Of course I've been struggling to get bites on this bike, so I'm going to respond.
Those are usually scammers. You can usually spot them by their gmail address and the fact that they never directly mention what you're selling in their initial message ("the item" rather than "your Schwinn," etc.)
They're automated messages but a real person may respond if you reply, it's usually fairly obvious that they're trying to rip you off...
