Sell on CraigsList? How do you communicate with buyers?

Thanks, y'all. I signed up for Google Voice after checking Walmart for cheap phones/cell service; not having to carry a second phone and avoiding another monthly expense looks pretty good. I think I'll be comfortable with Voice and craigslist's anonymous e-mail.

I sold a 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis last week on CL. I'd listed it once before a few months ago and got a bunch of BS emails and a few loser people calling me and pulled the ad down for a few months before re-listing it.

I pulled the ad and then re-listed it about a week ago. I had a guy emailing me from 2 hours away and said he wished I was closer. When I told him I would be willing to meet him halfway if he were seriously interested he stopped responding.

I'm going to be using Autotrader rather than CraigsList for the next car sale. Especially since CraigsList is now charging to place a car ad.

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Yeah, it did cost me $5 for the ad. What does Autotrader cost?
