I both buy and sell on Craigs list a good bit and while I make no claim to being an expert I can help some of you a little bit with your CL problems. As for unanswered replies, I sell on three accounts and three different emails on three servers and about 75% of the replies I get to my Craigs list ads through their reply service are caught by the spam blockers and set to the blocked emails file. Why part of them and not all or none I dont know but I have to check those folders before deleting them. If the sellers don't know this they are missing your replies. Sometimes I will place my email addy right in the ad and state do not reply through Craigs list yet you would be surprised how many people cant read or follow simple instructions. If the seller doesn't know this his is not seeing your replies.
Before anyone judges sellers too harshly I hope they would list a few things on CL themselves. The absolute stupidity of some of the replies is amazing. Also time wasters have certain traits that are quickly learned and if the sorting process causes the seller to lose a real buyer thats a problem too. Some replies will get your email deep sixed by most experienced sellers such as; Short emails with no introduction and not signing your name, ones that ask no questions but want cheapest price etc. I am no expert in the English language, writing it or speaking it but I often get emails like this;
Lowest price?
Thats it,two words, no name, no nutten. Send me one of these and you'll get no answer. If you want to be taken seriously at least take the time to say; Hi, I like your hay rake but the price is a bit high for me, are you firm?
Thank you, Bubba
Just sayen the the problem goes both ways, bad sellers and time waster replies.
