        Me: no, sorry I just sold it to someone else.
        Them: I’ll come pick it up in half an hour.

        To be fair, this one is common on Facebook because it’s the stupid top auto reply thing that is way too easy to fat finger when browsing listings

          That doesn’t explain why people have done it on Craigslist since before Facebook existed, where they have to open an email client, type it out, and send it.

            Because they assume that the seller is not The Perfect Human and remembers removing the ad once they’ve sold the thing?

        I add this to my listings

        “If the post is still up, the item is still available. I will remove the post as soon as it is no longer available. If you message me and ask me if it’s available, I will block you.”

        And then I block them.
