Why is it listed as a 2009 Chevy express??
Because he's too lazy to correctly select "K1500" from the drop-down menu. Kinda like being too lazy to clean out the trash.

What I hate are the people who list their truck's price as "$1,234", and then you click on it and they're asking $5000, "but Facebook wouldn't let me put the price". Bullcrap. Your post gets reported.

I should start reporting posts like that lol. I hate it when people do that. I use Marketplace to sell my stuff now and you can edit the post and change the price very easily.

I always assume anything with obvious errors is some sort of scam. And if they’re too dumb to accurately post an ad you probably don’t want to deal with them. I assume it’ll be one of those cases where, “my cousin has the truck title but he’s in rehab but as soon as he gets out and finishes a drywall job and pays his bills we’ll get you the title out of his ex-wife’s brother’s storage unit in Anchorage “...life’s too short

I've noticed that being more and more frequent for some reason. I haven't been able to figure out of the dude listing the vehicle is just an idiot or it Facebook actually put limits on listing price based on vehicle. I'm leaning more towards being an idiot.

I've sold two vehicles in the last six months on FB Marketplace. I put my asking price, plenty of pictures, and answered questions as quickly and honestly as I could. The honesty got the sales. That said, I had to put up with lots of flakes to find real buyers. Be sure and include the labor of answering silly questions in your asking price.

“Is this still available?” is always a hit.

"Click-bait" would be a good word to put it for people who do that, haha. They think: "More views = sell faster." Which that's true if the price is right, but if you put "1,234" and then say you are asking like $8,000, then all they are getting is views.
