Get a new email address specifically for CL. I'm getting all kinds of crazy emails inquiring about my items. If I answer back, they now have my real email address and I get tons of spam!
The following is an email I got after I told him my item was still available:
"Thanks for your reply concerning my inquiry. I am quite comfortable
with the price and condition, I will also add $50 to your asking price
that is for you to hold it for me, Please provide your full name,
Address and your Phone number so that I can send your payment.
I will be paying you by Check. The payment will be mail
as priority express mail which you will receive next day,As for delivery,I will
make arrangements for the pick-up after you have received the payment. If this
meets your approval,kindly get back to me as soon as possible,with your name,
phone # and mailing address where payment will be sent to, so that I
can have my
assistant get the Check and mail it to you.
Note: As soon as you have your money in hand, we can talk about the
picking up of the item. I would like you to take the posting off
craigslist today.
Best Regards.
Mitchell Graye"
