Usually Kleinanzeigen is not bad, but be careful and make a picture-search with google.
"He" is trying several times on one day and since months with a fake-account

e.g. with roto-call for 345 €

Be careful out there!

(I am looking for an affordable roto-call since one year...that fits to the birthday of my old-timer)

I’ve pretty much given up on Kleinanzeigen as the stress outweighs the potential benefits. I’m as cautious as the next person, but I’ve successfully been scammed there, as has pretty much everyone I know who buys there frequently. It’s still a source of fantastic bargains but carries too much risk for me.

You must learn (like tennis) to "read" the seller, beause you buy him. 😉


Always had good results the last times there 👍

Sometimes it’s very hard. I’ve probably bought 20-30 things from there over the years and it used to be fairly easy to pick up on the scammers, but they’re getting more sophisticated in what they sell and how they present photographs. I still have friends who stick with it as it’s such a rich vein, but I haven’t bought anything for over a year and the last thing I did was face-to-face.

I've seen 30t2rg for 237€ there ::rimshot::


Jokes aside, when price is suspicious just send a counter offer and wait until they propose PP family and friends. Report and the ad gets deleted since they tried to do business outside of app

I think you have to opt in to this payment system when you sell something, and many don’t. It’s probably a fair tactic for something that’s been listed for a few hours at least, but then (like cheap eBay BIN listings) genuine bargains aren’t around after a few hours. If there’s no price advantage over eBay then I don’t see another advantage to Kleinanzeigen. I’ve had some really nice watches from there over the years, but I’m out.
