If you are a buyer, you need to remember the medium you are dealing with. In this case, what you are dealing with is internet based so email is standard unless otherwise stated. If sellers really wanted to deal with phone calls, they would leave their phone number in the ad. When they dont, you are wasting everybodys time by sending an email simply stating you are interested with a phone number saying to call you.
I get this all the time when I list something, I put up a detailed ad with nice pictures and it never fails, people respond with "Im interested in your _______. Call me 123-456-7890." Whats worse is these idiots dont get it because the next day I get a duplicate email from the same people. By the third day, some people are getting the hint and asking any question they may have but more importantly, saying they want to look at what Im selling and asking where I live and when a good time to come is. The only problem is, by the time these chowder heads waste 3 days sending me a phone number instead of setting up a time to see what I am selling, they are so far down the list of real buyers that they dont stand a chance to buy what I got.
If you want to buy things on craigslist, you need to be a good buyer. The best way to be a good buyer is to respond quickly. If you have a question, ask it, dont send a phone number just so you can ask your secret question on the phone, buyers dont have time for that. If you want to look at whats being sold, say that and even give some examples of when you are available to look. For example, if its Monday, tell the seller you are available any day after work except Thursday because you bowl and then tell them when you get done every day.
If you dont want to be a good buyer, you will just end up at the bottom of the pile of the other good buyers. Then your only chance of getting what I have for sale will be if the others decide they dont want it or Im overpriced. In any case, you just gotta wait till I decide when (or if) I feel like taking the time to get back to you.

Today's Featured Article - Upgrading an Oliver Super 55 Electrical System - by Dennis Hawkins. My old Oliver Super 55 has been just sitting and rusting for several years now. I really hate to see a good tractor being treated that way, but not being able to start it without a 30 minute point filing ritual every time contributed to its demise. If it would just start when I turn the key, then I would use it more often. In addition to a bad case of old age, most of the tractor's original electrical system was simply too unreliable to keep. The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
