Can't remember exact price and ad has disappeared

I'm new to astromart so maybe I'm missing something obvious, but here's the situation. I responded to an ad with an offer to buy. There was a delay of a few days then I got a message saying the item was mine. I was instructed to mail a check to the person while he is out of town and unreachable for about a week. No problem except I don't remember the exact price and I can no longer find the ad. Apparently it was deleted or expired but it doesn't show up when I search the ad archives either.The ad # was 257075. Any tips?

Thanks

Unless Herb can dig it up it likely is gone. I would put a letter in the mail to this fellow along with an email explaining your situation. That way when he returns home expecting to see your check he is not upset with you. Any of us would understand, I am sure he will too and allow you another chance to get him the payment.

Many people print the ad once they have a deal to refer back to. You will want to do that in the future.

Good luck,

Kent

I believe that ads remain on the Anacortes server for a short timeframe (weeks?), even if the seller has deleted. I've had this situation happen to me a few times ... but doing a search of the seller's name under User Ratings produces a link showing that I've responded to the ad and can leave feedback. Clicking on the link brings me to the original ad ...

Give it a try.
