the reseller could have been honest:
"why don't you post it on craigslist?"
"don't want to deal with the scum there."
"mind if i buy it off you and then post it?"
"go ahead, and good luck."

Exactly. Maybe the top-level poster says something like "Oh if you're going to clean it and re-sell it for a profit, I'd rather hold out to see if another coworker actually needs the car, because I also like the warm fuzzy feeling of knowing it's helping them.
"Oh, well what if I told you the $500-1000 I think I can get from taking that work off your hands and re-selling it would really help me out"
"That makes sense. Sold"
See how easy this is without the sleaziness of lying?
