To think they'd already sold it?

[Koelner]

Long story short, my freezer is dying a slow death. It may last another month, but I can't take the risk. As the fridge, while still OK, is the same age, I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone as it were and replace both.
Saw a small fridge/freezer on FB marketplace that had only just gone up. I messaged asking if it was still available and saying that, if it was, I could collect at their convenience.
When I've gone on messenger, they've seen the message. Then underneath my message it says "X sold fridge freezer".
As they haven't responded, should I assume that I just wasn't quick enough or should I just wait and see if they respond tomorrow before looking again?

I always make sure that I message people even if I've sold an item. It's polite! I can understand your frustration. There are a lot of judgemental women on here who think it's their business to talk about your finances and make assumptions based on what they think your financial situation is.... Your finances are completely unrelated to the problem you have!! Bottom line,the seller has been rude. They won't be doing it on purpose, but it rude, yes!!!

I'd messaged back and say 'Can I assume that you have sold this to somebody else. If not, I'm definitely interested - Many thanks!

Ignore the bitterness that a huge percentage of the women on here like to spout. They absolutely have nothing better to do!!!!! Xx

@Koelner

*UPDATE* Have found one that is still available. It's a little outside my area (about 30 miles away give or take). I've decided to take the risk with the fridge as it's currently not showing any signs of dying on me this side of New Year. Will be picking my "new" freezer up tomorrow. I wouldn't be surprised if my 30 year old Hotpoint suddenly drops it's "dying swan" routine and starts working perfectly again as that always seems to be how these things go.

Great news, hope it works out!

@Drivingdownthe101 I'm hoping it does too. When I start worrying I just remind myself it only has to last until New Year.

Hi, sorry hope you didn't think my reply was shitty- I'm on health-related ESA at the moment too so definitely wasn't assuming that you could afford one. I have managed to get credit on ESA (my job is 'Homemaker' on all applications) but I know it varies person to person.

Hope you managed to find another one.

Oh you did, that's great.
