Dunno why the downvotes when this is something I experience too.

  Yeah. All of my posts have some flake that is stringing me on but can't set a time to meet. Nearly a quarter of scheduled meets end in no shows. One was after I drove 30 miles to meet someone halfway. I won't meet more than 5 minutes out of my way after that - you want the item you can come get it.

    I got two kids bikes for the price of one and he dropped that one by half because I was the only one to say I was coming and actually show up.

    my last craigslist experiences were similar, they either flaked or they showed up with less cash and said "how about a discount" even after the price was said to be firm. I've said "nope" and walked away from cash sales that try that nonsense. and the whole experience soured me on Craigslist for quite a while. also, around here there are a ton of small businesses that basically flood the listings with whatever they can. it's not even a person selling the stuff, it's a storefront.
