Whenever I sell anything online that needs a visit by a prospective buyer the "I'll be by to see it sometime today" will never work for me. I always give them a 1hr window of their choice during my availability time and say "if you're not here between x and x I am going out." I won't wait more than an hour unless the prospective buyer calls me with a short delay for a logical reason. My favorite response to an item for sale is "is it still available" and I reply "yes" and 8 out of 10 times they are never heard from again. Why ask ? If someone is REALLY interested they will get there fast because "hold it for me, I def want it" will NEVER work for me unless they send me 50% payment up front electronically like by PayPal "Friend" (not reversible) or Zell or Cash App.
