Yeah for sure! I learned this lesson giving stuff away on Craigslist. Never ever list anything as free. I did once, my phone stopped working because I was getting too many text messages.
"Can you hold X for me"
"I have to drive a hour I need a guarantee it's there"
"Put that aside Im 5 minutes away"
me: No. heres the address. First come first serve. I don't give a fuck who or what you are.
It was so funny too. We had a TV, well over 30 people asked to either hold it, or test that it works, or send more pics. No. Come get it.
After about an hour it was one of the last pieces to go, and some tiny dude rolled up in his scrap truck and took it to pieces, presumably for precious metals, and left the case on the road. It was a working TV and despite the interest it got torn to peices. I learned a lesson that day.
