If I list something, I check all the responses I get - even the ones that ask 'do you still have the item.' There are lazy people out there that sell something and don't remove the ad. Most people wouldn't change the title - I'm guessing - unless they do an awful lot of buying off of Craigslist. Most people would just do a reply to the ad. I do a reply, ask for their phone number, location, and put in my phone # and location. I am always very polite. I usually get responses. I have several machines I bought off of Craigslist. It is the ones that don't put a phone number that seem to ignore e-mails.

Nancy when I get a response from CL and it has the same title as my ad, I ignore it. Those are usually sent back as spam. I look for a different title and a phone number or I ignore the email. If the email says 'do you still have the item?' I ignore the email. If the ad says 'I want to buy your item' I ignore the email.
This is what I routinely do for my own personal info when writing to a craigslist ad. I usually don't call first, even if they have a number, I prefer to not take up their time by calling until I find out some info. Then, in my email I copy/edit their Title which includes city, then copy/edit their ad text and then form my questions. 99% of the time I get responses. I do this so "I" know which request is concerning which ad since I do inquire sometimes to more than one ad/in more than one city. I only had one recently that never put their phone number in, I wrote, no response from them. I wrote again, no response... again. Then, 3 days later they replaced their exact same ad, no phone number and they did not respond to two more emails from me. THAT was frustrating for 2 reasons: 1) they left no other way to contact them 2)DH and I reallllllly wanted that machine! My conclusion was that 'they' were fishing, either for email addresses OR to test the market response. |
Hi Charlee....was wondering where you wandered off to!! I thought maybe you got lost in an antique mall somewhere! LOL
