@eLuSiVeMiTe it's the best way to do it!
if I see owt I say whats your best price they say what are you offering. I say I don't want to offend you. if it was 60 quid he wanted id just say yea its probably worth it but not to me id give 40 for it he either sells it or says no thanks he cant get ratty as I already told him not to be offended. if somethings a good price i wont knock them down a penny as its an insultI dont mind a deal but atleast come and see and negotiate or atleast be polite. If I make an offer, I always start with - I hope you dont mind but...
I do thatif u advertise something for 100 quid and someone gets back and says £75 just reply back £125 them but you only wanted 100 for it . you well there you go there stuffed and don't know what else to say
It's the ones that message saying" il collect it today for 20 quid." (marked at 45)
I usually reply ."no you won't" and hit the block button.
Anything I put on Facebook now goes higher than I actually want for it
If it sells for full price I win. If they haggle I still win.
Is it strictly relevant they were foreigners making insulting offers?The missus says Im Racist
Thats what happenedIs it strictly relevant they were foreigners making insulting offers?
not at all I just say your not in wherever you live now and barter the price . being politically correct so its not going to happenI had a concrete sectional garage I had taken down...I intended to move it but built a wooden shed instead
Advertised it for £100 and got loads of foreigners wanting it for £50....told em all to **** off
I had to pay to get it removed
The missus says Im Racist
I've always wondered if politically correct is a metaphor for lyingits great when u are an oap your an official old git and can be excused from being politically correct
Even giving stuff away on facebook is a minefield
Worst we had was a very expensive highchair.
Fair chunk of cash new. Got a cursory clean and listed for free.
Husband collected and was happy
Wife had a meltdown and gave my other half abuse because it wasn't spotless.
If I'd have had my way id have gone and picked it back up.
Been messes around a lot on fb recently and loathe to list stuff there again.
Ebay. I only buy but had a bad run of poor sellers.
@vwmark I sometimes ask a seller what's their best price before travelling
I've had something similar when selling things for say 200, would you take 100 so I reply, yeah plus another 100I’ve posted this before but I had a lovely pair of Mission speakers for sale for £100. Bloke messaged me saying he had to come all the way from South Wales so would I take £50.
They don't even need to sell me anything.My new favourite hobby,
When selling on fagbook
is blocking people ,
who offer less than half of what I'm asking for....
1strike and their out....
It's Highly satisfying...
