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.

There are some fuggin idiots on ebay. For example these people emailing me. However not all people on ebay are fuggin idiots. Therefore just because I am selling something on ebay does not mean I am a fuggin idiot.
