Default Give the Seller a Break

I recently listed 4 pictures for sale, and rec'd 2 - 3 private messages from a person who was interested in buying them. Their last PM was that they would think about it. On Thursday, my phone rang, & it was someone interested in buying my pictures. We set up a time, I gave directions to my house, & they showed up an hour later & purchased 3 of them. They only gave me their first names & it wasn't until they arrived that I asked him if he had PM me. He said he wasn't sure, but might have. I don't believe he was the same person who private messaged me, and I feel that you can often get inquiries via phone, email, or PM about your items for sale, and not really know who is going to show up at your door first to purchase them. People are reluctant to give their full names, and the seller may have thought he was talking to the same person when he wasn't.
