If you tell me to show up at 6pm, and I do, I don't expect someone to be loading the item into the back of their truck. At least have the decency to let me know that you are selling it out from under me and not to show up to our arranged time before I leave the house.
Sorry about the imaginative cursing,
Haltz

i think most people deal with a lot of no shows. they probably should have called you if they had your number, but they were probably ecstatic that one person showed up at all.
Edit: I am disappointed this isn't about masturbating into tornadoes

Yup. I had so many no shows on craigslist that I finally took most of my stuff to a company to sell for me on ebay (usually for more than I offer it on craigslist). They can have the 35% if I don't have to keep emailing and calling people who don't show up. I've gotten a check for every item which has been sold and they have good communication.
http://www.cardinalauctions.com/ if you're wondering. No I don't get commission for that, I just appreciate their service and the complete lack of hassle I've dealt with.

When Beck was in town, I had a late addition to our group, so I needed to pick up another ticket. First guy agreed to sell it to me, and a few hours later (mind you this is the day of) emails me saying he wants another 15 bucks. I thought that was sleazy. The next chick says "The ticket is yours", but then ignores my calls and emails until an hour before the show. I had to get the ticket from a scalper for more than face value - but only 5 more than the first ass wanted, I guess. Anyway, craigslist pisses me off.
