I guess I've been lucky and have only had one minor issue with anyone being overly demanding when it comes to an item.

I did have one woman that was having issues arranging a time for pick-up of a Little Tikes playhouse. My times just "didn't work for her" plus she had a friend come and pick it up ~ she didn't see it herself in person. I was new to selling on Craigslist and probably accomodated her too much. I should have known better, there were tons of people that wanted to buy that playhouse (it was a steal). I should have picked someone less "picky". I've learned from experience now.

I always have a few photos and state that the price is firm, that I accept cash only and that I only communicate via email (just a personal hang-up of mine).

If I get bombarded with emails, I usually weed out the ones that haven't complied with my requests on my listing. Usually it's someone that says "Call me at my number".....

So far I've only sold large things (desk, cabinet), so I only respond to those who can pick it up. The only smaller thing I sold (sit n' stand stroller) was picked up the same day I listed it by a lady who had a 2 year old and a 7 day old baby, her husband did not even get out of the car to help her load it up.
