Shitty people / shitty things people do

so as some of you may remember, my daughter last week totaled a car she and my son shared. He was going to take it to college next week.
I've been looking online, including cl. So today I found this posting with a nice deal on a 2007 Jetta. LINK
Call the guy, he's in the quarter, I'm on the northshore. Talk to my son about it and he wants to get it, so I call him back and tell him we're on our way.
I get 2 miles from the end of the bridge and the guy calls me and says he just sold it. Says someone came over cash in hand. Well no shite, we were too. 2 hours and $20-$25 bucks down the train.
NCSB
ETA: and on top of that, y'all know my son is on dialysis, so we give him 4 hour treatments 6 days a week. That means he gets a "skip day" once a week. Normally that is a Friday or Sat so he can go do stuff. Well because of the timing involved we decided we'd do his "skip day" today. Now he's gonna get stuck doing it this weekend. Just shitty all around.
People, bruh.

It sucks, but the guy doesn't know you and just wants the car sold. A bird in hand.

Maybe they had more cash.

I would have done the same thing. There's never a guarantee. I've had plenty of buyers "on their way" never show up.

That is a shitty thing for her to do.

I know it sucks, but cash in hand in front of you will always trump 'we're on the way with cash'.

That was pretty shitty of her but I am glad she is ok!

sucks but can't really fault the guy
Posted on 8/7/14 at 3:53 pm to Meauxjeaux
Nothing shitty about that. I wouldn't trust that you were coming either. Like someone above said "A bird in the hand."
Posted on 8/7/14 at 3:54 pm to Meauxjeaux
Sorry about your son. Prayers sent.

That's the risk you take as a buyer. I've had many no shows when trying to sell things on craigslist. It can bite you in the arse if you hold out for one person that backs out later when another person can come by sooner.
Then again I have never sold something as expensive as a car. I may have waited for you.

Utilize the skip day. Go to bourbon, hooker, blow. Dialysis tomorrow.

Y'all will find something better for him

You have his address? Then go to the bookstore pull out every bingo (magazine subscription)card you can get, check bill me later with his address on them mail them in. Alt lifestyle mags are the best, those mailing lists are so small the magazine company sells the shite out of those lists & once your on that list you will never get off. Sorry about the asshat typical for Craigslist people.

It absolutely sucks for you and your son and I'm sorry you had to deal with that.
But seller did the smart thing for him. Safe to say he didn't know your situation?

Sucks dude, but there have been countless times that you trust someone's word from a sh*thole like Craigslist and you get burned.
We had 2T of flagstone we were trying to get rid of and 3 (!!!) separate people called and said "we're on our way!! PLease hold it" and of course those a'holes never showed up so I can see the reasoning.
Hopefully you'll find someone else (and maybe better) for him.
