So frustrating

[Denim Deb]

That's just it, IF she would try to set up a time and place so I could get them, I'd buy them. But, she's not even doing that! And, I've try repeatedly to do that.

Had a few these in my days. Last month I found a lady selling ducks on CL. I live 10 minutes from her. All I kept getting was do you want them replies. I kept asking. YES, what is your address and are you selling them. Can I have your number. I sent her a google search of who I am ( I served on the schoolboard here) to verify I am not a scammer. Still no reply but Do yoiu want them. ARGH!!! She had no price but said she was moving and needed them gone. I figured mae free with a hutch. WIll never know now.

Set up a deal with another lady for a nice cook stove last summer. Made the deal for silver but never heard back from her as to where we are to meet or her address to pick up. Another CL deal too

I have a few of these every year. O yeah I had one lady who was selling me a pop camper. This is good. Had everything set up. Was paying her an extra 100.00 to deliver it. She lived 1 hr away. Says I know where Deer Isle is. Will be there Sat at 10.00. 4 oclock later she phones and says she got lost and hubby got tired of looking. ARGH!!! She had a cell phone too. Could have called for directions LADY!! Ask her if she needed direction too.

So many unscrupulous and stupid people on CL, but that's the same everywhere. Most garage sales are ok tho. Look for sleds this summer there, or try to catch get-rid-of-winter-supplies sales in March. You're talking about the plastic sleds for sledding? We got a couple a few years ago and use them to move hay and supplies from the workshop to pens. Only when there's snow. Otherwise, our rocky land tears them up.

Well, it might work out Bee, I hope it does for your sake.
I'm in the 'do everything by email' camp, but then I'm young, and I also sit at a desk at work and can get away with doing stuff, but I can't sit and jabber on my phone. I can make a lot of arrangements from my desk. And yes, I respond FAST, LOL.

Either it'll work out, or it wasn't meant to be for some reason!


snapshot - it sounds like the third person that responded to your ad was probably a scammer trying to trick you into something, that is frequently what happens on CL. Cash in hand is my only policy!

Speaking of which, now I have to sell my kitchen table... just made arrangements with a coworker that is moving to buy her table and chairs, and they are like my dream set! For only $50.00! We should be able to sell our table for half of that and it makes it all that much more worth it! I am SO excited!!!

Well, I just got home, and I've heard nothing. I am going to send her one last e-mail and tell her tell me where and when I can meet you. If I don't hear back, I'm not going to pursue this any farther. Then, I'm not going to worry about it. I'd love to be able to get the sleds, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

 

[Denim Deb]

Well, I sent her my last e-mail. I told her that I would not be contacting her again unless she got back to me w/a definite day and time when I could get the sleds. So, we'll see what happens.

 

[MyKidLuvsGreenEgz]

That was last night. Any contact yet?

 

[Denim Deb]

Yep, she finally got back to me. I'll be getting them on Saturday. And, she still hasn't called, just e-mails.

 

[MyKidLuvsGreenEgz]

good. let's hope she's there when you go!
