I feel your pain.
Craigslist has gone to shit.
When I tried to sell some goods on the SF board, I had to deal with the other kind of problem..pot-smoking / crackhead time wasters. I had 3 separate people "interested" in a sale; not one of them did anything more than talk about the item.
Eventually, I gave up.
I'll give it another shot soon, but I'm not looking forward to the "feedback" I'll get.

That said, why not keep the H22? :dunno:

I've bought some decent shit on craigslist.org but you have to watch out for scammers, they run rampant on that site. But it's a pretty good site to bad there isn't a way to track them all down.

Craig's List is still good, but agree, not like it used to be. It was considered 'grassroots' classifieds.
