In my experience, speed is all that matters in hustling. especially if you are dealing in a popular item on craigslist like phones, you have to be quick on the draw- be the first to email them, with the best offer and set up the meeting right away. I have had a roughly 25% buy rate if we agree to meet any later than 4 hours after the item was posted. Obviously on higher ticket items this issue becomes less prevalent, but by the time you are dealing in 5 thousand dollar items, hopefully you'll have bought a car by then. Good luck.
