Default Weird CL replies to Ads.

"I want to pick it up. are you the original owner and is it your final price? actually, I don't reply from cl mail. so, let me know at"

This ad is for bucket seats! WTH?

I also have a Datsun drivers door for sale and got the same type of weird email. They also don't respond to CL emails?

Scam. Move on. Request in your ad all those interested leave a phone number for your reply. Weeds out most scammers.

+2 on scam. CL replies are somewhat safer than replying to their email.
