I had my car listed 3 months ago and got about a dozen of these calls. All claiming to have X number of requests for my exact car (what a coincidence!). They wanted to charge a fee ($500 I think) and they guarantee a sale. I told them to send me a contract saying I would pay them a finders fee once they found a buyer, not before. For some reason none of them were willing to do this (wonder why). At this point they tend to get very condescending and try to belittle you into it.

Also, prepare to keep getting these type of calls weeks after the ad is removed, it gets very annoying.
