And when the second buyer guy called the seller after you, the seller should have said 'I have a buyer coming at 3, I will call you if he doesn't buy it'.

Buyers on Craigslist are flakey, my ads are clear 'first one with cash buys it'. No 'holds', cash talks.

'Show up at 3 if you want to, car might be here, or it might be sold'.

Your comment above in bold font does not compute.

In the OP's post, the seller said he wouldn't be home until 3pm:

How would the buyer know someone WOULD come over before 3pm....and how come the seller WAS home before 3pm.

That's the effed up part.
