When I was giving away my old dishwasher the first person to respond simply said "Let me know where to pick it up." It just came across as being arrogant. There was a second email a few minutes later where the person was polite, and was asking a question. I ended up giving it to that guy.
As it turned out guy #2 was struggling to make ends meet. Their dishwasher had died a year earlier and they couldn't afford to replace it. He was picking up mine as a surprise for his wife.
So unless you don't think your item will sell, may as well screen them. I emailed the 1st guy back and told him I had somebody ahead of him; and still didn't get anything back.
