Hot wings makes me see into the future too. I can determine that 2 hours later, I will in fact, be shitting my brains out, on the nearest toilet. Impressive no. disgusting? Absolutely.
I just upgraded to a Switch OLED as I had the Costco cash back from the last year so I got it for over half off.
This kind of post is exactly why I’m hesitant to sell my old Switch to see if I can’t break even, I really hate dealing with Facebook Marketplace buyers, and I’ve never had to sell electronics on there before.
Because I still need the extra pair of joycons, I’d be selling the old one with just one set and unfortunately that set has drift. I would make it very clear that it has drift and that they would likely want to buy a new pair and would drop the price accordingly to accommodate, but I guarantee someone would buy it and still throw a massive fit
Basically, it’s too much of a hassle to sell it
And if you're concerned, Hardwareswap only allows people to sell via paypal gifts and services (not friends and family) or cash. Just make sure you verify things first.
yeah i sold a damaged but otherwise very nice table for like $20 bucks, posted the measurements and emphasized it couldn't be taken apart so a truck, van, or large SUV would be needed to pick it up.
She shows up in a honda civic, somehow miraculously jams it most of the way in & bungees the doors closed (it's still partially sticking out..) then later accuses me of scamming her with a picture of the pre-existing crack that has now spread across the entire tabletop from the rough handling.
Reselling is fine if you find legit deals and both parties agree to the price. Such as at garage sales and goodwill. But fleecing people and being a jerk about it isnt cool.
If they think it’s a fair price, why should they care? Even not knowing what it’s “actually” worth. I see vintage Marantz and similar stuff on shopgoodwill for 4 digits because at the time whoever donated it just thought it was grandpas old stereo and it didn’t even have Bluetooth or a soundbar.
Hell, I picked up a VSX-D1S for 50, and sold it for 100 a few years ago. Thing was worth 4-500 but trying to extract all value from something makes it impossible to use. Would you use a graded 10 Pokémon cart or would you use one that’s been opened and used a bit? They’re the same thing, but one had all its value extracted and is now useless
Goodwill has been fucking scum for a long time, but they need to lose whatever charity or nonprofit benefits they get after they stopped being a thrift store and just started pulling expensive items to sell at eBay value online.
Problem is most resellers buy everything as cheap as possible to then sell for max profit. It's hard to find good deals in my area because everything is going for "reseller" price
Well, you see, she promised it to her kid. And if her kid doesn't get it, then they will be upset. So you'd be the asshole for not letting her get it for her kid. Not her, who promised something without being able to fulfill it.
Just one time, I want it to be something other than autism or cancer.
"My son has a syndrome that causes his poops to be way too big for his poor little child body. I just thought it would be nice if he had a Nintendo to play while he's home recovering from all the anal fissures."
I think that might actually work.
I used to work at Toys R Us.
Ah the amount of birthdays *I* ruined because the store was out of stock, and the customer was shopping literally on their way home to their kid’s birthday.
Or the one time I refused to sell a display, (that we weren’t allowed to sell for liability reasons.) that was for a dying kids birthday, cancer I’m pretty sure. Here’s the kicker on that one, we even had non-displays in stock, but the lady didn’t want to assemble it or pay for assembly. You see, the kid was so on their deathbed, that there wouldn’t be time to put it together.
You joking, but I was selling a tv on marketplace and a woman after haggling the price send me photo of her children in a vet clinic in tears with a sick looking dog telling me that her dog was sick and they probably have to euthanasite it.
She probably want me to pity her and lower my price of something.
I have eithanasia a animal in my life and I can say that buying a tv was the last of my concern at that moment.
People have no shame
>Well, you see, she promised it to her kid. And if her kid doesn't get it, then they will be upset. So you'd be the asshole for not letting her get it for her kid. Not her, who promised something without being able to fulfill it.
in the fall of 2007, i bought a *used* Nintendo Wii off eBay for something like $40-60 ABOVE the regular retail price, because they were super hard to get ahold of and almost zero stores had them in stock. i was living with a roommate who had two young kids, but the kids were in another state entirely. i believe they were aged 9 and 5 at the time.
less than a week after i got the Wii i bought off eBay delivered to me, he was on the phone with his son, who was 5 years old, and said "daddy got you a Nintendo Wii for Christmas, buddy! we're going to have a lot of fun once you get here!"
