I had a generator for sale on CL a couple of weeks ago. I priced it competitively so it would sell. As soon as I had a buyer and deposit on it I removed the ad. I'm still getting emails on the damned thing, and I deleted the ad a good 10 days ago. I don't respond to these people, even as a courtesy, as I don't want my email address out there. I can only suspect that there is a means to cache the ads and go back and look at them, as I know the ad was deleted and there are no signs of it on CL. Dan

(can't expect people to pull down an ad they know will expire automatically, even if we think they should.) i know i've been first in line to items off of CL, and when i got there the seller already had a stack of e-mails from other people he hadn't responded to because he knew i was on the way,... or, they may have had enough response they decided they weren't asking enough for it, and/or decided to keep it. ;-) cheers! e On 28/Jun/10 19:29, Kaleb C.
