When you find a "buy" you need to be in your car, cash in hand, getting directions as you drive there to get it. If you're not the first one there it'll be gone.

I agree but I always tell em cash. I got a deal last week, spotted an amp right after the guy posted it. It was a good 60 miles from me so I called him to ask if he would hold it for me as I didn't relish driving the distance to find it gone. He said he'd give me 2 hours and then it was open again. I left immeadiatly, while I was there playing it his phone never stopped ringing. I bought the
amp for $100 dollars and sold it 4 days later for $300.
