There is a basic guidebook available today on how to answer an online ad. A brief summary should be helpful:
First, you say something generic and irrelevant. If you're on Facebook,
repeatedly use the automatic "Is it available?" response. If the seller
responds to you, make your initial offer. Your initial offer should be
no more than 1/4 the asking price, or you should offer something broken
or useless as a trade. If the seller expresses any interest, add a
demand that he deliver the item directly to your home. If the seller
offers to meet you halfway, agree and then don't show up.
This guide has become a bestseller, as proven by the number of online buyers who are following its wisdom.
