Stopped meeting buyers at my house after the $20 lamp guy showed up at 11 PM
Used to do porch pickups for anything under $30. Figured it was fine, low stakes. Then last month I sold a lamp for $20 to this dude named Carl. He texted at 9:42 PM asking if he could swing by 'right now'. I said sure, whatever. At 11:05 PM he's knocking on my back door. Not the front, the back. I opened it and he just stood there holding the lamp and staring past me into my kitchen. Said he wanted to 'check the bulb socket' before paying. I handed him the lamp through the door crack and told him to test it on the porch. He paid in crumpled singles and left. Took me 20 minutes to stop shaking. Now I meet everyone at the 7-Eleven parking lot on Main St. during daylight. Has anyone else had a buyer get creepy about the actual house location?

Yikes, back door at 11 PM is a whole different vibe. Parking lot meets are the way, no shame in that.
