Just bought a plasma cutter for $150. Cuts like crazy up to 1 inch. I am on the computer a lot, so I frequently pop over to CL and search. The way I search is with nothing in the Search Box and hit return. Then I go to Newest First. This reveals almost everything for sale, the newest being only minutes old. I scroll until I see something from the last time I was there.
The Plasma Cutter ad was 13 minutes old. I called, said I would be right there. 15 minutes later, I was loading it. 15 minutes after that, I was home and the listing was already gone. So in less than an hour, something was listed, sold, and removed. Makes me wonder how many things sell just like that and a guy would never know.
Saw a '69 Nova ad less than an hour old. New 505 BB, 5 speed, 12 bolt, all body repair done, lots of new parts, but a basket case needing paint for $5,000. I looked at it and moved on, not a Mopar. It stuck in my head, might not be a Mopar, but it was way under the money, a new BB with receipts alone is worth the asking price. Something to flip. So I went back and it was gone. I asked a couple friends if they saw it... nope.
