A few years back I listed an item on craigslist for free. It was an engine hoist without a hydraulic cylinder. I figured car stuff, what could go wrong? Stated emphatically in the ad whoever got there 1st had it; I would not hold it for anyone based on a phone call.
Guy calls an hour or so after the ad went up saying he'd be there to pick it up the next day. I reminded him of the verbiage in the ad stating I would not hold. "OK, no problem." Someone else came to get it the same day I posted.
Next day the 1st guy calls to tell me he's on his way. I tell him it's gone and he has an absolute fit. I tried to reason with him to no avail. He finally hung up on me after calling me names. A year later on the same day, he calls to tell me I'm still a #%&$*@ jerk, and hangs up. A year later again he does the same thing! By then I figured out how to block phone numbers and that stopped the calls.
