Kind of annoyed and I just need to vent a bit.
On wednesday I made plans to meet up with someone local to buy his items. Kept constant communication and seemed genuine at least through emails. So I head out a bit earlier then the time planned just so I don't end up being late. Well the time comes and goes and I end up checking my email. Turns out he cancelled 15 minutes prior to us meeting because of his baby acting up. Which is perfectly fine, I understand family comes first. So I told him ok and we had talked about meeting up on thursday at 5.
Well, I emailed him in the morning asking if we were still meeting up. Nothing....in the meantime I noticed that his ad got deleted. So I emailed again a bit later asking again to see what was going on. Nothing again. Even emailed him again this morning.
I'm guessing that he sold it to someone else which is fine but it just annoys me that he can't just man up and tell me instead of just ignoring me after he had decided to sell to me.

I've been stood up a couple times. Worst is when it's something you really want for a great price. Deals are like dating. Sometimes they give you what you want at the end, sometimes they play games and stand you up. Maybe it's better to just move on and cut your loss rather than stewing too long over it.

Lots of flakey people on Craigslist. Been to some people's houses to buy some games, dirty animals.
