For Your Entertainment: Buyer "Knows" He's Right...

[Meeotch]

Normally I'd keep these chuckles to myself, but I just couldn't resist sharing my local Facebook Marketplace at its finest!

Context: I have my EVH 5150 III 4x12 listed locally at $650 when suddenly I receive a message from Michael:

 

[Fiesta Red]

He gave you the rest of the day off. Very cool

 

[ccn]

I have a good feeling about this one , probably will end up making a deal

 

[japetus]

I think he's just trying to rattle your barn brother

 

[Ben Waylin]

Missed opportunity to text back a link to "Wonderwall"

 

[Skolphy]

Before it's over, he'll be buying your cab.

"Um no that's false" would've been my last message to the guy. Serious buyers are....serious and IME don't haggle or argue that much either because they already did they research.

Yeah usually I'd have ended it there as well but the entertainment value at play was just too high.

My favorites are the "I really want that guitar you're selling but I only have less than half your asking price, but I really want it, so will you sell it to me please for the amount I offered?"

I usually just don't respond; one of these days I may respond with a counteroffer for double my asking price.

I'd contact Michael back and say he can have it for $750.00 .

I get it but people are nuts. It's like road rage. Not worth escalating something if it can be left at nothing. I do a lot of CL so I try to be chll and professional and fortunately I have met all kinds of cool people and bought and sold all kinds of sweet gear through there.

There’s many newbies who act like they know shit but are very confused .I’ve seen this kids and orange super crush cabs: they realize no difference between the full big boy cab and the crush

I’ve seen his type of personality before….here on RT

You make a good point man and I think the road rage is a good analogy.

Regardless of the truth; This guy COULD actually believe he is right which makes him dangerous. Don’t feed trolls. They occasionally bite. No he won’t find you but some other sucker might get mad enough to want to meet up with him.

 

[Meanjoegreene]

At least he’s not asking you to check 10,000 things like weight and unnecessary pics and whatnot while having zero intention of buying

 

[tallcoolone]

No one ever regrets ghosting an idiot

That would have meant they paid like $150 for it used. It would have never even hit the salesfloor before an employee bought it much less a website.

You spent way too much time responding ." Eat a dick" is 8 letters, 3 words, concise and to the point to people like this.
