Ha Ha Ha! That would elicit a Huge FU from me!

I don't let strangers use my tools. Only family and close friends use my tools. and some of them are questionable. Shocked

And I already have a set of junk seats that need work.

Little follow through, no shows, and lots of low ballers thinking they are at a flea market.

IF a asking price is listed and someone offers 1/2 that amount, I generally ask them if they are going to go to their job and work for half their pay..

If I was looking for 1/2 the price, I would list it at 1/2 the price.

Funniest one I've has so far was a guy who wanted to buy some nice seats I had.
His offer was to buy mine ONLY if I would sell for 1/2 the price AND buy his torn up seats in the exchange, ALONG WITH allowing him to use my shop and tools to change out the seats!!!

They are just being themselves. It gets worse some people would prepare food for you without washing their hands or fart in a common area, cheat you, steal from you.

Last Thursday I placed an add To sell my Toyota truck on autotrader.com great it’s easy and fast. Within 20 minutes I had a bite. We agreed on price later that evening 10pm he texted saying he was 500 dollars short and would that be a problem? I blocked that asshole but others followed some offering 2000 less than asking price. Monday a local man showed interest and it was one of the easiest transactions I’ve ever made. Not everyone is an A hole. I got my price 😀 He got a decent truck. Don’t give up on people.

I’ve seen the same thing happen here too. But only once.

I don’t exist on Facebook or any other sites like that. And I guess that’s on me. But with most of the other websites I used to visit disappearing and dying off in favour of Facebook, I’m glad I can still come here and hang out with people I like. And other types of people too.