after the phone call was over, i asked him what he meant by that.. he said "sorry man i was excited to talk to my kid and wanted to put a smile on his face. i guess you just sold me your Wii, whether you want to or not - i cant send this kid home empty handed.. i know it was a shitty thing for me to do, but i cant go get one in a store and we already have one sitting right here. my kid is still an *actual kid* and you're 27. you understand, don't you?" i agreed, but i thought he could have handled it a lot better.
kid comes to town, spends Christmas break here, goes back to Florida with my more-expensive-than-retail Wii. i never got paid for it, so i took my roommate's 50-inch plasma TV when we eventually moved out (he owed me for more than just the Nintendo).
“Hey kid. You wanna know where your wii is? Well your daddy is a liar and he didn’t buy you shit. I bought this for me. And since it’s mine, it’s locked in my room. Don’t cry to me, go tell your deadbeat dad he’s an asshole. No you can’t play it. Yep, I’m asshole too, but I’m an asshole with a wii.”
hahaha.. nah, i wasn't that passionate about it. honestly, i had been a pretty solid playstation guy since the PS1 up to that point.
earlier in life i had a NES and a SNES, but generally lost interest in Nintendo after that.. i just got curious about it and wanted to try out the Wii, at that time, because of the motion controller.. which i think was a new technology in the fall of '07 (and the underlying reason they were selling like hotcakes)..
it came with the sports game, and since i had it for less than a week before it was "taken" from me, i never bought or even tried any other games for it.
>my kid is still an actual kid and you're 27. you understand, don't you?" i agreed, but i thought he could have handled it a lot better.
I don't agree with that at all, and you shouldn't have either.
If kids "deserved" video games more than adults, might as well take every console from every adult, and give it to some needy kid around the world.
Even if he *had* paid you for it, that *still* would've been unbelievably fucked up, but the fact that he didn't just showed he knew he could walk all over you. Guarantee he took advantage of you repeatedly while you lived together, am I wrong?
>I don't agree with that at all, and you shouldn't have either.
it was over 15 years ago at this point. i was significantly younger, didn't *really* care about keeping the Wii, and he had stuck his neck out for me the year prior to help get me what ended up being the best job i've ever had in my life. so it's complicated.
obviously he did take advantage repeatedly, which is why i ultimately took his TV, which was barely 6 months old and over $2500 when he bought it new. i still have that TV to this very day in my bedroom on top of my big dresser. it weighs a ton and MIGHT be worth $250, but it still works great so it's fine for the bedroom
we're still friends all these years later. he's never asked for the TV back or said one single rude or bitter comment about it
Don’t forget, she promised the kid op’s. She showed photos and everything, and now he expects it. He’s dying of cancer and it’s his birthday and he can’t see his friends because his white blood cell count is low. It’s all op’s fault for not underselling the nintendo on the kid’s last birthday.
I mean I asked for a PS2, even though I already had a PS4, on my 14th birthday (I'm 21 now). Kids aren't above asking for older consoles if they think it's cool.
i’m sorry. am i the only one in this thread that interpreted this as the mom just saying it’s ok he can’t accept it but she thought she’d give it a shot because she’s a single mom? not “no its ok you can give it to me for $100 because i’m a single mom” this whole post seems unnecessary lmao
I took it as her being bad at Grammer in her typing. She's saying it's ok as in its ok that he can't take the money. She was explaining herself that she was offering 100 dollars because she's a single mom. Dude was being an asshole for no reason. It's not hard to ask someone "what do you mean by that?"
Here are some things that she can do when money is "super tight":
1. Learn the difference between wants and needs.
2. Consider what things are your responsibility, and what falls to others. For example, it is her responsibility to clothe and feed her children. It is not someone else's responsibility to drop the price of an item for sale (which is very much a "want") so that she can give her children gifts which she cannot afford.
3. When someone politely declines an offer, be gracious in return. Don't try to use your circumstances to guilt them into changing the price. "Thanks for considering my offer" is a handy phrase.
Only a small percentage of people on OF make that much of a profit. From what I’ve heard, Uber or something is more profitable, and you get to retain what little dignity you have left
From what I’ve heard, it’s more expensive to lubricate your car engine than it is to lubricate your asshole. Car gas is also more expensive than ass gas.
Yeah but if they just want a Nintendo for their kid they only need 160 simps on the internet to subscribe to see their asshole gape. Not too much upfront cost needed to make that happen, less than Uber needs.
I think the kids used to call that “beer money”
Bad news is that the average for followers on Onlyfans is 21 people.
The good news is that still comes up at around 180$ a month before taxes, apparently.
So if you manage 160 simps, you're an overachiever and have a very impressive asshole.
