People taking the piss on FB marketplace?

I am giving away a 3 in 1 travel system, with a brand new never used carseat. It was £300 new, used for 5 months before I upgraded to a running pushchair. I posted pictures on Facebook marketplace, a full description and links to the sellers website.

I am not kidding 12 people have asked to have it. They have asked loads of questions, for specific photos (eg can you take a photo with the newborn insert?), arranged pick up dates and then not showed. I am in contact with someone again now and they are asking me to hold it until the 10th Jan for their newborn doll. I just feel like it's taking the piss. I am literally giving away a basically new pushchair in mint condition! I don't get it. I had hoped that it would go to someone in serious need (I was there last year!).

If anyone in london wants a pushchair, bouncing chair and newborn bath. You can have them for free if you can collect before 6th of Jan. After that I'm donating to my local charity 😊

YABU - wind your neck in, the buyer is always right
YANBU - people are cheeky, just donate to your local charity

Please don’t put it outside because it’ll get peed on by digs and rained on. Take it to a charity shop

She isn't able too she said. It will get taken quickly and there is no waiting around.

I feel your pain. I recently tried to sell my daughter's mid sleeper bed on Facebook marketplace and after a bunch of messages that came to nothing, we gave it to a local charity shop who kindly picked it up for us.
