So, as you know, I sell a few things….. Why do people message to buy something, then not turn up to collect it, or at the last minute say it’s too far, or, haggle about the price. I sell brand new items at a hugely reduced price. Why can’t some people just be happy with a bargain !

That’s so annoying. You do everything right, and you expect them to as well.

Uhm... Because it's fun to drive you crazy?

Not that I'd ever do that, of course.

@DaddyEvil …..from you it’s tun ….from them, it’s just annoying. I just can’t see the point of what they are doing.

@Traceyjayne Somebody doing that to me would make me mad. There isn't a point. They just like messing with people.

Some people simply must negotiate.

@snowy. That’s what I think ….if they want it delivered , even though the advert clearly states collection , mainly as The Mister works away during the week and I don’t drive, I will try and get the item to them . I do sometimes do a deal if they are buying a lot from me but brand new books that cost £10.99 in the shops I am selling for £2…..I think that’s the best price they could wish for. Arranging to collect and not turning up is rude, and prevents me selling to others.
