First response, someone asks me if I’m selling the Miata seats, or the bride. If only there was some sort of header at the top of all Craigslist postings to quickly find the most important information.... One can dream.
And he also refers to the Miata seats as front seats which is TECHNICALLY right I suppose but it sounds weird, no one calls them that.
Then he finishes up by asking if I could transport them, which I clearly stated I could in the ad. Ugh.

People just don’t read. I had a similar situation selling a set of wheels and it was just one huge facepalm.

I wouldn’t deliver without cash in hand after they came to you to buy them... hell, I’d probably charge for delivery - my time and gas isn’t free!

I know the feeling, I’ve been selling/giving away a few things on CL in preparation for my move, and 90% of the e-mails I get are literally just “Do you still have the (thing)?”
Of course I still have it, you imbecile; I put the ad up 10 minutes ago, and I would take it down if it was gone...

That’s a really good idea, hadn’t considered that.

I’ve always felt like giving things away for free led to the worst experiences. It’s like people assume that because they aren’t paying for something, they can come and go as they please, cancel with no notice, and be generally awful “buyers” for whatever strange reason

I know the feeling, I think every car I sold granted me at least 2-3 stupid questions that were answered in the ad.
But, playing the devils advocate here, I would have taken a picture of the Mazda seat alone. If only so you can have a bigger picture of the seat to assess the condition.

While I totally feel your pain you have to be smarter with the ad than they are stupid. Through countless Craigslist transactions I have realized that if there is an opportunity to be stupid, the public will pounce upon it. Making pictures and ads abundantly clear (like you are talking to a 5-year old) seems to really help.

For some time I was involved in the FreeCycle movement, and at first glance it seemed like a good idea. I did have lots of positive experiences, but there were those select few idiots that really got under my skin. My favorite was one woman that said that she would take all 5 of the 17" CRT monitors I had (this was several years ago) and would be over in less than an hour, and so I let everyone else who had inquired that they were all taken. Four hours later she shows up, looks at the monitors and says that she only wants the Sony, and could I take it down to her car. I was on crutches (and answered the door whilst on said crutches) and I lived upstairs. When I said ‘no’ she got all huffy and TOLD me to call one of my neighbors to do it. Umm, ma’am? Kindly fuck off, will you please?..
