katyanne2605 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Hi AllHaving been let down twice in the last few days by people arranging to come and see some items I am selling (this morning was particularly annoying as I had to get kids up and around early in preparation), can I suggest that we have a thread that warns others of these time wasters? Or am I being too harsh... thoughts?Katy Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/172714-people-to-avoid-on-this-forum/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Poste's Child Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Sorry, sounds unpleasant to me and out of proportion! Better to PM the individuals and tell them directly - there might be a reasonable explanation and you never know what people are dealing with.

nxjen Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Very irritating I?m sure but really? Should such a thread start, I suspect it would be quickly deleted by Admin. I would hope so anyway.

rendelharris Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I ask for a 'phone number in case anything prevents me from being in at the appointed time, and will text a couple of hours beforehand to check they're still coming - haven't had a blowout yet!

JohnL Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 it'll be like those dating forums where time wasters are listed. oooh errr.if you never trust anyone you'll never get let down (in this case that means don't bother to go out of your way for anybody - let them fit around you) :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/172714-people-to-avoid-on-this-forum/#findComment-1191452 Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuff Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I always try to get a mobile number so I can confirm a collection, I've been giving a lot of free stuff away on here recently. However more than 50% just don't reply to messages or turn up, the people that do though are usually great but it has really put me off.I've even had nasty messages from someone after saving something for them and then them vanishing for days on end, not replying to messages until I tell them I've had to give it to someone else.It just isn't worth it.
