CL story: We once sold a crappy couch & loveseat for like $20 on CL. It was perfect for a college kid to use for a year or two. We specified "You haul" in the ad. All we had was a car and a minivan.
So someone replies. Our first clue should have been when we had to go back and forth for a week about a time to get it, and it was almost always them being the wishy washy ones. We were totally open. DH was willing to move his lunch to any time of day in order to go home and meet them. Any evening would have been fine. Any weekend. ANY TIME! So they finally set a time. They show up ON FOOT. A guy, a girl, and two kids like 8 and 12. They had walked to our house from wherever they lived like 3/4 mile away. SERIOUSLY?!!!! THIS IS A COUCH AND LOVESEAT! It was dark, and icy, and we lived in a city that was basically built on a big hill so it would have been a steep downhill to their house, to boot.
At that point, we had enough of the back and forth. DH got ticked, somehow shoved the couch in the minivan, hanging out the back but tied up super well...and brought it to their house. Then came back and got the loveseat and brought that, too. He just left both on their snowy front porch. They weren't home yet - they were still walking back from our house!
