Gumtree - how long do you give someone?

Posted an ad on Gumtree today. Lots of enquiries about it straight away so just decide to go with the 1st guy. He asked when i was free. Told him i was home now and he can come and get it when suits. Now I've not heard back from him despite all other messages sent and replied within seconds. I know he may be busy etc but there's another 20 odd people asking if it's still available so im sure i could have it gone this evening. Am i just being impatient! Never used Gumtree before so don't know how it really works!

I always post saying first to collect gets the item - at least that way your not waiting around for 1 person.
If you have committed I'd say let me know if your coming in the next hour as I have other people interested and want it gone ASAP. This might help hurry them along and get some commitment .

how long has it been since you messaged him the second time?

Thats coming up for 2 hours. Probably not the best time of day to be messaging if they're getting dinner sorted, coming home from work etc
