Anyone know if he is a member here?

Was emailing back and forth with him this past weekend and he said he wanted $600 and then stopped responding or was not answering the questions asked. 

Seems like he is not really interested in selling anything, but then why post???

Maybe the wife is nagging him to thin the herd.   He answers "I've had the stuff on CL for months and nobody wants to buy it".

I said a while back that when he kicks and his wife hauls it all down to Goodwill, I'll be there waiting.

He has got to be the worst seller i have ever dealt with.

He replied to the first email fairly quick. I didn't reply back so can't say much. I do know that list looks exactly the same now as it did way back during the summer. Does make you wonder what his deal is. Raynist, keep let us know if you're able to work out a deal with him.

He hasn't responded to me since Saturday, I got irritated by the way he was responding (or not responding) and sent him a nasty email.  No responses since :)

I can't quite figure out his deal, but guess he has something of a hoarder mentality, is slightly greedy/wants absolute top dollar and is emotionally attached to his giant stash.

I've had a deal banged out twice on one of his items -price hashed out, meeting place, day-, but when the fateful day comes, he doesn;t answer his phone or respond to emails.  It is totally aggravating, yet I'll likely give it one more shot here in the future... I'm a glutton for punishment!
