No, this is not an ebay link thread.
I am selling a Palm Zire 72 on ebay. It's slightly used, so I have a buy-it-now price set at $200 given that street price is $250-300.
First someone says thru the ask a question dialog,
"That isn't a zire 72, more like a 21 or so...Sorry..."
This is someone with an over 300 feedback rating too. How the hell could you confuse the two? The Zire 72 has a 320x320 color screen, a built-in camera, and a blue casing. The Zire 21 has a 160x160 greyscale screen and a white casing.
Yes, I did in fact post a picture of the damn thing on the auction listing!
Next someone else emails me the following message:
"Great How much would be the buy now price of this PAlM, is there any warranty and how much would be the shipping costs --second day delivery to ZIP 45220"
I'm like what the hell? All of this information was posted in the auction listing. I sent the following reply:
"The Buy-It-Now price is listed on the auction page as $200. I am not sure what exact shipping would be. I am charging a $15 fee for standard UPS or Fedex ground shipping (whichever is cheaper) and then if the price works out to be less than that I will send a refund of the difference through Paypal. If the $15 ends up being able to cover 2nd day air then I can use that option. As the item is used, there is no warranty."
That was pretty straightforward, right? Apparently not, because I got this as a reply:
"See What I may offer is 150$ if the item still has warranty and has no scratches on it , you pay the shipping which must be second day delivery feedex or UPS"
I don't know where this person got the idea that they can just bargain outside the auction, but they're getting to be a pain in my ass. I sent them this:
"I am a private individual and as such I cannot provide any sort of warranty. Shipping is non-negotiable and not included in the price of the item. If you would like to make an offer that is less than the buy-it-now price listed on the auction then please feel free to place a bid on the auction page."
I can't believe this freakin tard. I'm sure they're going to try and bargain with me again.
