What is with people on Facebook marketplace asking is this item available and then never hearing back ? The cheaper the item , the more this seems to happen . What is wrong with these people ?? It never stops , only gets worse .

I can't stand the question, " Is this still available". I just respond, I want to buy this, when can we meet?

Some dude in Moreno Valley just ghosted me on a set of CMI headers. He was like, lets meet, then nothing. Now the add has been deleted after three or four conversations and potential meets ups.

Not sure if it’s true because I’m Facebook illiterate. But my buddy said people will send the “Is it available” so it’s in the message queue. Then they can watch it to see if the price drops, or doesn’t sell for a while so they can low ball.

What's with all these people selling Optima and Odyssey batteries. Are they stolen?

A lot of people inquire late at night before going to bed. Many times, they forget by the next morning. This is sales and I can tell you from experience, sales sucks and it's a numbers game. Just respond in your free time twice a day. Don't think a buyer is truly wanting the item until they show up....meaning half the people won't even show up.

What drives me nuts is the booty patrol guy, capt-b sparrow. I sell quite a bit and he responds to probably 60% of my ads. Not once has he showed up to buy something.

Have a few things listed.
One guy kept low balling and gave me a zero star review for not agreeing to sell to him, after FB reported him as spam/fraud.

💯this. I have dozens of these on my fifth wheel. Also a ton of people who want to come look at it tomorrow and then disappear.

Guy yesterday said he would be here today to pick it up. Messages me this morning. Bank wants you to do transaction here don’t think it’s going to work.

I told him that’s not abnormal what bank and what do they need. And no response lol

I put in all caps "if you see the ad it's still available" and dont respond to them at all.

I sold a a v nose trailer a few months back in 1 day becuase I needed it gone quick so the price was very cheap. Anything close to what it's worth I've never had any luck selling on FB.
