...don't argue with idiots, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience...

I thought my all black RRS HST would attract plant pots but selling this X5 has taken twatdom to a whole new level...

The two combined are 5% of our annual turnover, but it's astonishing the web presence it provides. We've pick up two PLC customers who found products on our eBay store then contacted us directly.

So we kind of tolerate the daily idiots and look at the bigger picture.

I can only plead temporary insanity in the case of the purchase Charles, I'm sure the nightmare will be over very soon.

And yes, you did warn me...

Ebay and Amazon customers are Rocket Scientists compared to Facebook groups selling pages, you really could not make it up

I have indeed seen some things... A few terms come to mind, brain dead, interbred, thick as pig sh*t!

I wonder if these people ever went to school? Or do they choose to be of a special variety!

I feel your pain in having to deal with the cerebrally challenged while selling a car.

Years ago I was selling a Subaru Outback which had a lovely 3L flat 6 engine and 5 speed auto 'box. Received a phone enquiry about the car which went something like this:-

Caller: Is your Subaru still for sale?
Me: Yes it is.
C: Your ad says 5 speed gearbox but also says automatic.
M: Err yes that's right. It has a 5 Speed automatic gearbox.
C: Are you sure because it can't be both.
M: Perfectly sure and why can't it be both?
C: Well I've had an automatic before and that didn't have any gears. I just put it in drive and away it went.
M: (thinking I know I'm going to regret this) Did that car have a constantly variable belt drive gearbox?
C: Eh?
M: What car was it?
C: A Volvo 760
M: Well that would have had a 5 speed torque converter auto box.
C: No I said it didn't have any gears. It was an automatic.
M: I'm not sure this is the right car for you. Thank you for calling. Goodbye.

As said.........They walk amongst us!

I still wake up in the wee small hours with this one from my past on eBay.

For sale:

Five BLACK Hamann 22" wheels and tyres. These are BLACK Hamann Multi Spoke Rims. Refurbished by Lepsons in Gloss BLACK powdercoat.

I then attached several pictures of each wheel.

Buyer came in with the Buy It Now price. No funds appeared. I mailed him.

Me: When would you like to pay for the wheels you won?

Him: Sorry I didn't realise hat they were black. I wanted silver.



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH

oh i can bet that by a country mile, this honestly happened

Selling a dishwasher on eBay, got an email asking what shape it was, you couldn't make it up

 

[m2287]

Selling an old car we wanted rid of for £500 someone contacted me via email and after asking a load of questions and me sending 30 odd pictures of parts of the car at his request...

Buyer: how long have you had it
Me: 3 months (the car had 6months mot remaining)
Buyer: it failed the last mot on a warning light on the dash according to the mot history and then passed the same day, did you just take the bulb out?
Me: I didn't have the car then but when you turn the ignition on all the warning lights come on and then go off when you turn on so I'm they obviously fixed whatever the issue was.
Buyer: but it also had 3 other failures.
Me: yes 2 indicator bulbs and a sidelight which were probably replaced for around £5!!!
Buyer: sounds dodgy to me I'll leave it...

Dishwashers come in two shapes...one the standard 600mm wide one, and the other 450mm. I'd have asked too...unless it was obvious in your ad.

Thats a different size not shape!

One's a square (ish), the other's an oblong...

I've considered your D4 as my next purchase on more than one occasion because it's pretty perfect for my lot plus dog but I just can't get past it being grey, although I have softened to it over the years; I'm still not there yet...
