After browsing through the classifieds i found something i was interested in purchasing. my question is what is the proper way to respond to an ad, and what info should i be including in the response? Did a little searching and found plenty of what not to do, but no clear explanation as to what to do, thought this would be the best place to ask, sorry if its not.

All you have to do is PM the seller and say you would like to buy what he's selling if it is still available or you can ask if they would take a lesser amount of money (make an offer) or a trade. After you PM the seller most people post in the sellers ad "PM sent" as a record that you PM the seller in case there is some problem down the road. I'm not sure if that is a rule or not and not everyone posts "PM sent".

When you do buy from the classys, it's a good idea to keep all PM's from the seller until you receive the item just in case the item never arrives. It's proof that you made a deal with the seller.
