I'm giving away a few things for free via Craigslist, someone emailed me their phone number about one of the items. I emailed him back saying he was
welcome to it, and he can pick it up tonight (I want all this shit gone today). He hasn't emailed me back and I have received 4 other emails about it.
Should I call him, should I wait, or should I move on? I don't really want to call him (since I hate calling people
 )

I would give them to the first person who can take them off your hands. Whether that's the first person to respond or not shouldn't matter.

Alright, I just feel bad because I emailed the first guy back to tell him he can have it, but I'm not calling him. It's not like giving something away
for free really benefits me enough to call someone about it.

Maybe make sure to add first come first serve to the listing?

He probably can't pick it up or something, I would just give it to whoever else. He'll understand...you can't just wait after him.

I emailed him and said if he doesn't email me back with a time to pick it up by 7PM I'm giving it to the next person. I'm not chasing someone over
a used vacuum.

I hate it when people want you to call them!
 Maybe email the first person and say there is someone else interested and give him a time to contact you
before you give it to the second person?

He probably doesn't have access to email 24/7 or will be out, thus why he gave you the number. Why don't you text him?

Yeah, if he's older, he's not on the net 24/7 like us youngsters. He's a telephone guy.

I made my boyfriend call, and now I wish I didn't since the next person wanted it for their church summer camp. I found an old vacuum that works and
offered it to them for good karma haha
