I am selling something online. Big things, that need to be picked up in person. I have a set price and am getting a decent amount of interest.
Person A is wants me to hold it until 7 when they can get off work and come and get it. Has not mentioned price, just that they would like it. Normally I'd just say ok and hold it for them and tell everyone else to F off. The only "problem" is .... wait for it .... this person is of Mexican heritage. That's not really a problem in and of itself as Mexicans need washers and dryers as much as the next race. The problem lies in my past business dealings with Mexicans. I for some reason or another have done a fair amount of dealings with Mexicans via garage sales, stuff sold on KSL etc .... and every time they show up, conveniently forget how to speak English, try to shove half the agreed upon amount into my hand and try to get out and or away while I try and explain that's half or less than half of the price of the item and they cannot have said item until the total amount is in my hand. Its a pain in the ***.
Person B is a middle aged caucasian who has told me she would give me $400 cash and will come pick them up tonight. Now she contacted me second, but I'd rather deal with her as its almost a guarantee that it will be a simple transaction.
I am selling to person B. Am I a racist?
