Question for Craigslist Sellers & Wholesalers

Craigslist is one of the many sites I browse on a daily basis looking for potential deals.  Every day I come across properties in my search results that were clearly misposted to obtain more visibility.  The $110,000 house that shows up as $11,000 in the search results.  The price in the search results is actually the down payment. Putting the wrong zipcode that matches a strong market, but not the one your property is located.  Out of state vacation properties.  Buyers looking for leads.  The list goes on and on.

My question is does this type of marketing actually work for you?  I personally flag properties that are marketed this way, and have no desire to do business with people that use these tactics.  If you are willing to mislead me to see your property listing, then I assume you are willing to mislead me in all aspects of the potential deal.

To those of you that use CL (and other sites) properly, thank you for not wasting my time.
