@WNC is wise, and also a great guy.
Check CL often, and be as ready as you can to move quick. Be respectful when you respond, and if it's a fair price, then say so and tell the seller you'll pay cash if it looks as good as the photo. And this might sound weird, but it's worked for me on several occasions: give your phone number. No one has ever called me, but several sellers have mentioned that it is a sign of legitimacy and honesty. I'm pretty sure that by being respectful and straightforward, I've jumped the line on other buyers. Once a seller responds, do your darndest to get over there as quick as possible. And I promise: your patience will eventually be rewarded.

@WNC's sweet pair of reds, your hope would burn brightly! Hang in there.
