 for two CL listings.

Welcome to the hell that is buying/selling online. Sounds like Craigslist is 
getting as bad as FB Marketplace.

There’s a “bull bar” for a W164 that’s been advertised on FB Marketplace a 
couple miles away from me. I was sort of interested, because it’s brand new, 
never used and relatively cheap. Ad was posted last Sunday. I DM’ed the seller 
Sunday night. They’ve never looked at the message. I messaged them again today. 
Crickets.

I just don’t get it.

Man trying to sell a car to bottom-feeders is ridiculous.

Buyers trying to play hardball over $50, then going silent when you say OK.

Not worth the trouble, will probably just call the scrapper to come and get it 
if I don't get a real offer in the next day or two.
