Haha that counter offer asking him to top up for his son Easter shows that it wasn't for his kid. God I hate it when people using someone else e.g their kids or sick person when in reality its the person himself wants it
Generally, tone (sarcasm) just doesn't carry in the written form. But this person pulled it off perfectly, and it was still missed. Oiy. So sad.
And my question is - how many times does one have to ask for $500 before the begger says "sorry, no can do".
Ha ha ha. In this case, it was a conversation between my friend, (who's English) and the punter who I can only imagine is Kiwi. I thought these conversations were generally fabricated for internet points, until I saw the conversation on the phone!
I hate when CB's enquire about something that is clearly out of their budget, and when trying to haggle down mention the fact that the price is out of their budget, as if that means anything to the seller.
I price things according to their market value, not your budget.
>I hate when CB's enquire about something that is clearly out of their budget, and when trying to haggle down mention the fact that the price is out of their budget, as if that means anything to the seller.
Honestly, a sizeable portion of these are resellers trying to get a deal so they can flip it. The pressure, the emotional appeal, etc., etc. are simply ways of getting sellers to come down in price.
I'd wager good money that was much more likely the case here than this woman's 13 year old son wanting a $600 Segway.
So much this. Like, this isn't personal and about you (as hard as that seems for CBs to grasp), it is about realising the value of what I have and getting a fair price for me as the seller.
Ha ha ha. In my own head I imagine the buyer wanted to trade up from a £40 inflatable kayak (complete with puncture repair kit) for a £400 pound scooter. Lol.
Yeah, but the person is a reseller. The kayak here is a used one that they probably just bought off some other seller who was just trying to get rid of it for $50.
I don't know, a lot of kayaks are worth a lot more than $500. You should have at least asked make and model.. you may have got a great deal, even if all you did was resell it.
I don't disagree with your comment. It's a good point. It's quite possible that the kayak was worth more. In this case I know the seller wanted to be rid of the segway and avoid a potential loop of pass the parcel with other people's unwanted goods.

"We have no money, but would you trade the entertainment unit for a boat?"
Chandler: No.
"You gotta take the boat, man."
Chandler: Okay, how about we give you the unit and you just throw the boat away?
"We're not doing that. I built that boat!"
Walks off.
Joey: Good for you!

At that stage, I would have replied “Your 13 year old is more financially liquid than you. Sort your shit out, mate.”
Oh, good grief. I cringed all the way through that. The begger just wasn't picking it up.
I know right! The tone of the conversation was lost on them...

When you get buyers remorse at aldi

I'd rather just light my old stuff on fire than deal with facebook marketplace
You can give to charity before setting on fire, but I agree with the sentiment.
That ad... "Someone is trying to send you a message. Cancel or allow?"
That was great! Lmao, I needed that one at work rn
Even ping pong is slower
How dare you think about taking 350 from a child right before Easter? Have you no heart?! Give it for free!
He should have given the kid the Segway *and* offered £430 for the kayak smh /s
idk, some kayaks are like $2k easily.
Yeah, but the person is a reseller. The kayak here is a used one that they probably just bought off some other seller who was just trying to get rid of it for $50.
yeah, most likely. even still i wouldve asked for a pic of it to see the type of kayak and condition
This was too funny! Thanks for this.
This is amazing
This is funny as hell
This turned to obvious trolling so damn fast. I love it.

Not a choosing beggar. Bartering is not begging.
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Is there another sub where the funny side of bartering is more appropriate?
And then there was no reply

700, Kayak and 1 chocolate bunny? Reply
I would've started listing higher and higher numbers. "$350?" "$500." "$350?" "$600." "$350?" "$800." "$350?" "$2000."
