I mean ****, lest email an tell me to go jump off a cliff or something, or a "Hey not interested, but thanks!"..buncha buttheads! This an all the posts above are why I just scrap most the stuff I get unless I can help someone on here, or by spreading the word locally. Spreading the word seems to work best for me, I get more sales by telling my network what I have at the time, an my current prices. Now an then I get a bite, an if not..off it goes!
There's a chance the reason for this is Craigslist itself. Peoples email gets blocked(without notice) by CL for several reasons, and they might not even realize it. Mine got this treatment once because I'd emailed through my own ad to see if messages were even working, so my emails were seen as spamming or some such crud, and it took me several months of digging and searching to figure that one out. No email was coming through from CL to my addy. It took 90 days(which turned in to 6 months or more) of inactivity on my CL account for it to get reset(they won't help ya there either ; )
I'm just saying that guys email may be getting the same treatment for some reason that he is not aware of
