had a buyer confirm a 7pm pickup for the dresser and then just vanished.
no text, no cancellation, nothing.
I’d already dragged it by the front door so the handoff would be quick, and now it’s just sitting there in the hallway like a monument to my own optimism.
this is the third one this month. people message right away, ask three follow-up questions about scratches and drawer alignment, agree on a time, and then go dark the second it’s actually time to drive over.
I get it, life happens. but a quick message takes 10 seconds.
the annoying part is I turn down other people asking about the same piece once someone’s confirmed, so a no-show means I lose both. meanwhile I’ve still got four boxes and a bookshelf left before the lease is up, and every night I tell myself I’ll stop scrolling the listings app before bed and somehow it’s 1am and I’ve rewritten this same post 3 times.
anyway. dresser’s still in the hallway if anyone local wants it tonight!
