I am getting rid of a bunch of junk so I posted a washer and dryer for free. I had a call almost immediately. The person takes old washer and dryers, fixes them up and sells them for cheap or donates them to needy family's. They will get them Saturday, and would like the ad removed NOW. This is all well and good until Saturday at 1 comes around and I am sitting there waiting and no one shows. SUCK
So I e-mail them to see whats up, and re-list. I don't hear back, but on Sunday someone else e-mails, and they will get them Monday after work. Sounds great. Till guess what? Monday after work they don't show! Go figure, now I'm 0 for 2 trying to give something away.
Tuesday I get contacted by a third person who tells me they want them, and will pick them up on Thursday. Just after I set that up, person #1 e-mails again with a story about van trouble, and being in the hospital, and they want to pick up today. I don't want to give them to them any more, but if they are gone today that's better than tomorrow in my book. And if their story is legit, I like the idea that they are doing this to help people.
Grrr, no shows make me
