Default Timewasters

I dont know about anyone else but im getting sick to death of timewasters that say they are intrested in what ever your selling and never get back to you, or ask you to put something on hold and change their mind.

Im saying this because i gave someone first refusal on a gecko i decided to sell and they said they wanted it but couldnt pick up untill the 1st of march due to money issues. I reluctantly agreed and told him that id get in touch closer to the time to arrange a time on the 1st as i work shifts and it changes.
So i pm them saying are you still ok for the 1st and can you do between 10 -4 only to get a reply say im going to have to give it a miss as ive just brought some day geckos and now havent got the room.

So i held it for 2 weeks ( i know i should have asked for a deposit, but i thought i was helping the guy out as he was skint at the time) only to be let down by an apparantly skint person who has enough money for a few day geckos!

Sorry about the long thread im just ing sick of people doing this!

Funnily enough, someone from here used that exact phrase with me before they changed their mind. Wonder if it's the same person.

I agree there's no need to mess people about, I for one live by 'treat others as you would like to be treated yourself', mostly it works but you always get the exception to the rule that give the rest of us a bad name, they need a good kick up the
