Yea, there is one that ruins everything. Hopefully you'll never run into another like this one.
The biggest problems for me are when I'm selling and mostly it's aggravating not devastating.
1. I don't give my address in the ad (that's like saying here's what you'll find at this address come steal it). But I know people want to know if it's North or south of town as that can be 20 miles difference and with gas prices... So especially on low priced items I give a major intersection 1/2 mile from me but some people seem unable to handle anything but a street address so they call to get that and then say it's too far. 2. They seem excited about the item get my actual address and ask when they can come by--but for some reason it feels more like when will you be away--then they say they'll call me back tomorrow or something never to be heard from again. I always say I'm in and out--just give me a call before you head this way to make sure I'm home. 3. The ones that say they'll come out at X time and never show. 4. The ones that call about really cheap items and want to ask a thousand questions. 5. The ones that call about a big higher dollar item that needs to be seen to be appreciated and the very first thing they ask is what's the lowest you'll take.
But for all the problems many just show up, hand over the asking price and are overjoyed.
Buying can be good too. I have to figure they might not want to haggle and sometimes I don't even ask if they'll take less. Just yesterday I went to pick up 2 rugs for free. Someone had done a no show on the fellow before me. He was moving and cleaning out a storage building. He just started giving me stuff. I got several somewhat valuable antiques as well! Recently I purchased a bunch of lawn equipment from some folks that were moving. She said if she found anything else that went with it she'd call me. Yea, right. :) She did!!! Brought me about $100 worth of stuff--she lived quite a distance away and I'd have gladly driven back for them but she insisted on bringing it into town and I met her at a Walmart.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
