I'm figuring this Craigs list thing out...people figure out what is desirable, and then post a photo with an outrageous price on it...when you respond to their ad, BINGO! They have your email addy for all that lovely spam they like to send!
:-D :-D There could be some truth to what you say. The reason I am laughing is cuz, I ain't writing to those who way out of price range for me and/or their machine.
There was a machine that I did email to the other day that had a gorgeous cabinet with a Singer 301A. Never heard back from them and then the ad was gone. I didn't think about the spam thingie but I did suspect that that machine was not listed to sell. Weird.
Most, 90%, of my machines come from CL, our van, etc. We bought and sold all of our cows through CL... now we are cowless though. LOL It's kinda the old saying 'a few rotten apples can spoil the others. But, I think you might be right. Lately, many emails have never had a reply, not even to say it is sold. And my spam folder has had more entries in it. So glad I have a great spam catcher. :-D
