This is what he sent me:
"Unfortunately, in the last few months, I have had 5 different items that
people said they "wanted: to bu, that were from out of town or out of
Missouri. So 5 different times I boxed up the different items using of a
fair amount of my good Scotch heavy duty sealing tape on the boxes. Each
trip to the post office was right at 20 miles round trip, find a parking
space, go stand in a long line in the post office, a couple of those
waits were over 30 minutes each, Get the cost of shipping the item,
drive back home, send the "buyers" a message with the cost to ship the
item, and ...... NOTHING. Not a single response back from a single one
of the tire-kicker bastards. But I'm out over 100 miles of driving time
for those five trips to the post office, the wasted gasoline, all the
time waiting in line at the post office, and the time to box up the
items. It is sad that Craigslist and Facebook are becoming more and more
like Ebay (FLEAbay), lots of derelicts with nothing better to do than
waste people's time and money. I will only sell in person, can't afford
to keep dealing with the deadbeats and non buyer's."
