human nature...
still, might be well worth it (in certain locations).
It may be worth $200 but craiglist isnt an auction site. Should we flag his ad into oblivion.

I've been on the other side. Offered a bike at a fair price, and have the potential buyer tell me he'll pay full price if I hold it a few days. I honor the first come, first served principle, only to have the buyer either flake out on me without notice, or come and offer me half of what I'm asking.
It's the craigslist dance. Makes life interesting.
I've been on that side as well but at least I did some research first. I put a mid-80's C-dale on CL Friday night for $225 with my customary built-in $25 haggle amount. I sold it to the first caller. He showed up, didnt even want to test ride it, handed me $200 and left, all within 3 minutes. What it came down to was that $200 was what I'd was happy getting and I got it. I didnt jack the price up $50 becasue my phone rang right away.
