Recently I tried to sell a daily driver, and some kid called up over the phone cutting my asking price in half. His argument was that he saw one similar price. I already did my research and informed him the vehicle in that ad (still $1500 more than his offer and listed as firm) was a lower trim model, 3 years older, and had over 200k MORE miles than mine, and it was already sold within 2days. He wanted to negotiate still, but I politely said, we are too far apart, and I didn't offer a counter. Pretty sure he's been watching too many TV shows. BTW, I later sold it for only $500 less original asking price.
I've also learned many years ago, never put your bottom price with "firm." Too many tire kickers that think they can still talk you down. I tried this one time. I did all my research, at $9500 it was by far the least expensive (well below blue book), of similar age, and mine was super low mileage (stored in winter). One guy wanted me to lower the price because the insurance would be kind of high for his son who was in his early 20s. Like that's my problem? Am I a charity (didn't say it, but thought it). In retrospect, I think he was a broker using his son as a bargaining chip. My favorite exchange though (this one over the phone) selling that car, was this: Him: "So what's your bottom price?" Me: "It's in the ad, $9500." Him: "You're not willing to negotiate even a little?" Me: "No, that's why I put 'firm' in the ad." Him: "Sooooo... if I showed up tonight with $8000 cash...." Me: "You would go back home with $8000 cash." He finally got the point and said goodbye. Amazes me that people want to negotiate hard before they even see the vehicle.

have any of you ever dealt with a local number texting you hell bent on getting your email address? and getting emails through the craigslist system from the "same person" also asking for your email
I keep asking questions that a local would be able to answer or at least respond to, but texts from the local number are giving me some doubts.

I think I have given him plenty of reasonable consideration and asked plenty of questions to give him the chance to prove himself but nothing.
