Ditto what Cecilia S. wrote. If you write a positive with out intending to insult, it's easier for most to accept. Then of course you may also get the rude and ignorant reply and life goes on.

Thanks Cecilia, I think that's a great start for me.
I would agree that I should be in the don't bother camp. But then where else do I find sewing machines? Here is someone that just posted not 5 minutes ago. http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/art/4044246306.html I wish that was just an outlier, but it's the norm here.
UGH! drives me crazy.

I have an antique booth and occasionally sell my leftovers on e-bay. I have received messages from people correcting me as to what the item is and I truly appreciate their help as long as they are polite. However, I've never received a letter stating that I'm overpriced. But then, I start all my auctions at a very low price as my goal on these items is just to get rid of them. I have had messages asking if this doesn't sell for your price, would you consider posting at a $xx.xx (lower than original post) as I am short on money right now but would love to have this item. If it doesn't sell and it's doable, I accept. If not, I explain that I have more money in the item and can't sell it for that. But then I usually make a counter offer. If it works out, I repost and make a sale.
Having said all of that, if I received a polite and respectful letter explaining that I was extremely overpriced, I might be offended at first, but then I would probably do a little more research and determine if they are correct or not and adjust accordingly.
Hope that helps!!

There's enough in here to fill another 10 pages of "what are they smoking" pages.
