2. You must be quick - This has happened to all of us, we have found a recent posting that we are very interested In only to find out that it is already spoken for. A good tip to avoid this from happening is ether search through the classifieds earlier in the day or later in the night.

Remember to be quick when you do find something and don't hesitate to say that you will be able to pick it up the next day.

The seller will take you more seriously and will more than likely respond to you first rather than any other inquiries. JH417
