I would have responded in Spanish. Or Portuguese or French or really really really broken Icelandic. Or, you know, English since they knew enough English to write the Craigslist ad.
OK, so I am narrow minded. That is nothing new. Ya wanna deal with me, speak moderately comprehensible American English.
No habla english, no deal with me.
Capice?
In fact, if ya wanna put ads on craigslist, listing a phone number as a contact, ANSWER THE PHONE! If you are only near the phone at certain times, SAY SO! Then BE THERE! Don't expect me to leave a message on your voice mail, and don't expect me to send a text message. In spite of what some seem to think, not everybody texts!

Feel any better now that you have vented on the internet? It is just craigslist, move on with your life...

Since you described the box as "just the kind I have been looking for", I guess you showed him, eh?

Hmm
Someone busy at work and couldn't answer. Someone driving and they don't have Bluetooth in their car. Someone taking a shower. Someone with a baby they were feeding/ changing a diaper. Someone taking a dump and thought it might be rude to answer while doing so.

They should have thought of that and put the times of showers, bathroom breaks, and child feeding/diaper changing in the ad!!!! Maybe they should have hired a secretary to handle calls when they were busy!
How dare they not have regular business hours when selling their stuff through craigs list!
