A man answered the ad, came here and looked through several of the bags, seemed nice and gave me the money.
I get a rude e-mail telling me he wants his money back tomorrow because he should have looked through it better and it's garbage that he can't make anything out of. I specified it was yardage and scraps and he looked at it here.... I told him I'd refund his money IF I was home tomorrow but I'm not waiting around for him.
Now I'm worried he'll vandalize my house or whatever. It really is a very good idea to meet people so they don't know where you live. :< And now I have to deal with all this over $25. So not worth it!
I bet he took stuff out of the box! And I would not refund the money. He came and looked at it. And knew exactly what he was buying. No way would I refund him!
And yes, you are right about meeting them in a public place so they don't know where you live.
