I am being held hostage. Please help me.

I have sold things via the internet in the past. That'd include a near $10,000 motorbike and significantly greater value gold coins. The price to be paid, method of payment, place of payment was agreed beforehand. If they deviated from this I would never deal with them again and would leave factual bad feedback. In this case I'd respectfully suggest the fault is partly yours. Lock in a potential buyer to a specific time and place.

The postmen or express couriers are always like that, you're lucky enough if they tell you the day. That's quite inconsiderate of his, he could have at least told the time of the day, more or less, so you can be free for a few hours.

I'd sure wouldn't do that again.

I had someone offer me a price for a TV and never responded. -_- Hope you went on a swim!

I tend to trust and believe they will show up and am often disappointed. I hope the person shows.

I won't spoil my plans for a 'might'. If it was a definite 'I'll be there'. then I might consider it.

Similar things have happened , yes.

When I ran the animal shelter on my property @TheHorse , it was by appointment only. Some of those yabi-hoobers would show up whenever they felt like it instead. And then after me waiting for 3 or 4 hours they would show up and then not adopt an animal. Grrrrrrrrr

It's annoying isn't it? And people that don't keep appointments are annoying too.

Waiting for someone and have to cancel some plans always have those

I wonder why he couldn't just say a time or even a little time period. I hate waiting for people like that.

By your title I thought you were really held hostage. Tied to a chair in some basement with the lights off, being interrogated. Glad it wasn't the case.

Yes, all the time. But i stopped that this year. No more waiting bs

Did he ever show or contact you?

I hate it when this happens. I say, you just go to the pool and chug your six-pack.

Get a piece of paper, write down where the guy can reach you IF/WHEN he comes and go to the pool.

I can't abide rude people like that. It's so frustrating waiting. I posted an item for sale on a local on line yard sale and a woman messaged me that she was interested. When I asked when she wanted to see it, she said she was just kidding. I told her she needed to get a life.

Who took this photo?

I've had that happen to me when the cable people had to come over. They never say exactly when they will come. Just give you a big time frame and you have to be home all that time waiting for them to arrive. And enough times they arrive right toward the end of the said time frame. You could have been getting other things done or just having fun outdoors somewhere. Instead, you sit home like an idiot, waiting and waiting and waiting... I've also had it happen when some people agreed to meet up with hubby and I. They said they would come soon. We waited and waited and they showed up many hours later. Didn't even give us a head up they will be held up. That really upset me... Could have been doing other stuff. Instead sat there and waited...

No, might is not an answer. Its either give me a time or don`t come.
