Stupid Facebook selling.

[VivaLeBeaver]

Real post I've seen this week.

"Got some cheap stuff for sale if you want anything"

Cue 20 posts along the lines of;

"Have you got a patio heater hun?"

"No sorry"

Have you got a wheelbarrow?

No, haven't got a wheelbarrow.
Xx

3 days later the thread is still going strong. 20 people have been disappointed that the seller doesn't have what they want and the seller has made no effort to make any suggestion what she does have.

Ask for a moon cup

Or when someone is giving away something relatively good like a working washing machine or fridge and everyone commenting wanting it delivered for free as well, talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.

Another good one just popped up.

"Hi, big ask but has anyone have anything girly for a baby's bedroom?"

Maybe a pole dancing pole is what she's after? Who knows.

I love these ones:

Have x for sale. lots of detail included. £100 no offers please.

1st question asked is answered in posting.
Will you take £20?
No thanks
2nd question also answered in posting.
Will you take £30?

And so it continues. Pointless questions which are answered in the posting if they had bothered to read it and an array of offers when the seller made it clear they wouldn't accept an offer. Read people!

Samsung s3, £55 or offers.

Well nobody's going to give you £55 now are they you muppet?

I love laughing at our local page.

Hi does any1 have a large hamster cage for free that I could ave and they will need to deliver it cause I don't drive.

First reply: you don't want much do you ??

What? I just wondered if anyone had a hamster cage they don't want anymore. You are so rude. I'm going to get this deleted because of you.

then you get the jokers. ..

"free rain, bring your own bucket"

I love the low offers.

Most recent

Seller- "almost new sofa, moving to rented, cost £800 will sell for £350"
Buyer- "£75" (note the lack of please or even words)
Seller- "no, I'd rather keep it!"

£75 for goodness sake!

Argh and always with the 'hun' too.

I hate the people who won't specify how much they want. So it goes

"Laptop for sale offers please"
"How much you thinking"
"Make me an offer"
"£100?"
"No way they are selling for at least £250 on ebay"

Well just say you want £2fucking50 then you tosser.

Them the convo continues

"Would you take any less than £250"
"Make an offer"

Gah!!!

My other favourites are

"Boys t shirts £1 each"
"Would you take 50p each"
"Ok"
"Can you deliver?"

"Anyone got Chester draws?"

I love reading the comments on mine. One from today in a series of comments (asking size etc) about a listing for a pair of 'baby's kickers leather shoes':

"I loved them I've got to get (child's name removed) another new pair for school ?? I don't know how people send them in asda shoes ??"

A particularly good bun fight was

Seller "buggy for sale £10"
Buyer "I don't drive can you deliver please"
Seller "sorry no"
New buyer "yes please can pick up tonight"
Seller "great will message you"
Original buyer "hang on a fucking minute I asked first I would have arranged someone to give me a lift. Reporting this to admin"

Well if you know you can pick up don't ask for delivery you cheeky cow!

These drive me bonkers my favourites at the moment...

Cheeky sod

This wasn't on ebay but I was selling a bookcase on another selling site and had some one message me asking if I'd deliver. Now delivering would mean a 30-40min drie each way with toddler in to whilst late into my 3rd trimester. However we were short of money and I wanted the bloomin' thing out of my house so I agreed on condition she paid for my petrol and time. She said no problem, I gave her a (generous) delivery fee, and she said ok but made me an offer for the bookcase! I told her no. Such a nerve!

I sold a drum kit recently. They're going for about £210-£220 on eBay. So I advertised it as £190, no offers.

First person asks if I,ll take £70 for it because that's all he's got. Eh, no.

Then someone came to look at it, friend of a friend. I had to go out so left dh in charge. Big mistake. She haggled him down to £175 after I gave him specific instructions not to take offers.

When she came back the next day to pick it up she was so pleased as she'd been looking for ages and all the others she'd seen were really far away and more expensive.

Oh and so done tried to get me deleted for giving something free away to the second person who asked rather than him (he asked first). We don't have any rule about first come, first served and he went up the wall.

She was politer. She was probably a second slower because she was putting "please" in her post. Rather than just "yes".

God that would give me the rage Viva. If there's ever something I really want and the price is reasonable I do not haggle! It's none of my business but it drives me up the wall seeing people trying to knock a quid or 2 off the asking price when the amount the seller is after is already a really good price. Some people are just greedy.

Yeah and it isn't like the woman is skint either. I wouldn't have minded so much if she was struggling.

My best recent one was one of those flip top boxes you get cakes in, half covered in Frozen wrapping paper with a few sweets and a Frozen plastic cup. A bargain at 15.00, I could hardly hold myself back but I managed from buying one!

The clocktick we must live near each other as I saw that post!!!

What really annoys me when people ask you about the item you're selling and then never answer anything when you reply. Even a no ta would be helpful!

Anyone else tempted to post stuff that sells well and watch the fight ensue?

Oh my, these are funny, some people are ridiculous. I might need to get a Facebook account so I can go look for myself.

Pmsl at glitter shit btw!
