While I've never bought anything on it, I have sold a few things, and all to great buyers.
I am very trusting and believe that most people are honest and nice. Friends ask, "Aren't you afraid to let strangers into your home?" And the answer is, "No, not really." I guess because I've always had good luck with strangers.
I still won't sleep in a house alone. I read In Cold Blood while in high school and that ruined it for me. But having people come into my home? No problem.
Last week I met Ari and Rich, two really nice guys who came to look at the sofa I am trying to sell. Since I re-arranged my furniture a few months ago, my sofa now blocks the entrance to my son's room. If you know of anyone who is looking for a sleek, modern Ralph Lauren sectional (it's 108 inches by 108) in great condition, let me know.
And this week Vincent (an adorable, young and married Parisian) came over. He bought my barely used Bose Wave 1 Music System.
I was asking $275 and we negotiated for $240.
When Vincent arrived, I said, "Would you like to hear it?" His response? "No, I trust you."
He handed me cash; I packed up the Bose; we talked awhile; and he left.
