Buyers are stupid.
A little background info: I posted a few misc. items I have for sale on various messageboards on the net.
I posted that I have a Radeon 9000 PRO 128MB FS and right now i'm fighting with the second guy that thinks I have a 9800 PRO for sale for $25.
Then there's another post where i'm selling a nylon bag that can house a PS2, some controllers, and a game or two. I am asked how much I want for the PS2 package and how many/what type of games come with it.
Then just about everyone wants me to bend over backwards to do COD and shit like that when they are going to use PayPal with a credit card. They give me some sob story about how them/a friend was scammed and trust nobody. I tell them that "Not like it's going to happen, but you can get your money back in like 5 minutes if they do a chargeback through their CC company." They just don't want to hear it.
Then you have just about everybody that thinks the words "firm" and "OBO" means automatically remove $20 from the asking price on a $40 item. Then they want you to overnight it with insurance which leaves me with a fiver or so.
:EDIT: Random PM conversation:
umop-apisdn (5:39 PM 2/12/2005): $40 shipped, i barely used it.
lDanny (7:11 PM 2/13/2005): would you consider 30 right now? does it have all the wires and booklets and stuff?
umop-apisdn (7:12 PM 2/13/2005): no
lDanny (9:07 PM 2/13/2005): you dont have the wires and the manual?
umop-apisdn (9:09 PM 2/13/2005): no i do. i will not take $30
That is what I was answering.
lDanny (9:10 PM 2/13/2005): oic.. how do you take pictures? and what pictures are taken?
umop-apisdn (9:12 PM 2/13/2005): to take a picture, you aim the camera and push a button. i cannot answer you last question as I have a idiot-induced headache as of now.
lDanny (9:13 PM 2/13/2005): i mean, how do you know what pictures/ how the pictures came out?
umop-apisdn (9:14 PM 2/13/2005): when you upload them to your computer. do you expect them to fit an lcd on a 1" x 1.5" camera? for $40?
lDanny (9:15 PM 2/13/2005): haha.. just wondering..

:chuckles:
I post one random PM and you think that is my demeanor for every one of my deals.
:chuckles:
I was mean to that guy because he has been stringing me on for the last few days. I know he isn't going to buy anything, so I thought I might vent some putting up with lowballer b.s. anger.
