to have stopped her at question 4?

[noddyholder]

People are wierd! I put a panasonic combi microwave on gumtree for £20 they are 175 new and I used it while waiting for kitchen to be fitted.Woman rang left a message and I rang her back and she said hold on I'll just get my list of questions for you.She then started announcing each q with One Two Three etc.When she got to 4 I stopped her!Fgs it is a bargain why are people so odd!She has left another message saying she looked it up and downloaded the brochure and she wants it I am dreading her coming!

Have your powerpoint presentation ready:)

Q 2 was how well can you see the food while it is cooking? I said it depends on your eyesight!

Haha you get all sorts in this world

maybe she's autistic?.

strange woman. it's a bargain. if it doesn't suit her she cans sell it again

YAB a tiny bit U. £20 is a lot of money to some people and she may just want to make sure that she doesn't end up with something that isn't right for her, but also some people are just like that.

What was Q3?

And what are you cooking for your demo?

I wonder just how many questions she would have asked if you hadn't stopped her

She asked how 'silver' it was as she really wanted white I think.I am not doing a demo!

Just send her a message saying that the microwave is still £20 but that you charge £5 per enquiry...
If she says "why"
" because I do and that is £5 please"

Well what were the questions that you'd answered?

£20 is a lot of money to pay for a (luxury, not totally neccesary) item for some people.

It wasn't so long ago that H and I were paying mortgage, bills, etc and after all the direct debts we had £22 left over at the end of the month to pay for everything else (car breakdowns, haircuts, school activities, bus money). So if our microwave had gone during that time I would have thought before spending £20 on it too. Even if it was a bargain, that wouldn't have been the issue - I wouldn't have wanted to spend money and possibly waste a penny of it on something that didn't fit our needs.

Unless she was rude, in which case YANBU. :)

I amswered size wattage colour etc but then just gave her the serial no and told her to look it up £20 is not a lot for this has a grill aswell and is excellent condition.She was v pushy

Well... maybe she's got a memory problem and she literally needs to write her queries down, number them to organise it, and read what she's written to make sure she's asked what she needs to ask.

I think you were a bit harsh, tbh, although my tolerance for looney behaviour is pretty poor today so I am not one to talk.

Surely you can rustle up a chicken on a bed of mediterranean vegetables?
Or a lemon sponge upside down surprise?

You are not taking this sale seriously.

I hope you have finished painting it white. What if it isn't dry in time?

Only on Mn would it be considered harsh I think I might get my panasonic t shirt and pom poms out and do a bit of a microwave cheerleader dance to try and convince her of its merits

Sold!

Panasonic what a tonic

Cooks your food, cheers your mood

P A N A etc

With pom poms of course

She has been and gone.Came with tape measure as if I couldn't measure .Scraped my newly painted walls on teh way out

Did she buy it?

Yes!
