    This is absolute gold right here!! This right here is actually why I don't, never have, and never will sell anything privately. I would rather donate anything I don't want to the good will and move on with my life. I was once donating a bunch of stuff to good will and a guy walking buy asked how much for the chairs and table. I said "Well they are not for sale, I'm just donating them". He then said he wanted to take them (if they are free) and I said sure but he has to talk them that moment as my friend with his truck is only available today. So if this guy bails on me I'm stuck with this crap. This guy went on this crazy sob story about how he is broke and this table and chairs is exactly what he needs for his family etc. etc. He PROMISED he would be back to tomorrow to get them. How could I say no? You guessed it he never showed up and I had to sit on them for another few months. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I feel a lot better now:)

      ⁠@@samueldavis5895Tbh if you already have all that old 18v Dewalt stuff, $25 for an extra drill and batt isn’t a terrible deal. Plus on marketplace you could probably get them down to $15 if you actually send an offer and don’t just ask if it’s still available. Or if you have all those batteries already and your drill died, $15/$25 beats buying a brand new one with different batts for $140+
      My dad has one of those older Dewalt drills still and the motor in it still works awesome. So I don’t know where you’re buying your power tools for smoking deals but hook me up I guess if $25 is a lot for a drill.

      Oh my word, yes! The worst was one several years ago, my wife and I were selling a table. Lady contacts us, asks several questions. Says she wants to buy it, we negotiate over the price, reach an agreement. Agrees to meet at a specific place & specific time. I pack up the table, which barely fits in the back of our car, drive to the place, wait there 45 minutes. She gave me her cell phone so I texted her; got replies the previous day, but on the day I show up she is completely nonresponsive ghosting me 100% and ignores every single message. My final message to her was something like “thanks for wasting my time“ 🙄 Never apologized.

    One of my favorite moves on marketplace is to find something I need at a fair price close enough that I can pick it up. Then my opening message to the seller is “I’d like to pick this up between 6:30 and 7:00 this evening if that works for you.”
    They can then tell me someone else is already coming to get it, agree to the pickup time, or whatever.. The point is I get something I want at a fair price and no hassle for either of us. Marketplace is awesome for buyers.

Usually it sells and usually for more than I demanded (I always sell as an auction but I'm happy to go with the starting price). And sure I offer shipping, not a big deal as long as the other person pays for it. I always have shipping boxes lying around from my own mail orders, just put the stuff into a box, fix it with some tape or add some old papers for stuffing, print the shipping badge myself (ebay offers me to buy one online and print it at home, it gets deducted from what the other person has paid, which included the shipping fees anyway) and drop it next time I go grocery shopping or at a gas station when filling up or hand it over to the delivery guy when I get an order myself.

      @YeshuaKingMessiah It only takes 1 bad spple. The estate sale (garage sale) was the main concern. That truly does bring in all kinds. Selling specific items isn't so bad, but then I find myself wasting time haggling over $5.

    Last guy had a good point. If someone say will you take a trade I always say yes, for cash.

    I mostly just buy on Marketplace and as a buyer my most disliked experience is NOT asking "is this still available" and typing up a well drawn-out sentence only to get back "sorry, it's sold".
    Hence, the birth of the "is this still available"-dude.

    Thank you for reminding me I don't need or want Facebook even for marketplace. That would be the only reason.

    Marketplace should change their name to Scammers Depot. At least the name would be true. They are no better than Craigslist.
    In the video, I liked the last part the most. Where the guy said “you’re trying to rip me off. I’m still laughing at that.😂

    Holy hell that was accurate. There's also the reverse of this...people selling items at retail prices which are obviously used.

      @DeAthWaGer 6 місяців тому +1

      Used, incomplete, and comes with random parts that don't go with it.
      "I think this is for it"...
      No, that is a wrench for an orbital sander, not a drill chuck.

    • @jonathanzappala
      @jonathanzappala 6 місяців тому +2

      They don’t respond to that question because it’s dumb. Click on the box and type something in, they are ignoring you most of the time because you asked that.
