Selling stuff rant

[JohnTRourke]

here, there, everywhere.

1. Seriously, "USPS money order only" for a $40 item?????? c'mon, who cares? (for a gun, totally acceptable or a couple hundred dollar scope, totally acceptable but for some piddly little thing???? thanks for making me spend 30 minutes and 10 bucks worth of gas. )

2. If you put LNIB in your ad, you actually have to have the box.

3. No pictures, no sale. It's not rocket science, it's 2011, LEARN!

4. Sellers who would rather spend $20 in gas to sell a $50 item FTF than eat $3 in shipping to a same state sale. (not a gun obviously)

I'm currently trying to sell a car, but the idiots I've delt with are amazing.

Who on earth allows a total stranger to make payments on a used car? Seriously, the last 3 cars I've sold I'll have some idiot ask about a payment plan (they usually sound like a ghetto rat on the phone or type like this in email: "Yo, U take paymenz?").

People that say "Sure, I'll come by and look at the car at 6pm" and then never show up, never call, never email ... unless its to email two weeks later asking if you still have the car for sale.

Then there's the guy in [insert shit-hole 3rd world country] that honestly thinks you're going to ship the car and the extra cash to his cousin in Florida after he sends you a 3rd party check for twice the amount ... really? That works?

And they were short like $40 to begin with. There not on the forum anymore. I'm suprised he didn't try and wash my windows. It was funny at the time

C'mon, man. I wasn't asking for a lot of gas money. It's not like I needed to fill up a 747. Sheesh!

How about lowballing?

Had someone on this site PM about a gun I was selling. Drove 50 miles to save him some $$$ and time. Met him and after he wasted 10 minutes looking at the LNIB gun he offered $100 LESS than we agreed PMing. Mentioned price being too high and "Gunbroker" selling price lower than mine. Pissed, I told him to pound sand and left without sale. He PMed me that night, apologized, and wanted to meet again. Yeah, right. Won't mention his name here but...see him posting fairly often!!!

Dude, why you gotta out me like dat?


Kidding. I wont drive anywhere without an "ill take it.
this implies you are agreeing to the price and package as advertised.

even then, I'm not leaving Thornton/Northglenn.

Or when you have "prices firm" clearly in the add and people still want to haggle.

Or when you have "no trades" or "only listed trades" and people want to offer you whatever they have tucked in the back of the closet.

Or when you are discussing the trade of two comparable guns, a glock and an M&P for instance and for whatever reason the other party thinks their gun is worth more used than it sells for new and your gun should go for half price.
