What about people who post "I'll take it" when they're on the other side of the state? I don't think it was on this forum, but I've posted stuff for sale on other sites and ended up getting replies from people expecting me to hold it for them for 1 or 2 weeks until they get here to pick it up, get the money together, etc., even when the ad specified local only.
It's not reasonable to expect a seller to wait for you to get your stuff together to complete the deal.
I won't post "I'll take it" unless I have the cash and am willing to travel to wherever it is within a few days at the most, and if that's still not fast enough for the seller, I don't get mad if they choose to sell to someone else instead.
I've had too many flakes and crackheads waste my time because they either don't read the ad or don't care.
