lol "what's your lowest price?" My answer is always, "well, what's your highest price?" People are such a-holes.

The bike I just listed here was actually sold on Craigslist. I responded to his wanted ad a few days back. He sent me an email that he would be here, he was, and the bike was in his truck within 5 minutes, and cash was in my hand. Pretty painless.

Most of those are bots just checking to see if there's a live person at your email address.

Put a line in your ad like this: "Include your favorite ice cream/cartoon/venereal disease in the email subject line so I know you're not a spam bot."

Then you'll know, at a glance, which emails are worth responding to.

In reply to calteg:

I read an ad on CL that asked for "banana" to be included in the email. This was near the bottom of a long ad which included "if you've read this far down you must be serious about buying my car"

Most sensible, level headed as I've ever read on CL.
