Ernest, I've been in that situation as well. When I bought my truck, I fired off an email, we fired email back and forth, got the guys number, called, we talked, I agreed to make the ~ hour drive to see the truck, got there, he said someone local offered to buy it and he told em to wait since I was coming up.
He also said I was the only one who actually followed up after he fired an email back.
