You are correct.

I had a TV, a TV stand and a reciever for sale in the newsletter at work. Well, I listed them for free at first, I just wanted to get rid of them.

I got dozen e-mails. I cancelled or delayed plans because people were coming "right after work" to take the items off of my hands. Two weeks of a lot of interest and no one actually showing up to take the stuff. I relisted it a week later with a $20 price tag on each item. There were all sold (and picked up) by the end of the day.

The question is, how do you discontinue these relationships where people are taking advantage of you?

My thoughts:

-Don't perform new legal work until people have paid you for old legal work.
-Maybe stop answering the phone for the worst offenders?