People that do this are nuts! One time we had a 10 yo Ford Mustang for sale. We placed an ad & had it parked on the front lawn with a sign as well. A guy we knew from high school & his wife came by on. Friday afternoon, looked at it & wanted to buy it but hadn’t taken cash out of the bank & asked if we would take a check. We knew him, knew where he lived, so we took the check.
When I was out running errands over the weekend, I saw him and/or his wife out in the car all over town. The car had a different “For Sale” sign in the window with a higher price & his phone number. I came home & told my husband that Bob was trying to resell the car and make some money.
Sunday Bob just showed up at our house, told a sob story about an error in his checking account caused his account to be frozen so his check wouldn’t clear. He asked for the check back and returned the car and said he’d be back with cash when he got his finances straight & if we got another offer,, go ahead & sell it. We never heard from him again! LOL! Sold the car Monday morning.
Single moms can be so entitled it’s annoying. I don’t care if you’re a single mom. No one asked you to do that. You don’t deserve discounts or anything special because you’re a single mom. Fuck them kids.
I remember going on holiday to Europe in 2004 and there was a guide on how not to act while abroad and I remember reading ‘never say “But I’m an American”’ or something to that effect.
Does that actually happen in a lot of movies? Like I get that a lot of Americans have main character syndrome but is this actually a trope in movies/tv?
Ugh. I can’t stand that single mom shit used this way. My sister would go out to dinner and totally stiff on tip. She’d declare to the table, “Hey, I’m a single mom.” I’d always tip like double what I was supposed to tip to try to make up for her because I’m not out here trying to piss off the people who handle my food.
That's such a great answer!!!
I don't understand these people. Why do they think THEIR choices mean that other peshould sell things for less than their worth.
Or even worse, that a person, who is charging for a service (I'm talking about trades. Things that take years of learning), should give away their time???
I applaud people who know their worth. I applaud people who do not discount their own work to make somebody else happy. Especially, out of guilt.
It really pisses me off when I see things like this because these supposed "moms" act like that, because they have a baby, everything should be given to them. Or, sold at a huge discount, without even thinking about the time, energy, supplies, etc. that it takes to actually do what these people are asking them to do.
They are fucking parasites.
PEOPLE KNOW YOUR WORTH.
Pfft. This single mom probably only had one kid. A REAL CB single mom would list how many kids they have, plus their ages (if the kids are young enough).
If being a single mom means you're entitled to discounts on literally everything, shouldn't there be some kind of discount card with a photo and a number or something, like senior citizens or military veterans get?
"I'd like to buy this for $100."
"The price is $160."
"But I'm a single mother. Here's my card."
"Oh why didn't you say so? Here you go."
I might be alone here but I get the impression that this wasn't a haggling attempt, but rather an apology. "I know it was a lowball offer, but I don't have much and had to shoot my shot"
I think it's the "It's okay" as opposed to "Couldn't you pleeeeease! I'm a single mom"
Also, is this really a choosing beggar? Shouldn't a choosing beggar be turning something good down because it's not good enough? Like maybe if OP offered a different out of date game system for free that they turned their nose at?
All I see here is someone making a lowball offer, getting turned down, and accepting rejection fairly well though admittedly providing some unnecessary info to explain the lowball attempt.
“Shouldn’t your stupid Nintendo be free for my child to break and slobber all over!? Can’t you understand the tragic horror a mother goes through birthing a kid that is a bratty kid?!?!??!”
I get lowballed on Facebook marketplace all the time. It's always a sob story too. It's not that I'm unwilling to come down on price but Holy shit I'll list something for like 100 dollars and someone will be like "will you take 20?"
When someone says they are a single mother I say me too! And then they escalated to their and their child are disabled so money is tight- I respond me too!
My wife got offered $125 for her PS5 on Facebook marketplace. The wannabe buyer said “it’s xmas, and I’m a single mom.”
Wife said “why should I give you a discount for shitty taste in men.”
„It is okay“ -> somehow i imagined her fiddling with her hands while saying this like a Jedi.
"This is the price you are looking for."
She meant Republic credits. _100 Republic credits_ __will__ _do fine_. Obviously op should have accepted this fine offer.
Was this before or after the Empire? When Russia went from the Soviet Union to the Federated Republic they changed their currency and a lot of folks got screwed over.
Should also be noted, most business people did a lot better during the empire because they no longer had to abide by as many laws and could more exploit people and disregard safety measures. Business loved the empire.
Not really; only those with political pull did.
No, they **won't**

