"is it still available" I ignore the response.
You may be doing yourself a dis-service - this is the first question I ask as I don't want to waste the sellers time or mine.
Not at all. In my ad I put the following"If you are reading this the item is still available, I will remove the ad once it has been sold". Having sold tons of items on CL , I have experienced every type of weirdo, scam and no-show there is. If you read enough ads you will see other posters doing the same thing.
When I first started posting I was asked that question and I responded by asking them a question, I did not receive a response . The scam now is to ask for your personal phone number or personal e-mail account. Remember, e-mail lists are sold to companies and they will spam your account.
ANY e-mail I get for whatever and I didn't ask for gets spammed, I unsubscribe even though I didn't subscribe and my personal phone number IS NOT an identification number for any store or business. Plus, I have to resort to not answering my phone if I do not have the number in my contact list because some jerk sold it to a contractor web site .
What we have experienced with our land lines is now happening with our cell phones. Telemarketing hasn't given up.
Having said all of that I have experienced a bunch of smooth transactions selling tons of stuff.
