Hello,
First off, I appreciate your response to my feedback on your ad. I have interest in purchasing the rims. I would have loved to come and pick them up personally but at this point in time, I cannot possibly make any trip as I am looking after a ill son. However, since I have seen its picture on the web and also its state of condition, I think I will be proceeding with this purchase (in good faith).
Cash wouldn't have been a problem if I'm not tied up here but I hope check works fine with you, let me know - once it clears, I will make arrangement for how to have the rims picked up from you. If it (check) work with you, you can forward me the name and address to issue it out to.
Thanks very much and hope to hear from you soon.
Best Regards,
Sarah.

I long ago stopped allowing potential buyers to reach me via email when selling on Craigslist. The amount of bogus bull**** email is outrageous. You can opt not to allow email communication, and instead simply post a number for interested parties to call.

If it wasnt for stupid people who trying to attempt this fraud and their idiotic ways of going about it, there would be a lot more fraud. About every fraud attempt on craigslist with my ads, there is some type play emotion--marriage, mission, traveling, ill family member.
I can spot fraud a mile away. I have had at least 25 attempts with my vacation rental business in the past year and they are mostly have 4 things in common---poor english, poor spelling, unlikely events, and too much information.

No problems here selling a couple of cars and sometimes show/event tickets on Craigslist. Maybe since Craig started it here there aren't as many problems since it's such a local resource?
And buying, everyone I've dealt with has been straight. 5-6 cars over the past 7-8 years (forget when it was actually started), and lots of tickets and misc. items.

Then they can visit you when they reverse search your phone number.
I protect what little privacy I have left by never giving out my phone numbers to strangers.
STRANGER DANGER!!
