Some of the adds on craigslist have a list of "Key words" after the main add. This list is the advertisers attempt to fool or defeat your search narrowing attempts and get their add seen no matter how narrow your search. CL is a self policing form If enough people in your area flag adds that they find deceptive, abusive, or scam, the list gets better. If people stop flagging the bad stuff it will deteriorate quickly.

I flag at least 30 to 40 ads a night in my local craigslist...

I gave up searching and just click all for sale. If I check it daily I see about 200 ads a night that are new. But that way I see it all. Sometimes tractors aren't in the right category or maybe just mislabeled. Got a couple killer deals for tractors because people misspell stuff and no one sees the ads.

I'll say it again. Phones for phone calls, computers for internet work. Decent little camera for a heck of a lot less than a smart phone that takes better pictures, download on a computer and upload to any site you want. Problem solved.

Best way to go. I catch the same flack but haven't/won't change. My phone won't take pictures. I think it will text but I don't do that either.

guess it depends on where your at as far as CL is concerned. Yes there are dead beats, scammers, etc. on there but for the most part I have had good luck on CL, both buying and selling.

chieffan I guess I'm with you. Maybe it's because we live in a rural setting but I've had pretty good luck with CL. One thing a prospective buyer has to keep in mind is photos tend to make things look about 30% better than real life.
 
I buy and sell all the time on craigslist. Just find it to be a very frustrating process. Low ballers, no shows, people who flat out lie about an item. Ect ect...but that's the world. Not just a craigslist problem!

I had a guy drive 8 hours to look at a polaris rzr I had for sale. Wanted 10 grand for it. He drove all that way to look at it. Wasted an hour of my life. He said it's nice but I'll give you 5 for it. All I have. I said well come back with 5 more and you can have it...

Why waste 16 hours of your life....
