Not a single legitimate offer though.

"Cash only"

Store the frs in the wagon.

Yea, that doesn't stop the calls, at least not in my experience.

Nope. And saying "reasonable offer" doesn't stop the "Will you take $1.95 and some McDonalds coupons?"

Don't think it is a wagon.
I have now received 14 emails. Most are a waste of time but have two very interested and a couple of others that want to see it first. It is now literally half the price of any other 14s in the area and people still want it for much less.
Now I remember why I have traded in my last 5 cars!

I guess its the same in every country.. I remember I got maybe more than 30 calls one day when I decreased the price. I had to literally close the phone to one guy's face. He didn't stop talking nonsense. He talked, talked, talked.. I remember he was saying: "Your car has 280km/h written on the speedometer. I prefer it written 300!"

Oh, I don't put a phone number. They have to be able to figure out email. Lets me simply ignore anyone not serious.

Yep. I just have the email as well. There are a couple that asked me to call but I suspect they are the bot responses and will try to sell/scam me as soon as I call. Will do it just out of curiosity though.

Yeah we are salaried. If we work an extra day we get a full day rate though even if we show up for 5 minutes or 14hrs.

Interesting. When I worked for a "rather large" airline in Atlanta, the pilots were non-exempt. That's been over a decade ago though, I wonder if that has changed since then?

Yea, I don't any more, but the last time I did this was literally over a decade ago.

I think airlines still pay hourly with a minimum guaranteed hours but I'm not sure. I fly private jets so I'm in the 135 world not 121. (Even our scheduled stuff is scheduled 135)

If you do call, register a Google voice number and call from that to save yourself some headache later. Not.... that I've ever done such a thing.
