Selling stuff on Facebook.

[blakbearddelite]

I was shopping for a gently used bike for my oldest son. The description of the bike was just '24" Huffy Boys Mountain Bike'. I couldn't tell what model it was from the pics. I wanted to know so that I could gauge the fairness of the price. I asked the lady three times and got no where. It was a brand new bike that still had the stickers/tags on it. It really shouldn't have been that hard. I just decided that I didn't want to deal with her stupid ass anymore and moved on. To be fair, I don't think English was her primary language, but her replies led me to believe that she should have been able to understand what I was asking. The first time I asked her what model it was, she repeated that it was a '24" Huffy bike'.

I mean there are some people in this world where if you ask them what car they have they will respond with "The blue one"

You must not know how to read.

Pot calling the kettle black there.

Cuz from. What I read, you didn't tell them that.

Do I need to post the entire conversation for you to understand? I don't hold stuff for anyone unless they pay up front or give a deposit. Fuck the dibs game everyone else seems to play.

That's another problem I have.

Tire kicker 1 at 845AM: Is it still available?

Buyer 1 at 9AM: I can come tonight at 5PM.

Buyer 2 at 11AM: I can come at noon.

I typically do not pay the dibs game unless I am really selling something of value and someone sends me a deposit or something but first come first serve. Yet seems like everyone else selling on FB plays it. Yeah you messaged me first but if this guy can come before you I am not taking the chances of you bailing at 5PM. I need my shit sold.

I've experienced this numerous times. The fish keep stealing the bait.

Not sure how I still have this bike. I wasn't expecting people to be so picky over $100. Are we still having a bike shortage? Is my price to high?

Didn't expect so many tire kickers.

I’d charge twice as much and make it function and remove anything about any issues. Sold my wife’s bike for $250 in like an hour. Dude sat on it, rolled it around and handed me the rest of the money.

^^^this^^^, it’s all about perceived value, if it’s priced high, but less than you could buy it for new, people will flock to it, done it many times.

I literally just sold my bike for $100 as well.

Exactly same responses.

Only good thing is I'm in the city so people actually can come within 30mins.

Sold for full asking price. And then post deleted. [emoji6]

Just had a guy offer me $50. I was like... "Didn't you just offer me $70 a few days ago?" I am still firm on $100

[daturbosix]

Shoot, I should ask for a discount at fry's because I have to drive so far...

 

[Yaj Yak]

i dont fucking understand people

 

[daturbosix]

granted, i would take 500 if some asshole would show up and wave it in my face without using distance as an excuse.

 

[blakbearddelite]

Yeah, why people think the sellers should compensate the buyer for time/distance travelled is beyond me.

Smells like bitch in here. Accept my ball or delete. Don't like it throw your garbage away instead. /Thread
