I've had stuff like that backfire on me though.
I was selling a Gibson Les Paul Standard at a very reasonable price. Guy calls me up in the morning and tells me he wants it but cant be to my place until 6pm that evening. I basically tell him i only do reservations if you are on your way to pick it up and he starts throwing a tantrum. I eventually relent and he promises to be at my place that evening, 6pm sharp.
Well, wouldn't you know it he calls me up at 5:30 after I turned several others away telling me his meeting is taking longer than expected, and that i should just go ahead and sell it to someone else because he wont be in my area for another week. Frigin unbelievable.
