Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I am like 90% sure that a lot of those are accidental.
The default auto message is "is this item still available?" on damn near all these kinds of apps and tools. It doesn't ask for confirmation a lot of the time, and touch screens kinda suck. Especially if you have fat sausage fingers like the average Craigslist user.
And exactly this is why you should always make sure to change the message text when asking a seller something.
I haven't sold anything for several years but have purchased several items with multiple interested buyers lately sold on a first to come gets it basis.
This. This, this, and this. This is a UI issue as much as anything else.
I've done that at least once, it's not the best system.
