Strange sellers - What is it with some people in this hobby?

(1/2) > >>

MonitorGuru:
No long preface, but by length and content his is the complete email exchange between me and a seller for an item that didn't sell after 3 listings. Anything strange to anyone else??


Me (Tues): Do you still have such and such a game you had on ebay that didn't sell? I can have someone pick it up on Saturday if you still have it and it is in the same condition? Would you be willing to accept $40 for it?

Him (Tues): I'll only take $50 for it. I'll be available all day Saturday. Let me know if you want it or not.

Me (Wed): Is it still in the same condition as the pictures you had? Has it been kept outside or in a barn/does it smell bad or does it have any obious problems not shown in the picture, like significant rusting inside or underneath or a busted back end of the tube?  [Then a couple sentences about why my relative was in the area and that they had to be somewhere at 9am after driving 3 hours to get there---setting the place for finding out what time worked best for him]

Me (Thurs): Sorry to bother, havn't heard from you. I do want it if you still have it and confirm there isn't anything changed from the original description or obviously wrong that wasn't pictured. Please send me your address and when works best for you, again my relative has to be somewhere at 9 after driving 3 hours to get there.

Him (Thurs): No, it doesn't smell. It doesn't power up. Address is ______.  I've got 3 others picking up between 8-10.

Me (Thurs): Please clarify 8-10.. is that your only time you're available or since you're busy with 3 others did you not want that time but something a little later, that would work best for my relative?  Thanks

Him (Fri): Only between 8-10 and early as possible. Sorry to sound like an a__ but I want to move on with my life.

Him (Sun): Your relative picked it up at 8 yesterday, now it's yours.

Hoagie_one:
well duh.  He needed to move on with his life.

lol, strange

RacerX:
Sounds like a nasty breakup.  I hope he gets over it soon.   ;)

Minwah:
Many people in the world are just t0ssers, unfortunately  :'(

pointdablame:
why did you have to bring this up MonitorGuru? why?????

Obviously, that machine was once a centerpiece in his living room.  Then on a warm Saturday afternoon, he and his friends were playing when a freak wind storm burst through the house and knocked the machine over on to his beloved pet turtle, crushing it to death.  With the loss of his pet, he couldn't stand to see the machine anymore, so he threw it in a barn.  Now, after years and years of therapy, he is ready to let it go, and move on.

Don't make fun of him... that is very inconsiderate... he's been through a lot  ;D
