Is it still available?

I hate this question…10 minutes after I post a for sale ad, I get someone who asks, “is it still available?”

Maybe it’s because nobody removes their old ads? If you’re going to ask that question, then give me a little more info. Tell me that you’d actually like to purchase the item and give me your phone number. I’ll e-mail these people back and they never get back to me…why bother if you don’t want it? Seems like at least one person every day no-shows. No call, never shows up, doesn’t e-mail me and doesn’t respond to my e-mails. That’s why I keep my ads up and wait till it actually sells, a lot of times I have 2 or 3 people who say they are coming for the same item, but only one person ever shows up, if anyone does.
