I've gotten 3 bikes off of CL... the last being the Romic for $60 - I was the 3rd person to email about it -- but the first to make arrangements to show up. It was posted without photos -- one of the first two people wanted photos -- the other wanted precise measurements -- I wanted to come see it -- guess which was easier for the seller? I knew had it not been my size I still would have bought it (I know at least one forum member who wants one).

Make your contact email very polite AND include a cell phone number where they can reach you and make it clear that you'll come see the bike quickly. While you're making arrangements to "come tomorrow" I'm at their house ready to ride off with my new prize.
