I used to get a lot of scrap from Craigslist items wanted ads. Now every time I post an ad, some anonymous cowardly SOB deletes it.
When I try to sell something I get lots of "still available?" emails which I think are just harvesting email addresses.
Half of the free stuff ads I respond to turn out to be scams who eventually say "sorry, but the lady I promised it to did finally call back. However, you might want to check out this website for government grants, etc"
For now I am advertising in the more specialized areas, ignoring the "still available?" emails and trying not to waste too much time chasing the free items ads.
However, it is quite frustrating and I hate to just let the scammers and unethical competitors win.
