Marketplace Has Its Deplorables
Have had a fair share of trouble selling items through Marketplace in recent months.
Have had the scammers, and "buyers" who have change their minds on going through with the purchase after all arrangements made, but not advising of such.

Got a 2008 Forester SUV for sale at just over $9000.

The Subaru Forester with a low mileage of 148000km, a tow bar, many features and in good to great condition all round is still available.
