I'm of the opinion that you just treat kijiji as place of human beings as that's what it is. It sucks that there is a lack of decorum and low ballers and all that, but I still just try to project civility and clarity in discussion and it usually goes really well, even with lowballs.

Be direct for sure, and if someone is a bag of ****s then just ignore them. I've even got sales from people that started off rocky and ignore worthy but I just responded pointedly and the discussion progressed. With one guy posting the typical "Will take 40% of your ask". I actually had a polite but firm "lol, sorry bro not even close" followed by a further explanation of condition, which progressed to him agreeing to grab it for full price.

Then when he came he was really chill and funny and the interaction was like two old friends getting together. There's a lot lost in translation when people interact online.
