So this may be a rant. But why is it when you put a ad on craigslist WITH a phone number. You get these folks that email YOU their phone number and asks you to call them????
I posted up some parts and I get this please call XXX-#### I'd like to come check them out today! Why not just dial the phone number I left on the ad? I just dont want to seem desperate, so I just dont call back. Jim

Try to be more like this guy, Jim. :D

Sign of the times. IF they can't call free...... It's all about call Me!!!!!!!! Maybe I am 'ol school,,, Cause, If I see a part on this site that I am interested in,,,,,,,,, I really don't give a damn what the call cost is. I"ll call anyway. MY 2 cents worth!!!!!!!!!

It seems now, the first respones is a spammer, usually that cannot spell.

i just put an add on CL-what a mistake, spammers-one guy did call, left a massage, dont know what country he was from, could not understand him-i may go in and rem my email
and phone #, let them go thru CL # if i can fig it out

I use email rather than the phone because I can't understand what people are saying on the phone plus people don't answer anyway and you get their voice mail.

Oh, another reason is email doesn't leave my phone number on the caller I.D.
I use a separate special email address for the unknown weirdo sellers and buyers to remain anonymous.
