Stabbing someone in person is much more different than the Duke Nukem experiences you're accustomed to. First, you'd have to stop hermitting and step outside. Then, after your eyes adjust to the sunlight, you'd have to weild that butterknife with your weakly arms. If you're still able to rise to your feet after I've put my boot to your head a few times, I'd put you back down so you scrape the bubblegum off my shoe, just so you can get some use out of your tools.

Then you can put that up on craigslist, so I can reply with some stupid offers.

That's asking too much.
 
OK I need help figuring this one out...

I email a craigslist ad saying I'm interested in the bike, asking price is reasonable, is it still available, tell me details, yadda yadda yadda.

No reply.

I send another email with tel no. to insist that I'm serious.

Nothing.

So I figure the bike is sold but the guy can't be bothered to pull the ad, it happens. But now I go and have another look at the ad, and he's gone and reduced the price!!!

WT f'n F!?!?!?! No emails in my spam filter, nothing.

Sometimes there are other contact methods. Just bought a trailer off Kijiji. E-mailed - no answer. Against better judgment I called (using works phone) got an answer and arranged a meet, and came to an agreement. Paid cash, little nervous about that but sometimes you just have to have some faith that not everyone is out to get you.

As for the Low ballers and bad grammar, have a nice day! I'll wait for someone who can speak/type a coherent sentence and knows the value of what they are bartering on.
 
No, no phone number. He even says "Please email for more info" (not that there's any other option)!

I was just thinking, maybe all his replies are being filtered by his junk mail filter. That would explain the lowered price!

That happened to me. Lady down the road from me was selling 2 old tablesaws for $50. I replied to the ad 3 times with my phone #, and didn't get a response. About a week later she called to tell me I missed out, and she just sold them. Turns out she had replied to my first 2 emails, and they went into my junk folder for some reason. Only time kijiji emails have gone there instead of my inbox.

Now I check both folders just in case. I much prefer a phone # though, it's just quicker and easier if you can get over the initial fear of talking to a real live human being on the phone......
