Here's an example from not to long ago on a G4s sale at C-List.
I was curious on how this seller could low-ball apples prices.so I sent out an email asking one small sentence
"Where are you located?"
Before I forget. The people who hold the keys to that site bounced the seller off their site. They tried to repost the same ad by changing the wordings and got 86st again.
Also I NEVER REPEAT email replies past me!
This is the only exception because this seller was so [insert any phrase/word you want] that they tried again on the same auction site and yahoos.
Talk about air bubbles in the head. These guys invented air!
Prime example of to-good-to-be-true.
