suzook12 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Don't know if it's lockdown or whatever but I am getting severely pissed off with the average dumbf**k one encouters when trying to sell stuff on fb or ebay lately! So many armchair experts that know jack sh*t. Just to top it off, some guy asking about a problem on his bike, gave him the verdict them some arsehole comes up shouting down and giving out entirely the wrong information.... Normally I can tolerate this, but just lately it's getting to me...... Is it just me?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the older I get the less tolerant I become. At your age I’m surprised you've held out so long. 🤣 suzook12 and captin slows old outlaw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy135 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Opinions are like arseholes unfortunately, but it does seem like lockdown has encouraged more people to talk out of theirs... suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I’ve been kicked off 2 Facebook groups about shark fishing as I pointed out that instead of paying £££££ for “special” wire you can use normal stuff for 16p/m. These clowns charging people £20 for a rig when it only costs £2 weren’t too happy... Some right shit being talked about with engines too.... apparently my boat must do 10l/mile.... when I disagree I’m told I do t k ow what I’m on about.... erm.... I just fill the tanks 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think lockdown is driving people round the bend... suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 No its not just you, I have lost count the times I have gone to reply to peeps who I think have got it wrong only to delete from my pc before I posted. I just can't be doing with a crap attack from those that think they know it all when I know I do lol. Seriously though like you if I don't know 100% I don't post anything so can't understand why others do post duff info suzook12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Selling stuff these days is full of joy lol, seems not only whatever is you are selling is only worth 20p and a packet of cheese and onion crisps, or swap for a ps4 and a pack pf digestive biscuits..... It seems you are expected to haggle yourself for them, pay for them to turn a 30 year old bike into a minter, and reply to every stupid offer that they honestly think they are going to get it for..... I have a bike up for £925 and they expect me to answer every 425 cash today message, one yesterday sent me a pic of a similar bike he'd picked up for £800 that was like new.... He went quiet when I sent hiim a link to the very same bike on ebay for £2195!! This is the 2nd bike I'm selling so this has been ongoing for 4 weeks or so...... Aaaaaaah!!!

DINOBOY Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 got rid of Facebook its full of complete asshats! they all want everything for nothing then put it back up for sale for a shitload more, I got sick of dickheads asking 'whats your best price' when its clearly priced well to sell as theres no extra fees ect like on eBay. suzook12 and OrkneyCorkney 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 Yep.... 2 are now gone, one to finish rebuilding then that can go too..... I had a lad that was moaning because he took the first one to bits then couldn't get it to go again, he then put it together badly and caused a head issue, then sent me a message yesterday that he had sold it for £400 more than I sold it to him for and only spent £70...... I'm like do I even care? I got what I wanted, sold as seen, goodbye... Only one more lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
