So, this Facebook Marketplace ad pops up. Clutier, Iowa. 1950 Chevy, sitting 19 years, under 4k miles, minimal rust, $5k. Cool, it's an hour from me, so 5 hours after the listing, I contact the seller that I'd like to see it.
Thursday, Me-" how about this afternoon? ".
Her- "Yes, I'll meet you at 6pm"
I get to the farm and no one there.
Her- "oh, I'm delayed until 7pm".
Me- "Ok, I'll wait".
1845- Her-"I got stuck and can't make it".
Me- "Ok, I'll try tomorrow morning".
Friday, 0745- Her- "I can't make it today".
Me- "Ok, I'm free Sat-Sun so let's hook up. Please don't sell it without me seeing it".
Her- "I won't, you have first shot at seeing it".
Sat 0900- Me- "I'm free all weekend, can I come see it?"
Her- No answer. No answer.
12:00- I see it's shown as sold. WTF!?
Obviously, someone offered her more, sight unseen and I got a royal [censored]. 3 hours of driving and I get [censored]. Jeezus, Marketplace just sucks!
