Wanted to buy some items from a CL seller, 30-miles one way. Traffic time of day, told him I was serious and gave him my cell# and asked twice for him to call if anything changes and that I was on my way. I arrive, an 8-9 year old girl answers the door and tells me her daddy is not here and the items were sold. I say can I talk to your Mommy? (in a kind manner). She says no one is home. OK it's on, obviousley the weenie had no sack and had his poor little daughter do his dirty work. So I tell her, go tell your daddy that the man is calling the police because I'm too little to be here alone. She comes back and shut the door and I heard the lock click. My new rules are seller delivers. I explain I am honest and if the item is as stated I will buy it. No delivery, no deal.

That sucks, dirtclod! My mistake as a seller is that I have held items for a buyer who said he's serious only to have him flake out. I'm too nice and will try to contact the seller to inform him that if I don't hear from him the item will be sold to the next person who is ready to buy now. I try to state in my CL ad that I will not hold item for anyone, but end up usually doing so because the interested buyer says he can only come on this day or that day. I rarely will deliver but on occassion have done so under the condition that buyer is obligated to buy and there is a gas charge.

Djork. I guess I'm jaded by so many shady people. I'm sure if I see a Command post or something I really want I will loosen the noose, (hypocrite) But very carefully.

I once delivered a fridge for a sweet little old lady. She showed up, haggled me down on the price and managed to talk me into delivering. I'm a softie for little old grandma's. I get there and her son's all came pileing out of the house to grab it. NOTE there were trucks in the driveway. Efin Skank.
