Hey there!

There's a pretty strong chance that the item has already been purchased. Many times, sellers will forget to remove the ad once the item has been bought and will simply delete all other emails that come in for a particular item. Rule of thumb is to wait three business days for a response. If you receive nothing by then, you might want to move on to your next option. Hope this helps!

Either the items have already been sold or for some other reason the sellers don't want to deal with you. Craigslist is only a facilitator -- it can't force sellers to deal with you.
