put all that shit in a corner, and let me know when there is a escalade full of trash i can pick up
Come browse the alleys in the city last week of the month. There’s gold sitting out here all the time.
i used to commute only using alleys once i got off at Lawrence ave from 90, all the way to our building lol
I added to the price of an item for a guy that was trying to low ball me. I had listed the stock 19" tires/rims on my '15 Mustang for $300. I couldn't find anyone listing them for under $500, I thought my deal was a steal. This guy asked me if I'd go to $250. I told him that the price is now $350.
And the guy that ended up buying them pulled the "I only brought $280 with me" bullshit. I told him we agreed upon $300, why did you show up with less than the agreed upon amount? I told him to go to an ATM and get the last $20. He went back to his car and 'found' another $20.

Love that.
"What's the price?"
Got that so many times selling the ATV. I started adding $500 to the price.
"Well that's not what the ad says." Hmm, amazing fuckface.
I probably could have sold my S2000 already, but I just can't stand stupid people. I have lost all faith in humanity and I will never sell anything ever again. I thought, maybe, JUST MAYBE since the s2000 is kind of expensive I won't have to deal with the dumbest fuckin' people on the planet. Man, I was sooo wrong. "If you have to ask, you can't afford it" is pretty much my only reply to everyone. Or "READ THE FUCKIN' AD" 
I pulled this with [MENTION=16]PANDA[/MENTION] when I bought his white T/A from him. I had it in my pocket and didn't let it go too long, but wish I was wearing a body cam to see his face
I don't think he thought it was too funny at the time
Some stuff I can see haggling. I will try just to see what happens. If I really want it, Ill pay what asking is. If I get super push back, Ill just explain and move on. Sometimes they take what I offer. Sometimes they come back with less than asking but more than what I offered. I usually take that deal.
This sounds like it came from r/choosingbeggars.
I was trying to sell the PC I put in the other FS section on offerup and FB marketplace. Jeeeeeeezussssssssss. I swear. I thought I pieced it together for a damn good price and at first wanted to make a bit of profit since I had to do the running around, haggling, and of course buying and putting it together.
Someone reported it on FB and I cant sell on there now. Which is funny, but whatever. Then I had people saying they would give me XBONEs or $300 max since it wasnt a gaming laptop. ROFL!! GL getting a gaming laptop worth a damn for $400 pal.
Ended up just giving it to my daughter. Cause Im not selling it for a loss. It was a damn steal, but it was in a bland case and wasnt blinged out so no one wanted it. But people will buy inferior parts put together in a NZXT H500i CAUSE OMGZ DA LEDZZZZ! for MORE money than what I was asking for mine.
Just sent this.. so fucking sick of fucking fuckery.
Yeah, the timing can be critical. April and May are great months to sell property. Once you start getting late into the summer, people are less motivated to move when the school year is approaching...at least families with children.
True. It is also easier to score houses as well since people without families dont care and seem more motivated to sell.
exactly.. I'm trying to wash my hands frankly 20k under a fair market value and these idiots are fucking around. Literally as of the 24th I thought we were out of attorney review yet here we are on the 28th and I find out they requested an extension to 5/30 for a roofing company to inspect the new 35 year roof that was put on by a roofing company (and fully inspected) without issues.

I like it. Well written.
I had a customer (notice the "had") who threatened to pull out of a deal on the day before closing. He was fishing for more money off the agreed on price. "Pay me or I'll pull out."
I told him he would most likely lose his deposit and I would not be helping him in any future transactions. Ended up with the seller agreeing to mow the grass before closing to throw him a bone and get the deal done.
I took the guy out of my book of business and haven't contacted him since.
Yep I'm trying to be as political as possible, even with my own agent and attorney to get this done. My attorney now sat on their request for an extension (questions about flashing) from Friday afternoon until Tuesday afternoon and now pushing it back on them to grant the extension till the 30th so now they only have 2 days to get their own roofer out there.

HOUSESES ARE FUNNN1!!!!1!!!!!!1!!!!!!
market rocks out with it's cock out in june too though, i would definitely be annoyed in your shoes, but timing-wise, at least around here, you're aaaaiiiiight.
Yep fingers crossed.. I'm struggling BIG TIME battling this stress and anxiety.. I literally can feel the depression lifting and clamping back down while this plays out. Great scenario to play with other biohacking variables to deal with it though. Part of me wanted to play hard ball and deny the extension, which if they walk, very well could net another 5k because this is beyond giving it away at this point.
I really don't bother selling anything unless I can make at least $100 on it. Its just not worth it dealing with people. I also post a price very close to my bottom dollar. But I still get people offering half of that. Been selling almost exclusive on Facebook now. I think I get to much action sometimes but at least they are people and not bots. Posted a $120 2-stage snowblower ($499 new) in the spring. My inbox was flooded. I had to continually tell people to read the ad because the blower wouldn't throw snow. Sold to the first guy who came out but fuck I must have got 50 messages.
I'm doing one right now where the buyers did a radon test and it came back at 3.0. The wife demanded that we install a mitigation system and get the number down to at least 2.0 or she was killing the deal.
For those unaware, the EPA doesn't recommend a mitigation system unless it's above a 4.0. The companies that install the systems will only guarantee that they can get levels down below that 4.0 number, which is where we already were...So it would be impossible for us or anyone installing the system to guarantee this 2.0 number that she seemingly pulled out of thin air.
It ended with me giving her $300 that she's totally, for real, 100% going to put towards a mitigation system as soon as she moves in.........
