ebay drives me crazy sometimes

[lMlHuxley]

I have an auction that just started for a platinum gameboy advance sp and I get this message. Mine was pretty new and they retail for 100$

"Dear thestartinglinerock,

Hello I'll buy it now for 25.00 + 8.00 s&h because I collect sp for cheap THANKS Josh"

ummmm how about no?

 

[Nohr]

I'll give you $40!

 

[lMlHuxley]

Smash him with a hammer.

Add them to your blocked bidder list. I always do this, including the people who ask specific questions that are pointed out exactly in the description.

I wonder if that works for just about anything.

"Dear BMW, I will give you $1,000 for a brand new Mini Cooper in Blue because I collect them for cheap."

 

[MrCodeDude]

This seems like the proverbial "biting off your nose to spite your face." How do you know they didn't just miss that part of the description?

had a similar experience.....I was selling some extra tickets to a concert for face value ($15 each)......some dude sent me an email and said "I'll give you $15 for 3 tickets. Someone else offered me that price but said I had to pick them up from him and I don't want to do that"....well fine then, fvck off.

I would definitely lead him on and fvck with him for a while 🙂

Nothing worse than lowballers. This goes for the FS/FT forum and ebay. How can people even try to send emails like that. Offering me 25% of what the item goes for on ebay that little bastard. If I didn't have a conscious I would accept his offer and then just keep his money.