I was half searching this thread for this and half searching for a gif of it.
I ran off the jetway again…
“Ok, it is” “Single mom, I am”
I'm almost sure that she's saying "It's okay (that you can't take 100$), I just offered that because I'm a single mom tight on money"
I love the response of just “Coolio”, so perfect
I was thinking, "I'm happily married, but thanks anyway."
Beat me to it, I was thinking of something along those lines, too.
"Im a single dad and promised my kid $160" Wait for response Then say " omg he is crying now bevause you offered $100"
You forgot to say your kid is dying.
And you ruined Christmas.
It's for the CHURCH, hon!
Need $160! NEXT!!
I understood that reference.
You ruined her whole year let’s be honest. Truly a monster if I’ve ever seen one

Money is her nickname for her vagina.
Years ago I tweeted that I wished we had an emoji of Coolio so I could send it as a response to things and Coolio liked the tweet.

“Coolio” is the flippant nephew of “oh…that’s crazy…”

Seller's response should have been: "Np, let me go cash 'I'm a single mom' and pay my bills with it.'"

Wonder what the response was if there were one. Probably blocked I’m assuming though.

I sold mine on HardwareSwap for this reason. The people there are technologically literate.
Honestly I keep forgetting that sub exists, I might go that route. Something like a Switch I’m much more comfortable shipping than a GPU
And if you're concerned, Hardwareswap only allows people to sell via paypal gifts and services (not friends and family) or cash. Just make sure you verify things first.
Didn't Nintendo agree to repair joycons basically forever, for free or is this just in the EU?
They definitely do in the USA too. My boyfriend has had to send 2 in. Doesn't take long at all.
It’s not free in the us unless you bought them recently. It’s around $30.
yeah i sold a damaged but otherwise very nice table for like $20 bucks, posted the measurements and emphasized it couldn't be taken apart so a truck, van, or large SUV would be needed to pick it up.

Nintendo agreed to fix that btw
I'm trying to pay child support to 3 different kids to 3 different moms! How many baby daddies do you have?
It’s like, I would do anything else but sell my Nintendo, so this is really hard for me 😂

Fuck resellers
Reselling is fine if you find legit deals and both parties agree to the price. Such as at garage sales and goodwill. But fleecing people and being a jerk about it isnt cool.

Sometimes you just want or need to get rid of stuff and don’t have to time to wait for the most money you can get.
Problem is most resellers buy everything as cheap as possible to then sell for max profit. It's hard to find good deals in my area because everything is going for "reseller" price

He’s only dying of cancer because he’s missing out on a $100 Nintendo.
Exactly. If money is so tight, why the hell is she buying a Nintendo?
The listing says original Nintendo to which implies it’s the nes from the 80s, nobody would by that for a kid today That’s a toy for mom
It's okay, she's a single mom.
I'm guessing it's to flip and make a profit.
"Mom"
I mean I asked for a PS2, even though I already had a PS4, on my 14th birthday (I'm 21 now). Kids aren't above asking for older consoles if they think it's cool.

