I am supposed to go check out a bike found via Craig's List. I emailed the buyer a bit and set up a time for tomorrow. Then later I get another email addressed to me and another buyer, asking both of us to come at the same time since we "both are really interested."
WTF. I suppose if I am really interested I will have to be 20 minutes early and try to scoop the other dude.
Sometimes CL is a major pain in the ass. If I have something to sell off, and it's easily packable, I'll use ebay even though I generally loathe ebay these days just so I don't have to deal with CL buyers.

Chances are the other buyer won't even show.
Good luck and I hear ya about ebay. Neither of those two sites are operating very well an online marketplace resource.

The "someone else" turned out to be someone just out of high school and his mother. The first thing the mother said was, "We'll take it!" Then she turned to me and said, "Ha ha, beat you to it!"

(28,552 posts).. how is it craiglist's fault you came across a douchebag seller. I've bought and sold a ton of crap on CL and I've had no real negative experiences.
If I were you I'd simply wait for another bike to come along, people want to play games let them play with themselves.
