BUMMER!!!
I can't count how many CL meet-ups I've had that never happened. I've finally gotten to the point that - as a seller - I will only meet someone when it's convenient for me, i.e if I'm going to be at a business appointment for half a day, they can meet me there any time during that window. If they don't show, no loss for me.
As a buyer, though, you're kind of at their mercy. Sometimes they turn out to be flakes.
Only once was I concerned about a deal that just didn't seem right. I suggested we meet at a certain public place, which was a city hall. What THEY didn't apparently know was that city hall and the police department are in the same building.
I called ahead to tell the dispatcher - a friend - what was going on so she could check the parking lot cameras once in a while. Everything turned out fine, but they seemed awfully nervous the whole time. I'm guessing that they didn't necessarily plan for it to end well for me, but with all the cameras and cop cars around they were wrong!
I suppose it didn't hurt to have an officer drive by, wave at me, and keep going.
