I have a motorcycle on Craigslist now. The first scam attempt was a guy wanting me to run a VIN check for him, on a site he selected. When I investigated the site, I learned that he was set up to get a commission for a referral to that site, so he answered the ad only to get a few bucks out of me.
A week ago it happened again, but that VIN check site was totally bogus, so I assume it was set up to get my credit card number.
I did get two calls that were probably legit. One was a guy offering a lot less than my asking price, and the other was a woman who though it was a completely different motorcycle. Once I pointed out what it is, I never heard from her again.
