I'm really new not only to trying to get a machine but also Craig's List. The address listed in the ads which is <some wacky combination of characters>@ Craigslist.org is the address you use to email people right? Only reason I ask is because I must have sent out 50 messages only asking of machines were still available for the most part and not offers and not one person has responded. I know I am connected to the net obviously and I use Hotmail so it cant be a mail problem (well unlikely anyway) especially since I got other messages in the meantime.
Does anyone have any tips for dealing with people via CL? I hate to make offers because from what I have seen about 90% of people are delusional when it comes to pricing. In a few instances a few days ago I tried to mention various sales of their machines and what people paid but some folks are still insisting their broken Ghosts and Goblins is worth $500 which a few of you guys emailed me was pretty silly to ask for. I don't want to take advantage of anyone but I'm not gonna be a sucker either.
Thanks for all your help by the way to the people kind enough to send responses to my amateur questions it has been really helpful! This is a terrific resource and I'm having fun at least!
