Most stupid message while flogging a shiter

[High Jetter]

I fugging love this thread!

[Split_Pin]

Not a shiter but I thought it was in the spirit of the thread:

Not reading the listing fully before contacting: CHECK

Asking a question where the answer depends on an infinite variable: CHECK

Did they buy it?: NO

After about 3 days I just message back asking if that wasn’t the answer they were looking for ?

[sierraman]

I think sometimes they don’t actually want to buy it, they just want to know if you are still trying to sell it.

[Dave_Q]

The FB app doesn't really help, if you press the message seller button it's already preloaded with Is it still available? so you could conceivably accidentally press those exact two buttons and pocket send.

 

In fact I go out of my way to not use this message even if I am asking if it's still there to help the seller know I'm a human not a knobend

this 100% 

I just don’t know why people waste their own time doing that.

I always edit it for the same reason. It’s just a bit more personable, so long as you don’t go ‘what’s your best price’...

They do the same for that there London, a bit more geographical accuracy would be useful 

Some fuckwit said London, I asked which part , it's a big place.... 

Chesham , Buckinghamshire, 27 miles north west of London....twat

[sutty2006]

Think I’ll be blocking this one too. Seam to be getting a lot of travellers wives messaging me about the caravan all of a sudden. This one’s fit, so need to protect myself. 

[Pieman]

I reckon a lot of the time, they show interest so they can find your location and then come and nick it.

[stripped fred]

I think they send messages to lots of people and they can't remember who they've messaged. They're also not that interested unless the price is low so they can turn it around to make a profit.

[maxxo]

not a shiter

but last month i had the joys of trying to sell a mobile phone on marketplace

yeah sod that

sold it to a friend in the end, nice and easy transaction with a normal functioning human

god marketplace is crap

i've even had sellers give me discount for actually turning up when i said i would and actually paying

Not stupid but annoying, particularly as it's on here!

Unfortunately there are more than a couple of messers on here, I've had a couple who agreed to buy then go quiet ignoring messages whilst continuing to post and another who is bloody impossible to buy a car off even when I've said I have the cash and can be there in an hour or so, for two separate vehicles on two different occasions which have been advertised for sale, sadly the forum isn't moron free either but I guess that's the law of averages.

True, I shouldn't be moaning, this place has a lower moron rate than most places!   Onwards and upwards; I'll stick an ad for it up shortly.  Their loss could be someone else's gain*.

You were waaaay too polite. I'd at least have left the knobber's forum name on display...

There's enough information there to work it out.......... 

[RoverFolkUs]

A few that I've stumbled across online to keep you all occupied!

one click on @BeEP’s profile shows the person visited his profile on 30th June 😂

[High Jetter]

It is somewhat over-used, currently. It's almost as though people don't know it's meaning.

I'm literally LOLing at "Where from but how" 😆 Sounds a bit like Shakespeare 😆

I was trying to buy a spares car to pick up this weekend as the MOT on it would be out next week. 
The whole “selling for a mate” thing - I thought was a ploy for plausible deniability of any issues, but I’ve never had it go so far as this guy, who effectively doesn’t know if what he’s selling is even for sale!