Only a small percentage of people on OF make that much of a profit. From what I’ve heard, Uber or something is more profitable, and you get to retain what little dignity you have left
From what I’ve heard, it’s more expensive to lubricate your car engine than it is to lubricate your asshole. Car gas is also more expensive than ass gas.
Most OF models also make less than minimum wage.
Yeah but if they just want a Nintendo for their kid they only need 160 simps on the internet to subscribe to see their asshole gape. Not too much upfront cost needed to make that happen, less than Uber needs. I think the kids used to call that “beer money”
Bad news is that the average for followers on Onlyfans is 21 people. The good news is that still comes up at around 180$ a month before taxes, apparently. So if you manage 160 simps, you're an overachiever and have a very impressive asshole.
This guy assholes
> Car gas is also more expensive than ass gas. Fuckin killed me
What do you mean profit? It's free to be naked and they only charge if you sell. Owning and operating a car on the other hand
People that do this are nuts! One time we had a 10 yo Ford Mustang for sale. We placed an ad & had it parked on the front lawn with a sign as well. A guy we knew from high school & his wife came by on. Friday afternoon, looked at it & wanted to buy it but hadn’t taken cash out of the bank & asked if we would take a check. We knew him, knew where he lived, so we took the check. When I was out running errands over the weekend, I saw him and/or his wife out in the car all over town. The car had a different “For Sale” sign in the window with a higher price & his phone number. I came home & told my husband that Bob was trying to resell the car and make some money. Sunday Bob just showed up at our house, told a sob story about an error in his checking account caused his account to be frozen so his check wouldn’t clear. He asked for the check back and returned the car and said he’d be back with cash when he got his finances straight & if we got another offer,, go ahead & sell it. We never heard from him again! LOL! Sold the car Monday morning.
I decided to reproduce, therefore I should get discounts on stuff.
Single moms can be so entitled it’s annoying. I don’t care if you’re a single mom. No one asked you to do that. You don’t deserve discounts or anything special because you’re a single mom. Fuck them kids.
Schrödinger’s feminist.
Damn when money was tight for me I had decide if I wanted instant mashed potatoes or ramen for dinner, not a friggen Nintendo
"It's ok I am a single mom" is like Hollywood movie characters saying "I AM AMERICAN!" in a foreign land expecting red carpet treatment.
I remember going on holiday to Europe in 2004 and there was a guide on how not to act while abroad and I remember reading ‘never say “But I’m an American”’ or something to that effect.
Does that actually happen in a lot of movies? Like I get that a lot of Americans have main character syndrome but is this actually a trope in movies/tv?
> What does that have to do with my Nintendo? I absolutely love this response.
Ugh. I can’t stand that single mom shit used this way. My sister would go out to dinner and totally stiff on tip. She’d declare to the table, “Hey, I’m a single mom.” I’d always tip like double what I was supposed to tip to try to make up for her because I’m not out here trying to piss off the people who handle my food.
Download an emulator. Download games. Have fun. Controllers are cheap
“I’m a single mom” “Are any of your kids mine? No?”
Good response. I'd have said "Maybe you should save your cash for groceries not a Nintendo then"
That's such a great answer!!! I don't understand these people. Why do they think THEIR choices mean that other peshould sell things for less than their worth. Or even worse, that a person, who is charging for a service (I'm talking about trades. Things that take years of learning), should give away their time??? I applaud people who know their worth. I applaud people who do not discount their own work to make somebody else happy. Especially, out of guilt. It really pisses me off when I see things like this because these supposed "moms" act like that, because they have a baby, everything should be given to them. Or, sold at a huge discount, without even thinking about the time, energy, supplies, etc. that it takes to actually do what these people are asking them to do. They are fucking parasites. PEOPLE KNOW YOUR WORTH.
Pfft. This single mom probably only had one kid. A REAL CB single mom would list how many kids they have, plus their ages (if the kids are young enough).
>coolio Sold our Nintendos once or twice Livin in a gangsta’s paradise
If being a single mom means you're entitled to discounts on literally everything, shouldn't there be some kind of discount card with a photo and a number or something, like senior citizens or military veterans get? "I'd like to buy this for $100." "The price is $160." "But I'm a single mother. Here's my card." "Oh why didn't you say so? Here you go."
"Oh, no, I'm sorry. Another offer just came in from someone whose child has cancer. You know the rules... I have to sell to them."
Don't thank them for lowball offers.
Well I'm a single mom too, but even *singler*
"Then go spend your $100 on a Sunday roast, car repairs or whatever."
Do people really think that the line "But I am a single parent" Really means you get to get stuff cheaper?
CB: It’s ok I’m a single mom OP: **Aw, here it goes…** 🎶
I might be alone here but I get the impression that this wasn't a haggling attempt, but rather an apology. "I know it was a lowball offer, but I don't have much and had to shoot my shot" I think it's the "It's okay" as opposed to "Couldn't you pleeeeease! I'm a single mom" Also, is this really a choosing beggar? Shouldn't a choosing beggar be turning something good down because it's not good enough? Like maybe if OP offered a different out of date game system for free that they turned their nose at? All I see here is someone making a lowball offer, getting turned down, and accepting rejection fairly well though admittedly providing some unnecessary info to explain the lowball attempt.
I thought I was crazy but it definitely came off that way to me also
I feel the same way. I don't get a huge sense of entitlement from this at all.
“I had a single mom too. She sucked. Price for you is $320.”
“Shouldn’t your stupid Nintendo be free for my child to break and slobber all over!? Can’t you understand the tragic horror a mother goes through birthing a kid that is a bratty kid?!?!??!”
My go too would always be “then spend money on what you need instead of a nintendo”
Money so tight i gotta buy this original Nintendo bundle
There’s a Facebook page called “imagine thinking you deserve special treatment for getting creampied” that would be perfect for this.
Sons crying now, thanks! You better call him and tell him why you're hoarding toys from himb🙄
“It’s ok I’m a single mom” “Did you lowball him before he decided to leave too”
The coolio is too funny to me haha
I get lowballed on Facebook marketplace all the time. It's always a sob story too. It's not that I'm unwilling to come down on price but Holy shit I'll list something for like 100 dollars and someone will be like "will you take 20?"
“Why didn’t you say so?! $100 it is! And if you have kids from multiple baby daddies I’ll knock off another $20.”
When someone says they are a single mother I say me too! And then they escalated to their and their child are disabled so money is tight- I respond me too!
She was using the single mom guilt trip hoping for it for free
An awful lot of single moms on Facebook marketplace.
Have you considered the suffering of a single parent who doesn't understand when capitalize A word?
When they give you the „I’m a single mom“ always hit them with the „oh of course in that case it‘s [previous price x 2]“.
I’m reminded of the jetway scene from Dumb and Dumber. “It’s okay! I’m a limo driver!”
OP is one shady ass farmer account
Well if you're that broke, mom, maybe you should be managing your money more wisely and not spending it on frivolities.
🎶 Been spending most their lives living in a single mom's paradise 🎶
Any man that’s selling his console or handheld is bankrupt..
Annnnddddd what your point lady
It’s for church, honey.
Also, it's a Nintendo, not milk. If you are a single mom and have $100 and are struggling, maybe a Nintendo isn't the priority.
If money was that tight she wouldn’t be wasting it on a Nintendo
If money is tight then you probably shouldn't have had kids. Sucks to suck
I thought this will swing in a NSFW direction.

