Ignorant or shy?
I was interested in a Bluetooth speaker from a chap so he gave me his no. online for me to go and collect. I called and left a message but he didn't call back. I called him again later and he said "Oh I didn't want to call you back because someone made me an offer and it's sold." I was also selling some cd's last week and the chap texted to say he would come on Monday-no show. I text him again, he apologises and says can I make it Wednesday-again no show!
Aside from the odd client who says they'll pay their deposit and you never hear from them again I just wonder if anything like this has happened to you?

It’s par for the course when you’re buying and selling stuff via gumtree etc. I don’t bother chasing people if they don’t reply and they get once chance for collecting unless they have a good reason to cancel and keep me updated.

I buy and sell fairly regularly so I'm never really surprised when people don't respond or don't turn up.
I very recently was interested in buy some second hand bits. I sent the guy an email, no response. Tried calling no response, then he pops up on Facebook offering the parts so I respond... Still no response haha, some people!
Majority of people are good though to be fair. The plonkers that bid on stuff via eBay then try and get discount when they collect are the real jokers! I don't mind a bit of haggling but that just takes the biscuit!

About 10 years ago I was selling waterproof jackets on ebay, they lived a couple of miles away so I got on my bike and delivered it within an hour. Mainly because I thought they'd be super impressed at the speed haha... They were!
