I think you maybe a cyber stalker :)

There are many names for what I do; one of them is "keeper of Travis' integrity".

I just take knowing what the competition is doing to a new level.

It's possible they had already sold the item before you called or emailed them and they just hadn't taken the ad off yet.

I replied to him an hour after the ad was posted. That was 3 days ago, the ad is still up, and I still haven't heard from him.

Also, it doesn't take much to reply to an email and say, "sorry it's gone already.'

Most everybody I've ever dealt with off CL has been pretty decent. Most are on time or within a few minutes of being so.

Same here.   It's just those few bad ones you remember.

I never take people inside the house, but will let them into the garage.

When I meet people away from the shop, it's always in a parking lot during business hours.. I don't like strange people knowing where I live. I'm sure nothing will ever happen, but still.. You just never know.

That must have been one valuable sale item to wait 3 hours!

I wait 15 minutes max (at my storage facility) and then head home. If they show up they sometimes tell the manager they're "looking for the guy with the gizmo for sale" at which time the manager calls me and I either return (from 1 mile away) or ask to speak to the 'buyer' and tell him to come to a location 6 blocks away from me.

Yes, I have a GOOD storage facility helper team !

I'm exaggerating a bit but really you get these people who like string you along. YOu dont leave cuz they say theyre only 5 minutes away tehn you call them again still only 5 minutes away.

I recenntly sold a car on cl. Guy calls me says hes comming out, I got stuff to do errands to run but says he'll be over in an hour lives by ohare, cool come on over. Hour goes by, I figure I wont pester the guy I'll give him another 15 or 20. Call him, oh so sorry he's running late, had to borrow a car blah blah blah. Another hour goes by call him hey I'm not waiting around all day you comming? Yeah I'm only 13 miles away. Some more time passes call him up, I'm not waiting any longer I'm leaving got stuff to do, oh no dont leave I'm 5 minutes away. 20 minutes later he hsows up, low balls me, we finally come to an agreedupon price very good deal for him Im jus so sick of dealing with flakes and assclownns like this guy I wanna get the sale done. he says let me run to the bank, runs to the bank never comes back never calls.

And I call it knowledge; you know what they say about knowledge. Well, maybe you don't.  ;D

Yup, "if you think education is expensive, try ignorance."
