About two years ago I was selling some books. I listed them on kijiji and there was nobody interested for close to two weeks. Suddenly I got a response. The person was willing to pay asking price but couldn't make it for another week. I agreed to hold them. Suddenly I had two other people interested and I told them "Sorry, I have an agreement to sell, I'll let you know if pickup falls through". 5 days pass and I messaged the person to see when they wanted to come. Crickets chirped. 2 more days and I message again, and this time I checked out the person's profile. They were selling the exact same set of books. I assume they wanted me to have my listing spoken for so theirs would sell first!
The two other prospective buyers never responded to me when I went back to them. I tried again last summer and then I wound up recycling them when nobody wanted them.
