OfferUp - SICK OF PEOPLE WHO DONT SHOW UP
Dude I thought i was the only one who waited for hours and the seller wouldnt show up. I wanted to buy 2 Disney tickets from a woman (probably illegal in US) in Orlando.
Her name is Maraline. We arranged a meeting to verify the tickets. I was at the venue at 3 and started to wait. I informed her that I was already at the venue.
She emailed back saying that traffic is horrible and she would be there at 3 40. I emailed back saying i could wait, I have time. At 4 45 I was still waiting outside under 100 degrees in Orlando. I emailed her again and told her to let me know if she was not coming.
AND her email is `sorry i cant make it, Im still in traffic` Dude are you kidding me, why dont you tell me before. Why did you wait for my last email to tell me. I`m sure that she didnt even leave her house.
She wanted to scam me but it didnt go through. I already filed a police report against her.

How did you file i was scammed out of 450 today. Im so pissed right now.
I cant believe i fell for it.
I have been in the buying and selling business for a long time but every since I've tried offer up can someone keep gives me an offer on my product I just got stood up today she offered me half of what I had the price then I want her to meet a certain place and she said please can we meet over here I have to work soon so I told her okay that would be fine I showed up at 3:30 and she said I'll be there in about 3 minutes person never showed up never email me back here it is about 4:30 and she still has not emailed me back for now on if someone wants to buy something from me they're coming close to where I live and if they don't like it then go buy a product somewhere else I'm going to keep on using this site offer up I know it's not their fault it's the jerks out there that say they want to buy something and I think they change their mind and they don't show up anytime I tell someone I'm going to buy something I show up and I buy it
No shows are rampant on this site. Super annoying.
I only ever meet or should I say attempt to meet the buyer right near my house. Just about every item I have ever listed has had someone reach out to me claiming they want it and we arrange to meet and they don't show. If they even bother to respond when I ask what's going on, they have some lame excuse that their Godmother's mailman's ex-wife's step brother's cat died and they'll hit me back after the funeral and never ever do.
I've had others say they 'bought a different one' which would make sense if the item in question wasn't rather rare. I feel like there must be a reason these folks spend time reaching out to sellers claiming interest in an item they have no intention of buying but I can't for the life of me figure out what it would be.
