What the heck is up with  asking to meet to buy items? I posted an item for sale on KINGWOOD.com, I listed the item as being IN KINGWOOD, why would I go meet you in Houston to sell a cheapy item? While we're at it, wth is up with people listing items for sale, not listing the location, and then when you inquire about the item they say it's way out in bfe? geez people... this isn't Craig's  List. 4951

@14valentine: If you have that, where someone doesn't list a location and is very far from Kingwood, please click the "Flag" icon.  Kingwood.com's Classifieds are limited to the greater Kingwood area, so we do reject people who are too far away...sometimes people try to get around the system by hiding their real location...

That's sneaky. And what is equally as aggravating is when they agree to come see the item and totally blow you off. Where has courtesy and kindness gone in this modern era of self, entitlement, and get it now? 4951

I agree @14valentine - people ask me all the time to deliver, drop off or meet up for a $1.00 item or even $10.00. And I get emails - 'I'm interested, where do you live?'. It says where the person lives. @kingwooddotcom - is New Caney, Conroe, Cleveland part of the greater Kingwood area? I've even seen 'other' listed. Just saw this location:  6c2 6bd 6b8 A96 A91 A8c Humble. What do all those letters mean? 4951

I purchased two chairs off KIngwood.com from different people who lived in Atascocita, I had to go and pick them up and one person did offer to meet me somewhere Kingwood. But since I was going that way I went on ahead and picked them up at her home in Atascocita. 4951

@bubbleyes72: You've got a chair fetish!
@lola: Yes, and it's getting me in trouble. I have a chair just about everywhere in my home. You know its bad when you start putting them in every closet for decoration so folks won't sit on the bed once it's been made up. Emoticon 4951

Isn't it safer to meet in a public place? I always try to.  But I agree... some people from bfe keep their eyes on these classifieds. 4951

@fcabanski: Not true.  @WskyTngoFxtrt was run out of there many years ago.  He tries to block it out of his mind so he pretends it's no longer there.  It was an ugly seedy story and apparently it still hurts him a bit to think about it. 4951

Don't feel bad I had someone today ask me to meet them so they could buy a $5.00 item, really give me a break. I don't ever expect for someone to drive if I want to buy something. If kw is to far then why look at this classified section. Unless they are used to people saying OK. If they get pushy or I get a bad feeling that's when I will suggest meeting at the Kingwood police station , then for some reason I never hear back. 4951
