He responded to my Craigslist ad for an Ikea bed frame (cheap)
His message:
"Thanks for the prompt response i want you to know that am okay with the condition of the item and i will love to make an instant purchase.

I googled his email address and several similar complaints showed up on this site. He is still active.
