From my experience...
- Put up as many pics and as much detail as possible, that helps weed out randoms just calling/texting then never hearing from them again.
- Scramble your number...helps minimize scams, though inevitably you'll get some.
- Don't even accept emails, the majority is spam, might even be a good idea to accept calls only & no texts to minimize the antisocial people who are likely the lowballers.
- Don't put 'obo' in the ad or anything saying you're flexible or open to offers...if you're selling something then people know there's a negotiation process. If you have extra items to go with it, then use that as leverage in negotiation.
- Make sure you only accept cash (cashier's check for expensive items like a motorcycle)
That's about all i can think of right off hand.
