CL is free. Therefore, people often post that they want to sell (or buy) things when they may not be serious. If it cost money, they'd have to think harder, and if, like on ebay, they were legally bound to deliver the goods, they'd have to be really serious.
On the whole, though, I've had FAR more great CL experiences than bad ones. I've successfully bought and sold tons of stuff (furniture, appliances, instruments, cars), found people to share gas costs, found places to live- all for free. That more than makes up for the times that people have blown me off.
