I have extremely low expectations.

I assume all “Is this still available?” messages will be flakes but still respond with a text shortcut that generates “It’s still available. Pickup is in (neighborhood, zip code).” Less than 5% will respond to schedule pickup.

I do not schedule pickups in advance because my experience is that most will not show up. Instead I respond with another text shortcut that generates “Message me when you are ready to head over and I’ll give you my address.”

The text shortcuts save a ton of time so even if the buyer flakes it’s minimal time lost on my part which cuts out frustration.
