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.

That all said I sold a machine to a lady that said she emailed me 3 times before I didn't delete her email. She kept asking if it was still there. She finally got an original email to me. I look for more than the same title in the email and more content in the email than 'Do you still have it?' 'Is it available?' 'Send me your email address' Yup it takes all kinds.
