Don't we have a "bitch about idiots on CL or Marketplace" thread?

Installed OfferUp again 2 days ago and just deleted that bullshit off my phone. Had a Nintendo Switch Lite I never use listed on there. Crowd on there is worse than Facebook. :barf:

Looks like the go-to for white trash housewives who have nothing better to do than lowball random shit. Sob stories out the ass about being too poor for little Timmy to play video games. Even had one lady message me asking me if I'd donate it to her son she had to put in rehab. :laughing: Not a kid going through physical therapy, but her adult son with a drug problem. :shaking:

Admit it, you're just a meanie.

A guy borrowed a car from his ex wife and drove an hour to look at a truck I am selling. Also gave a minor red flag as he mentioned way too many times he was just out of the military, was in the military, etc.

As we were getting in the truck for a test drive, I told him the trailer brake controller isn’t included.

guy: that’s not what it said in the ad
me: I didn’t mention it at all in the ad and made sure it wasn’t in pictures because I am keeping it.
guy: The ad says it’s included
me: Maybe you have it confused with another ad
guy: maybe you are a liar
me: get out of the truck Have a nice drive.
guy: wtf. Asshole
me: ok bye

Listed a truck for 2000, kid drives 2 hours one way to look at it. He offers me 1500 and I tell him no way I'm selling it that low. He then tells me that 1500 is all he brought. I said, "Well, you should have talked to me about that on the phone and I could have saved you a lot of driving." Then turns out his buddy who came with him had 300. I figured he probably had another 200 somewhere that he could miraculously find in the glovebox or something but I was willing to take 1800 anyway, so I did.
 
Bought a shipping container off Facespace marketplace last weekend. Guy listed it up for $3000 and I saw the ad 9 minutes after he put it up. So contacted him right away and went up and paid him for it. It was full of shit but he claimed he would finish cleaning it out that night.

I told him it will be next weekend before I will be able to pick it up.

Come Friday I say hey, did you get that shipping container cleaned out? Looks like it will be Sunday afternoon when I make it up there.

He said something along the lines of, "Sounds good see you Sunday afternoon"

Get there today and all the shit was still in it. So I started jacking up the shipping container while he went and got some big boxes on an old tilt deck tow truck and then my boy and I got to help him clean all the shit out of it before we loaded it... It was a bunch of pure trash. I saw maybe a handful of decent shit in there and the rest was pretty much garbage.

On the plus side he did get some neighbor/buddy to come over with a tractor and loader to help load it on the trailer. That guy was a pretty cool dude.

Oh well. Got it loaded and home anyhow.

^ another complaint of mine as a buyer this time-

DON'T TRY TO SELL YOUR SHIT UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO SELL YOUR SHIT.

Clean the fucking container out and have it ready to go before you ever post it. Have the fucking car title in hand before you ever post it "I think it's in mom's safe deposit box", etc. etc. I understand selling a running engine still in the vehicle (potential buyer can crank it) and things of that nature... but there's really no excuse for having a goddam container full of shit- still full of shit- not only while you're trying to sell it, but long after it's sold.

There's nothing wrong with being lazy, but when your laziness affects other people you need to be beaten with a 3ft. long piece of garden hose.

Exactly, I have a Case 480LL (loader and 3 point, no backhoe) that I need to sell, but haven't yet because it has a electrical issue and I want it fixed BEFORE I list it for sale.

Even that is okay, if listed as "has elec. issues" and the price reflects the fact that it's not 100%. But I get your point.

If you're going to list a car and you are going to post pics of the inside of it, at least take the time to clean the 30 or 40 McDonalds bags from the passenger side floor board. And do some people think a 4 wheeler, sxs...etc actually looks better covered in mud?

True, but I would rather not take the hit on price (and the reduction in the buyer pool to those who are comfortable buying something with electrical issues) for a short in the electrical system when an hour or two of digging around with the electrical schematics will let me at least isolated to one circuit if not fix it completely.
The problem is finding that hour or two uninterrupted to dig into it...

This probably bothers me the most. The 4wheeler I'm going to look at is covered in mud or just lightly rinsed off. If they don't take the time to clean it, it's a basket case that's missing bolts and shits ziptied together. They will be firm on price like the zip ties raised the value.

Or the picture of 3ft tall grass and can't be bothered to pull the vehicle out so you can see more than a fender windshield.

I don't know about other areas. I'll get the line "one just sold for $$$" and I'm sure it did, but yours is garbage.
 
I don't get trying to sell anything for more than $100 that you can't be bothered to take at least 3 pictures of. Front, back, model/id tag.

One thing that I try to do is plan when I am going to make my listing. Don't list something on friday before you are going camping all weekend. If you are going to list something be available to show it in the next couple days. But also don't get pissy when you respond to a 2 month old ad and the seller doesnt respond in 5 minutes

That's another one.

-lists big item for sale Thursday evening

-gets contacted Friday morning, buyer is ready and wants to come see it

-"Yea we're headed to Gulf Shores for the week. Should be back next Sunday maybe"

:shaking: :laughing:
 
And know how to receive notifications. The number of times I’ve seen something within 30 minutes of listing. Then crickets for hours. Well now it’s after dark, or middle of rush hour, or whatever else has now made it more complicated.
 
What I really hate is dealing with the CL assholes while selling something because it's been in the way for a year, then 6 months later needing that very thing.
 
Cleaning out corners of shop. Selling off some rollers I kept just in case. Lined them up, took a pic, and put on fb marketplace. The thumbnail is square so it shows only 2 wheels.

So far I have had 2 people ask if I'm selling 2 or 4 wheels since they didn't click on the thumbnail. I wonder how many times I'll get that question.

FB screws up photos quite often. Also seems to depend on if you upload from mobile or the website

People don't seem to notice the fact you can choose what picture you want for the first one. Or that you can turn off shipping for stuff that you can't ship
 
Dipshit starts calling and texting me on Sunday about a vehicle at the shop. Finally I answer

Dipshit: is the van for sale?

Me: The cars for sale all have signs in them. Does it have a sign in it?

Dipshit: No

Me: then it’s not for sale. It’s a customers vehicle I am working on.

Dipshit: would he sell it?

Me: if you make a real offer I will pass it along but it’s a Quigley van. They aren’t cheap

Dipshit: Is he interested in trades?

Me: Dont call this number ever again.
 
I can’t find the right CL or Marketplace thread. Can someone bump the right thread for WTF CL or MP ads?

It is to me. Who buys a used toilet?

If I buy a house, one thing I do is throw away the toilets and buy new ones. OCD issues I guess. I wouldn’t take a free used toilet or mattress 🤮

I thought your problem was with trading it for taco bell.

I got and installed a free toilet in my house I was renting. Part of the unspoken agreement on retarded cheap rent was to not bother the landlord more then necessary. I was broke and just handled everything myself.
