I've sold several but it has been a few years and this one is a bit more valuable than my previous sales ($13.5K versus $5K-8K typically) .
I provide a lot of information, many pictures, price fairly and my past sales have all been quick and painless.
Any new scams to be aware of or any new things "not to do"?
I plan to accept cash. Or a cashiers check only if I receive it personally handed to me from an employee at their bank or credit union.
I've always provided my cell to text or call - using just Craigslist relay messenger often leads to dead ends for me on sales in my experience.
Craigslist suggests only using their relay messenger.
I'm familiar with various text scams (send me code I sent, out of state buyers etc.)
I've never had a request for a mechanics inspection - not sure how to handle that.
I've had very little luck with Facebook marketplace for lower value items, but I've not tried selling a car through it.
Thoughts or tips?
