LD for Sale - Disclaimer
The following note was added to a recent ad for a LD on RV Trader.  It made me chuckle 🤭 then I realized it probably represents today’s market place jungle.

HERE'S THE SMALL PRINT: NO trades, NO funny money, NO sad stories, NO insurance policies, don't need help selling this. NO generic inquiries will be answered. NO emails with links to virus infected websites. Google "Lazy Daze" to answer most of your questions.

The modern world is certainly a tricky place.

Having sold a coach (not a LD) via RVTrader in the last year, we can understand the advertiser's experiences that led to that disclaimer.  Facebook Marketplace, even when advertising solely in a RV-brand-For Sale group and not on the public side of Marketplace, was even worse.

We had multiple fake "VIN check service" e-mails that were solely for phishing of credit card info (easy to dig into the fake website URLs without clicking on them, and apparently it's a common issue with RVTrader), super low-ball offers, dealerships hounding us offering below wholesale, PopRVs e-mailing and calling us daily to try and get us to sign up for their "service", odd trade offers (cars, timeshares, boats), people engaging with good questions then revealing they wanted to trade a low-quality RV for it, professional scam artists (that one was a doozy).  Oddly, the person who bought our coach we initially wrote off as a scam because their e-mail was simply "I want to buy this RV; can I have a friend of a friend in the area look at it?".  Turned out to be legit, didn't even haggle, wired us the asking price.  So what seemed seriously legit was a big-time scammer and what seemed like a scam was actually legit.

Seeing the increasing number of scams occurring each day is sad and disappointing.
