On the other side, I don't want a potentially nutty CL seller or buyer to have my phone number. I have only once called a seller and that's because I REALLY wanted the thing he was selling. I have passed up many things because of this. When I sell things, I ignore buyer emails that say "Hey, call me." No. We will email first, and if I determine you're not a nut, and we set a time for you to come see the item, THEN we will exchange phone numbers.
