Good to hear; it's nice when you can actually buy something from a seller.
I messaged the seller a couple of hours ago saying I have the money agreed upon and can come over right away to buy the bike. I'm betting the bike was sold already or he has me blocked.
It would almost be a miracle if he responded saying the bike wasn't sold yet. That's the level of faith I have in Kijiji sellers; it really is a gamble buying from there.
* EDIT *
Just messaged 7 people. So far only one got back to me saying that they could indeed meet to sell the bike but that they'd be away for three days. Chances are that someone has offered to buy the bike for the original price and wants to pick it up in three days, and the seller wants to keep me as a backup.
I'll buy any of the seven bikes if someone wants to sell them.
