I so agree to, if you say you are coming to pick up something BE THERE or at the least call the seller asap to make other plans.

I have only been burned once by a member who sold me a Mag 36 pump with a broken impeller for $120, let me tell you I was ****ed off.

ive had it where i was selling an overflow to a member on here and adresses were exchanged and i was waiting for the money order to ship... then it never came and the person suddenly wouldnt pm me back or anything... how hard is it to say o i dont want that overflow? it was very frusturating

feel a little bad doing it but after a few no shows (even when giving stuff away), unless I know the person, it's first come first served.

It is a little different when you know the person and I do agree to the first come first serve to some extent.

It's like placing a newspaper ad or bargain finder ad, 90% of those who say they'll take it 'for sure' never show up. I guess that's their way of being nice, but it's actually worse as you tell anyone else that it's been sold.

i have nothing that anyone would want but i do agree with the frustrations best thing to do is not let it get to you put the person on your ignore list. its like my customers i had a lady that was locked out of her house i told her on the phone 40$ she says coem open it so i do after the door is opened she says" well thats not worth 40$ all you get is 20 if you dont liek it take me to court...." now what do you say to that the door is open your screwed

all i know is that i will always treat ppl that deal with me with the respect i expect to get back. i give everyone a chance. btw two weeks later the lady had crazy glue in her lock

I hear you there Jeff, all my small jobs I do know for cash are paid up front now. Had a dude that tried to do the same thing that your lady did to you. I just asked him if it would be worth have all his teeth knocked out instead of paying me what was agreed

I got paid
