If I receive a low ball, I just bring down my price to a level I am still comfortable with. If they don't want it, they won't respond. Pretty simple. Don't be offended by low balls, just be polite. I just like the people who want 4k for a nonworking zizzle. Love that stuff. Oh and 2500 for a HE fireball haha
Quoted from mcluvin:Posted a ladder a few days ago. 3 guys asked me if I still had it. A prompt yes to all 3. Only 1 responds. He does end up buying the ladder.
The ones I really hate are where I'm giving something away for free. If I say curb alert, nobody comes, but they will ask if it is still there. If I relent and hold it for somebody, 2 out of 3 times they don't show up. I should just toss the stuff, but I know somebody could probably use it. Just hate the hassle....
I totally agree. I put a bunch of stuff out, and I got text after text of sob stories begging me to let them have it. Then I hold it for them, and no one shows. WTF? I just assumed they wanted it to pawn to get their next fix, and figured out a different way to get it.
Quoted from tjsynkral:How can you be sure that he wouldn't buy the other game? You may have thrown away a sale.
I agree with rivelli. Screw that guy. I would rather lose a sale than deal with a complete douchebag.
Quoted from tjsynkral:Methinks you're labeling the wrong person as the complete douchebag.
I understood his story as the guy never being interested and just saying he was interested to get free time on the machine. That makes him douchey, assuming that is what happened. Plus the dude is using multiple names? Doesn't sound like a serious upstanding non-buyer to me.
