Issues have been more with people responding to an ad with interest, and then not responding after I respond to them.. Strange, they want it, I respond that I still have it, and they don't respond again.
Yep, people change their minds and sometimes they want it RIGHT NOW and if you can't meet them because of other obligations...sale goes south.

I got a call on Monday from a guy who said he would be in my town on Wednesday about 11 a.m. I told him to call me from about 30 miles out and we would firm up the meeting.
I went to run errands and when I got home he had called at 9 a.m. saying he was at my storage facility waiting for me.
Since I use my home phone for these transactions and I trust people to do what they say they are going to do, it has backfired on me a few times, but I don't use my cell phone that much and I don't want to be tied into having it on all the time and fooling with it. There is always another buyer somewhere down the line.

Another time a guy called frantic to get an item. But when I called him 10 minutes later the call went to a voice mail and I never heard back from him...TEN MINUTES LATER. Then I called him again about one hour later...he answered and said he had already gotten one though it had cost him $50 more than I was asking for mine.
cList buyers include a bunch of crazies, but the good one outnumber the bad.
