Since there is a similar thread for Ebay people,I figure I'd share a CL story or two.
A few years back I had two nice,rust free,original paint '76 Cutlass doors sitting around. I put an ad on CL with a few pics,also telling what years the doors would fit. A steal for $100 for both IMO A lady calls and asks if she can come "Right now" and look at them. It was about 10 AM,and she lived 30 or so miles away. I tell her "No,sorry, I work 3rd shift and I was just heading off to bed. I can show you from 7-9 PM or 7-10 AM,or anytime on the weekend. She then asks if she can come on her lunch hour,at about 2PM! I told her "No,I JUST went over this!" I learned years ago NOT to alter my schedule or sleep for no show CL dopes. She calls again about a week later,a weekday,same conversation. ![]() About 2 weeks later she calls a third time,same deal,wants to come "Right now". Figuring she called 3 times,maybe she's serious about buying them. I told her to come over,but she would have to deal with my wife,as I'll be sleeping. My wife has a soft spot in her heart for the dumb,so things should go fine. When I woke up later I asked my wife how it went. The buyer came over,took a look at the doors,and said "These won't fit my car!". My wife asked what kind of car it was that she owned- "A '98 Cutlass". Then she claimed that I TOLD her my doors would fit her car. My wife called BS. She left pissed off.
