I do the same. I have an 80-90% success rate for selling on CR and I get very few uninterested party's responding. The easiest ones to eliminate are the ones that don't ask anything about the item but say " What's the lowest you will take". My $175 treadmill that I was asking $175 got that response and I emailed back $174.95. I sold it 2 days later for $175. I try to price my items very fair.

I read a lot of email responses that I just delete.A lot look like they were written by a third grader,or if they studied real hard they could become a third grader.If I advertise something for $100.and the response I get is,tak twunny?that does not get an answer.Sometimes I will have something for sale that will attract a whole herd of idiots.I had a snowplow blade for sale,it was a pretty nice desirable blade.It is made to fit small-mid size trucks.I had a couple of people that wanted me to load it up,bring it to a parking lot somewhere,so they could have a look at it.It also brought out a half dozen other nutty questions.I sold it yesterday morning to a normal type of guy,he called me,he came down and looked,paid for it,and I loaded it into his truck with the Bobcat,and he drove off.
