i was giving away lots of baby and toddler clothes on a local Facebook group. Lots of interest, and I was messaging with one particular lady to arrange collection of some of them. We agreed 6pm. I got a message just before 6pm to say they were just setting off and would be there in 15 mins. I replied that was all good. About 10 mins later I got another message to say “would you mind leaving them somewhere discreet out the front and I will come and collect them later?” I assumed there must have been some kind of hold up and said of course and put them out the front.
5ish minutes later there the doorbell rings. I open the door and it’s a delivery driver with a parcel for us. The bags of clothes have already gone. Lady messages to say she’s picked them up and thanks me.
I was so bemused, because she’d arrived at the time arranged but for some reason clearly really wanted to avoid us actually meeting.
What was that about? An anxiety thing?
I was wondering if it was because she was actually planning to flog it all on Vinted or something (which is supposed to be against the rules of the group I was advertising on). But how would us meeting give me any sense of that?
Genuinely curious to know what others think was going on here. I suppose I could ask her, but that would seem odd somehow….
It’s a shame because I always enjoy the brief interactions that come with these kind of exchanges!
