Sorry you missed out Jeannine! I have a Malibu Pilates chair collecting dust & I’d be happy to gift it to you if I lived closer!
I think some sale sites and apps have rules about who gets first dibs on an item, while others are a first come basis. I don’t know about Craig’s List. As a seller it is tough if you get inundated with potential buyers. I done a lot of selling through the VarageSale app and the rules say the first person who messages you about the item has a certain amount of time (I believe it’s 12 hours) to contact you and set up a firm meet time. If they don’t then you can move on to the next person. They are quite strict about it. VarageSale has a feedback system for sellers & buyers so it’s in one’s best interest to do things by the book. It often operates on an honor system, I’ve left things by the back door with a container for $ and done the opposite when I’ve picked things up. Never had an issue.

So sorry that happened! But fwiw at least the seller let you know. I had a similar circumstance where the seller couldn't be bothered to let me know; then took forever to respond to my text confirming my appointment with her. (At which point she finally said, "Oh it's not available any more".)
