Eventually getting around to selling a few baby items on gumtree/marketplace. Prams, cots etc. One woman was interested in one of the items, she wanted it for less than I had advertised it, I offered a small discount and she agreed to it. Originally said she'd pick it up on a certain day, I said that was fine, let me know what time. Didn't hear back, messaged her the evening before, she said she couldn't do that day anymore, said she'd come a different day, I replied that day didn't suit me and gave options of a couple of other dates/times. No response, so I sent another message saying I'd appreciate if she could confirm as I had others interested if she didn't want it any more. No response. Why bother offering on an item and then wasting everyone's time?
Had a response from someone else, said I was waiting for original person to get back to me, but I would let her know if she didn't take it. Then she sent through a message saying she was busy in work but would sent a courier, so obviously a scam. Not a very expensive item, under £100.
What on earth? Is it not possible for people to just offer on items they actually want and then arrange to actually pick them up and pay for them?
