I think you are right! And why do residents have to make things more difficult than they really are? We have enough rules here in The Villages!!!

I have posted items for sale and have always put my phone number in the body of the ad.
I have NEVER received a strange phone call that wasn't related to the item, and NEVER have I ever received a call that was of a scam type variety.
Why is the TOTV classified section any different that an ad in The Sun? You put your phone number in their ad.

If you have an ad in and are single, simply have someone be with you when someone comes to see the item.

Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill. It's really quite simply folks. Put your phone number in the damn ad!
