Why waste your time, if you have no intention of ever buying?
I put a Li-ion golf cart on here and sold it in a day for $20,000. I put an unused e-bike on here, paying plenty to have the photo posted here, and got no contacts except from scam artists. That said, I paid $50 to have it prominently advertised on Facebook, and all the contacts were from out of The Villages, and no one has bought it. Hard to say what will work.
