I saw this in a grocery store and was confused for a moment

Or it has to do with people searching online and then leaving their items when they find them cheaper.

I had a dumb ass cancel a CL transaction today that he agreed to buy on Friday and I had two other people interested in buying this weekend.

He insists it's all cheaper online. My pricing was $150+ better than the best pricing online.
Depends on what it is. If it's $500 new and you are selling it for $350, I am buying the new item.

This.

I had this happen yesterday. Some jack hole in front of me had his stuff on the conveyer belt, and then ran back in the store because he had forgotten his wifes sanitary napkins.

that's different and although annoying its tolerable. I had a incident where the lady in front of me with a buggy half full of her shit call her friend over and started transferring all her friends shit into her buggy. My wife was about ready to kick her in the wise and beautiful woman and had to shuffle her and our shit off to another lane while a few choice words were thrown around.

Well about $450 new, $386 is the best pricing now and I was selling at $225. Two items were never used, the other two only for one project.

All boxes, manuals, etc.

The funny thing is it's a business owner with a linked in, company page and facebook.

Telling me I am basically ripping him off after having an agreement for 4+ days and me confirming he was definitely taking the items because I had two others interested really was an asshat move.

Fact is there is no way he can find my items new for anywhere what he was claiming.

I abhor shopping, and no longer do it during the holiday season. I've had people DIVE Ahead of me to get products, and the number of times someone has jammed his cart in front of mine as I'm walking down the aisle, or try to cut his way in front of me in line simply can't be counted.

Seriously. It's a store. It's not worth the time or money to put up with a bunch of people who want to act like dicks.

I often scan barcodes at stores with my Amazon app and buy it from Amazon if it's cheaper. When scanning barcodes, I've gotten attention from employees a few times.
