Paintball

[punkncat]

I am not trying to offend anyone in particular. I may be shooting myself in the foot by doing this while I have a large sale thread going, but I simply cannot resist.

I think that many buyers simply cannot read, and have gone just plain dumb.

Selling an item for $25. The first section of the sale thread, even before the items listed it says plainly shipping is on the buyer.
Then comes the inevitable, will you do $25 paypalled and shipped?

Read the post you dumb !!! Did it say OBO? Did it say shipping included?

So then you get this buyer that wants pictures of every angle of a common item. You list item "x" in good condition. Post a good pic of it and they want you to take five high res pictures of every angle. Doesn't matter that this is a stock item common to every paintball store in america, that you listed it as good shape, no damage.

So then you get the guy who wants to play 20 questions with you, and then you never hear from them again.
Or how about the jerk that wants multiple items and then get offended when he doesn't get a multi item discount?
Yeah like, buy some of my stuff and I will GIVE you the rest of it.
Then they always want to come back with "well I had an offer for that item for much less/half/a fraction of what you want for it".
Well you know what butthole? Take your sorry lowballing carcass back to that individual and get it. If it was such a flaming good deal then why did you pass it up? Just to come hassle me?

GGGGGGGRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Stupid ing people!!!!!!

Links? You can PM me if you want and I will take a look at them. Several users are already being watched for similar idiocy.

I've had that happen to me more than once, and yes it does suck

Actually I just posted (the sale thread) here in order to avoid this kind of thing. I have not had any appreciable problems like this on MCB. I was just ranting in general about my experiance, and in this case, elsewhere.

Thanks much for looking out.

I understand where you are coming from but honestly I'd rather have people interested and posting offers that are easily declined (and free bumps) than have a thread sit there with no activity and no offers at all.

I have had a potential buyer totally stop any communication many times. Or when you say for a little extra cash you will throw in an accessory, then the buyer asks if you will include the accessory for a price lower than the original one without it.

On a related note, I get angry when I am working out a deal for a gun, only for the seller to say half way through the conversation, "the barrel, asa, reg, and feedneck not included." Then he gets angry when I say I am no longer interested.

Oh the irony. Not to worry though bro, Hover-round to the rescue!

Sorry, I couldnt help myself....

Yeah PB deals can be a pain. Though there are people that Ive done many deals with and had no issues whatsoever. Even with rep its still a roll of the dice each time.

Oh!!!! that was SO wrong!

I think you have scarred me mentally and the only way to make it better is to give me your Viking....

I love the ever so common

"I'm interested. PM me."



Not common here, but SOP on "other" sites.

Well, there's always room to negotiate Unless it's a hot/in demand item, I always expect some negotiating room with deals, unless they specifically say "Firm"

This I hate. When I was selling my S6 I went back and forth with someone probably 15 times with PM's. He asked me 4 times "Whats the lowest you'll go" he got the same answer the first 3 times, I just ignored all his PM's after that. He was looking to buy it without the frame since he already had one, once I started ignoring him I got a PM from a brand new member who also wanted it without the frame and sounded suspiciously like the first guy.

I sold it the next day for a cheaper price to someone else who acted like a mature human being.
