I sell on CL too. Miriam is right. I often get emails that just say, "Is item still available?" I answered one once and I am still getting Spam from it. I had to put this in my ad because the scams and spam got so bad. "Don't ask if it is still available or for me to join something to get your number to call you. You will be treated as SPAM and will be deleted. If you see the ad it is available." Pretty much the same thing. CL ads bring out the worst in some people. If they ask, I just delete them now. If they are a serious buyer, I would hope that they would read the entire ad.
