Proper Sales Etiquette - Part 2

I was selling a hollow core door on Craigslist. It was purchased in error and as it was a custom size I could not return it.

I list the $100 door for $40. This 'person' messages me about ten times, location, price, when am I home, etc. etc. After about six tries to meet her I give up and say 'the door is on the front porch, if you want it leave the money under the rug'.

I get home that night, the door is gone, and the money is there. Next day I get a snotty message 'you lied, the door was damaged'.

First off, it was a brand new door, maybe it had a scratch in the back side? I honestly never saw any marks.

I reply to tell her
a) if you want to negotiate price then you need to buy from me when I'm home,
b) you took the door and paid for it, don't come back next day with buyers remorse,
c) if you want you $40 back just bring me the door.

Her response was 'I live too far away, it makes no sense for me to return it, you are a terrible person and a liar. That was false advertising'.

Not worth my time or effort. Next door goes int trash...
