This is some really good advice. Deserves to be repeated. Also look for spelling/grammatical errors and the tone implied in the ad or any dealings gone bad. If they aren't concerned about spelling they may not be concerned about the transaction and your satisfaction either. The few bad deals (out of 150+)I have had were preventable if I would have looked harder at the spelling and tone of the seller. I proceeded because I thought I was getting a deal. A bad deal is not a deal. I am sure there are some poor spellers out there that are OK, but be cautious.
