Recently, my fiance tried to buy a chair off of someone on c-list, she was really back and forth with it about when and where for days, wouldn't answer him, give him her phone number, and they would decide on a day (twice) and he'd wait to hear from her and never did. Finally, after promising they'd do it on a Friday, she emails him on the Monday after asking if he could pay more! Because she knows someone who said they would (literally) give her $5 more than what her and him agreed on him paying. We said forget it and didn't respond any more.<br /><br />When I picked up my vintage Cosco step stool, I emailed the person and they didn't respond for a while, thinking I'd missed out (the listing was posted over a week before I sent an email, but was still there, I thought it was worth a shot), and gave them my phone number. A lady responded saying she had been out of town, but that someone else before had arrangements to meet on a Sunday night. So Sunday came and I waited around all ready to go, stalking my email and phone, and finally got the call to come get it, but she did tell me she had THREE other people behind me! So I was glad I was rearing to go. I got there to pick it up in a record time of 12 minutes after hanging up the phone! :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-84568033405578108742012-05-02T23:42:26.532-05:002012-05-02T23:42:26.532-05:00I am so glad I don't live in STL; you guys mak...I am so glad I don't live in STL; you guys make all the scores!bopfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04880708937891972273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-73057162640578296212012-05-02T20:22:27.497-05:002012-05-02T20:22:27.497-05:00Sold!

The sellers never gave both of us an address and a time to meet (I've heard of this being done intentionally and for reasons I'm sure you can guess). The email I got would have lead me to believe I was the only buyer "in the running" if I hadn't already heard from Nick and I'm sure his read likewise to him. But obviously neither read like a done deal.Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-51690426845859975852012-05-02T16:51:46.434-05:002012-05-02T16:51:46.434-05:00Hi OMM.

It's not at all unusual for a seller to contact multiple potential buyers but this seller seemed to let us both believe we each were going to be the buyer.

There are too many people on CL who make promises they have no intentions of keeping, especially if they think they can get a better offer. Glad it worked out for you...but AtomicHipster is right. What if you hadn't been friends? One of you would have made a trip for nothing, and that's not right.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-12811448284951911312012-05-02T11:25:24.874-05:002012-05-02T11:25:24.874-05:00Great find.

I thought I had found a gem (Kent Coffey set) hidden in the background of a photo but was severely disappointed when I finally got a reply saying that it was sold. I worked him for more information on how much he sold the set for and was sick to my stomach to find out that he sold the bed (headboard and frame), dresser, highboy and matching end tables for $200. I initially thought I had a great shot at the set because it wasn't even listed on C-List with his other items. After finding out it was sold and what it went for I even tried to get the buyers info so I could snag it back for a bit more than they paid. No such luck.OH MY MODhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520517344293493019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-56010753452802633962012-05-02T11:01:09.624-05:002012-05-02T11:01:09.624-05:00Dang, I saw it too but you guys must have already ...Dang, I saw it too but you guys must have already gotten it because I never got a reply.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131788345117405918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-82591735611672612902012-05-02T10:38:39.433-05:002012-05-02T10:38:39.433-05:00Jealous!Jealous!Rachelhttp://www.twitter.com/ohhoenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-83214562598172597252012-05-02T09:06:46.063-05:002012-05-02T09:06:46.063-05:00Way to double team!

I'd say that 90% of the people that I get who say they're definitely going to come pick up an item never show, so it's always good to have at least one buyer waiting.nickarmadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800334075532515276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-92049099098306263932012-05-02T06:54:37.031-05:002012-05-02T06:54:37.031-05:00Hi Chris, did you ever ask the sellers why they se...Hi Chris, did you ever ask the sellers why they sent both of you e-mails.what if you hadnt known Nick as a friend.
