    If the user clicks on your screen name, it takes them to a private message section where the two or more of you can send messages that no one else would see.  There is an inbox icon in the upper right next to the star that will show if you get a PM.

    And by putting your email in the post like you did above, allows anyone to see it, not just approved members of this group.

    You might want to edit your post and remove it before your email inbox starts exploding with spam.

    @Darnell, each seller is a little different.  Some prefer that you reach out to them via Private Message, others ask that you simply reply to their sale ad using the "Leave a Comment" section below the posting.  Still others list an email address and/or phone number.  

    I sent you a private message that you will find helpful.

    To increase your chance of connecting I would do the following:

    1.  Bookmark the sale ads that you are interested in by clicking the star in the corner of the discussion.  You will receive a notification when there is participation on that sale ad.

    2.  Offer the seller an email address that you can discard if necessary.

    Communicating (FYI: Place an @ just before a member's username to notify them of a comment.)

    To Contact a member via Private Message (PM) (Same for Desktop and phone views)

    1. Tap "Inbox" icon (bottom of the screen for phones, top right screen for Desktop), then tap "New Message".
    2. Tap the "Recipients" box and start to type the member's username. Select the member from the popup list.

    To Contact a member via their Wall  (Not Private) (Same for Desktop and phone views)

    1. Click on the recipient's username to access their Activity page / message box.
    2. Type a message in the large box labeled Activity. Click Share.
    3. The message and replies are displayed on the recipient's wall and publically viewable in the Activity area.

    Let us know if we can help.  Also, be aware that many sellers are equally as new to the forum and do not know how to reply to or check messages, so best to call or email them if that is what they want.
