Contacting a non-responsive Craigslist seller

For those who do a lot of Craigslist buying....wanted some thoughts here. How often do you have non-responsive sellers? In particular, there are a number of listings in the Seattle area that get posted over and over, that I have sent mail on, and have never received a response. Usually for hard-to-find stuff for well under value. They never have a contact number posted or anything. They also never have a local location listed. One in particular is an older Hogwarts Castle where the seller has dropped the price from $250, to $200, to $150. I can't get them to respond. So is this just normal, or some sort of scam that I can't figure out?
