Been there, done that once or twice too.
Since then I have learned to insist on getting their phone number so I can SPEAK to them and confirm as I am driving over and once I arrive.
DO NOT rely on communication via e-mail only!!

I Def Know the Feeling.....
Good Point Kevin. Having as much contact info
as possible is the best bet. I've had the bait and switch, and the last minute excuse, the endless emails. It's all gameplayers. Sad they don't have a life. I had a Super easy experience buying a car over the Net from Austin TX, than I had trying to by a Vintaga Amana Radarange locally. GOOD LUCK Digapony. Hang In/Hang On. We'll all find what we are looking for at some point. Louis | ||

Yes, I will ask for phone numbers from now on for any non-local Craigslist ads. However, I don't think it is intentional game playing for the most part, rather just plain old fashioned stupidity and thoughtlessness. | ||

chalk it up to Lesson Learned!......and from now on you'll be more cautious.....
it falls the same for trying to sell items, you could have waited around all day, and they never show as promised, nor a phone call or email!.... I got news for you, its not just CL or ebay.....we have had a few members do this as well to other members.......and thats as low as you can go in my opinion!...and more than thanks to Robert with this new section, and banning members who pull similar stunts....bad enough with the flakes, but to have them here among us, thats just wrong!.... Been there!.... | ||

the same for trying to sell items.......
...waiting around for that empty promise of "Yeah, I'll come by tomorrow at 5 pm"........
Yes... I have also been THERE and done THAT too!
"If you want to come look at my item tomorrow or the next day, then you call back tomorrow or the next day and I'll give you my address!"
If it's the same day and within 4-5 hours or so, I will give them my address AND ask they call me when they are on their way.
This approach has worked pretty well!
