Jerked around on the classifies!

[Moderator3]

I've only had good experiences except one thing pissed me off recently. I sold a scope to some dude in Puerto Rico, and by the way I paid more than I would otherwise to ship it and ate the cost. He got the scope and everything was fine, no complaints.

But I didn't realize that because I didn't log in to AGN for a week or so... while my laptop crashed and I was setting up a new one... this moran gave me a zero star feedback for "taking too long to reply". What an entitled little piece of work! I didn't see that he gave me the feedback and I sent him the scope anyway.

I told him to undo his zero star after I noticed and apparently all he could do was leave a comment on his original rating and say everything turned out fine. But who does that in the first place? This isn't WalMart... if somebody has to call out sick for a few days [or whatever the reason may be... not everyone is attached to the internet 24/7 either] we don't have someone filling in for us!

You should not even be able to leave feedback on marketplace without a confirmed and finalized transaction IMO. Shouldn't be a necessary feature but we have morans roaming among us.

Feedback removed. Have a great day

Getting sick of it. The classifieds need new rules.
1st- Don't talk a guy down on price and not take it.
2nd- Asking where to send $$ several times and not send it.
3rd- Don't say you will "Take it" and not pay.
Its getting to the point where I am about to yank all my stuff off here and never come back. I have been selling and buying stuff on here for years and it has changed for the worst. Quit wasting my time!

I agree 100% it’s getting ridiculous trying to sell anything on here anymore, if it’s not the lowballers offering you insulting prices or asking you stupid questions that is clearing in your ad..

The problem is sellers want 90% of retail, buyers want to pay 20%................lol
I've had some buyers cancel, I've had some ghost me........price of doing business.

Lol.so true

Jammin, I hear ya. I’ve experienced every scenario you’ve mentioned. Typically anything I post for sale is “taking a beating priced”. I try to price so it’s desireable to the buyer. But sometimes it’s an item that’s not highly in demand or is useable by a very small buyers group and I’ll do what I have to so it gets sold or decide to keep it. As mentioned, it’s just in some folks DNA to get a lower price than posted. Oh well.
Craigslist is the absolute worst place to sell anything. One time I had some suitcase sized Pelican cases on Craigslist for a very good price. Some clown offered me nearly half of what I was asking. Ridiculous. He emailed back a few days later with an offer a couple dollars more. He pissed me off. I told him they went to the local landfill that morning because I wanted them out of the garage and dealing with his lowball offer wasn’t worth my time. He calls me from the landfill and was looking for them. He said the guy at the gate doesn’t remember seeing the cases. They were still in my garage and a few days later sold at my asking price to someone else that saw what a deal they were.

Well I saw a new approach yesterday in the classifieds you buyers may want to try out. You post an ad specifically to dealers. Call them out by saying we all know what you guys really pay and offer to pay X amount over that. Forget map pricing and all that you tell them what you will pay. Heck maybe that person has an idea .

Forums with post limits to be able to PM or post are very frustrating indeed!
