Facebook yard sale sites

Anyone use the yard sale sites on Facebook? In Midland Michigan we've got a lot of them.
I just posted a bunch of NES games & consoles. So far it's been an awful experience. First of all I don't mind guys trying to super lowball me on my stuff. I get it; you want to make a fortune on my stuff. I Understand that. What i don't like are how they insult me & say I'm ridiculous & stuff like that. My prices are pretty close to the video game pricing guide, but I'd accept a little less. I figured if you want it & not have to pay shipping it would be a good deal. These guys are upset that I won't let them resell my stuff for profit. There's several of these guys that make wanted posts looking for video games. They're obviously looking to buy super cheap & resell. What I'm wondering is if these guys are actually ever even successful in buying stuff. I mean they're offering me less then what the game store in my neighborhood will. With the Internet everyone can see what something sells for. Are they expecting to find little old ladies who are cleaning out their sons closets or something?
The other big problem are the time wasters. I think some people just get an emotional high by saying they're going to buy something even though they have no intention of following through. It sounds moronic, but I can't else understand what it is. Maybe they're like me when I was a kid. I would hide in the backyard & scream for the Ice Cream man to stop his truck. When he would stop & look around me and my broke friends would laugh.
