As much as I hate to double post, I just thought I would relate an experience which happened to a friend just yesterday. He was in the market for a tiller for the tractor he just bought (very nice deal, BTW, because he wasn't afraid to negotiate.) So, he found one at a price he thought was fair, spent time talking to the seller and shuffled his work/personal schedule so he could go get it. Just before he set out the next morning, he called the seller to let him know that he's on the way, and the seller informed him that it was no longer available because he sold it to his neighbor! Fortunately, when he related the experience at work, one of his co-workers offered to sell him a much nicer one for the same price, so it actually worked out in his favor. But the point is, r3tard$ exist on both sides, and just because you don't happen to be one, the other side doesn't know that until you start conversing with them. Even then, no-one really can know for sure. |

Of course there are stupid stupid sellers I never said there weren't. I dont complain about them because there are tons of red flags usually on their posts so they just get ignored. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/646345147320499?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3A87b6cab5-c714-42b2-b5cc-7177c06e8093 Lets use this post as an example while it is up. He is selling an Asus 3080 TI for $600. That would be a great brand, a great card for a good price…. Well he has only two pictures showing only the box, none showing the card itself. He has no description explaining why he is selling it or any information. Of course the card is still available even though the ad is over a week old. This person is a retard with no critical thinking skills or a scammer or both. If there was a way to spill soda on it or rip some of the PCIE connector pins out I am sure this individual managed to do that. If I was looking for a Graphics card I would not be wasting a second of my day trying to contact him. By the way just not selling to someone does not make you a stupid seller, like I said no one is running a business here it is first come first serve. You can get mad if you agree to leave to meet him for a sale and then when you get there he tells you he just sold it, now he just wasted your time. |

Buying an oscilloscope from a guy on Facebook marketplace this weekend. So far communication is great. This will be another painless transaction. |
