Sold a couch on Craigslist in 12 minutes flat but forgot to take the cash

I was at my apartment in Austin last Saturday trying to offload an old IKEA sofa for $80. Someone messaged me right away and showed up 10 minutes later with cash in hand, but I was so excited I let him carry it out while I was still cleaning the spot where it sat. Has anyone else ever gotten so caught up in the rush of a fast sale that you forgot to actually collect the payment?

Did you at least get to keep the spot where the couch sat?

Oh I totally get what you mean @the_rose, but actually the couch sat in front of the window so that spot is still there, just empty now without the furniture piece.

Wait, you let him take the couch without paying first?
