Ever tried selling a vehicle (or anything really) through Kijiji? You're almost forced to mark it up 50% what you really want just to account for the low ballers.

I had a 98' grand am with two sets of tires listed for $1,500ish and I was getting calls/emails like "would you take $250 and deliver it to me in Airdrie?".

When it comes time for a new car I'll take whatever the dealer is offering on my current bucket just to avoid the hassle of fielding calls/emails from tire kickers.
