A lot of people peruse Craigslist regularly looking for good deals, so a good price on a well photo-documented sale item will bring them out.
I recently found a couple of sellers who had decent collections of bikes to sell, and found some deals there.
I also visited one where the bike had a cracked frame not acknowledged, something that has happened a few times before.
I recently sold a TT bike to a buyer who was on vacation from France, and have unloaded a few others that were "rare" enough to attract buyers from outside the immediate area.
So there are people watching the ads looking for deals, and there are lowlifes as well.
