Strange classified responses

I've been buying and selling gear on Audiogon for 15 years as needed.  Recently I posted a great all in one Simaudio ACE for sale and I've received some of the same inexplicable inquiries repeatedly.   I've never seen this before and I'm curious if this is a common problem on the boards now.  

All responses are from recently created accounts, with zero feedback and ask variations of "why are you selling?"   

Is is this a common phenomenon or SPAM?   I always answer politely and honsetly but the fact that I'm replacing an all in one for separates has never even kindled a conversation.  

Strange days indeed!

E-Bay sucks for sellers, they charge 10% fee when sold and 10% fee on shipping costs. I have an AVR  listed there, and on other sites, and so far, like the OP, a parade of tire kickers  and low ballers with very strange questions.  

So it's not the OP, but its the state of the market place and the very soft resale of audio gear.