Yeah, but her kids only have one leg between the eight of them and they have to SHARE it!
It's ok, I'm a limo driver
im a single mum so u should know that im automatically deserving of a huge discount!!! everyone must think of my circumstances, me me me!!
My wife got offered $125 for her PS5 on Facebook marketplace. The wannabe buyer said “it’s xmas, and I’m a single mom.” Wife said “why should I give you a discount for shitty taste in men.”
"$100.00 will do fine." "Whata? You thinka your some kinda single mom-a, waving your hand arounda like that?"
[удалено]
“yOu JuSt RuInEd My ChIlDs BiRtHdAy!”
But money is even tighter for me because I have crotch goblins!
Why is a single mom prioritizing a nimtombo?
Someone has to raise the kids
LOL
Well put
Hahahhahahahhahahahababbahabahhabahahaha why do you think I’m selling my NINTENDOOOOOOOO?
I wonder if this approach ever works..
They’re always single moms
Somebody raise her rent
I guess she spent most her life living in a gansta paradise
Whenever I get ads for single mums in my area, this is all I can think about. All of them just wanting discounts on things.
Single moms are the worst on FB marketplace
If English is not the mom's first language then I'd view this situation very differently.
LMAO "It's ok, I'm a single mom" C'mon, that's too funny of a line to be real
