People sure are flaky - or maybe I'm impatient

I decided this weekend to unload the kids' fort/swingset/slide/picnic table. Was going to clean it up, paint it and sell it. Instead, I took the lazy approach. Told people if they were willing to disassemble it and haul it away, they could have it. It just needs to be cleaned up and painted or water sealed and a few minor repairs.
Got a gazillion people interested. Waiting to hear back from the first two. I sent them pictures of the bolts so they'd know what tools to bring. But if they don't respond pretty soon, I'm going to move on to persons three and four.
If i don't hear by tomorrow, I'm going to assume they're flaky as I haven't heard anything since yesterday. or maybe I'm being impatient...

It is easier to get interested than to actually do the job. I hope your interested people come.

You can give them a deadline to decide so other interested people will have a chance.

People are lazy. It probably looks like a daunting task to take apart, move and reassemble. Since you mentioned wood sealer, I'm guessing it's one of those honking big wooden things and not one of these plastic things, and probably the people who answered thought so, too.
