They show a warehouse of Arcade games but no picture of the Street Fighter 2 cab they had listed. I showed I was interested and wanted to see it if I could see some proof that it existed (it also would be a 2.5 hour drive for me). He/She gets back to me saying sorry the Street Fighter 2 Cab was already sold yet it is still listed on the add, turns out craigslist posters can be every bit as stupid as the ones who reply to them.

I always suggest moving as quick as possible on a craigslist post. When someone asks me to do anything, I don't bother replying. I just wait for the next person. The assumption I make is the person making the request isn't interested in buying it, just window shopping.

It sounds like it worked out in your favor this time, good for you.

What Mal said. There was more than enough information to make a determination.

I understand the 2.5 hour drive, but you should realize that the seller doesn't need to care about that. What makes sense to you doesn't need to make sense to them.

^^^Yup.

4 spelling mistakes in a 2 sentence reply probably didn't make a great impression either.
