Who's arranging finance for their trademe buyers?

[Bassmatt]

Somebody must be.
I'm selling my bike on it and people keep making "cash offers". WTF?

[Tazz]

Lucky! I keep on getting offered turnips and worn thrice womens undergarments, all XL size mind.

Seems to be standard these days, if you advertise something for $1000 the first response is 'Give u $500 csh 2nyt bro'

As opposed (I can only assume), to payment in potatoes or other such produce, or a ps4 + 2 games + broken iphone 5

I find it much easier to just ignore these people.

I have offered to before.
My finance company was keen to reward me for forwarding them a new client and I was keen to make 10k a less onerous purchase.
No risk to me.
I don't have to pay early settlement on my finance contract.
I get paid cash monies of about half the commission an mta would get when the buyer makes their first payment.

Seemed pretty win win to me.


Circumstance changes meant I withdrew the bike from sale for another four years then offered finance again but buyer paid 6k cash.

I got a couple of silly "cash" offers when selling a car recently. I just ignored them.

For some reason there's a certain section of society that believes the folding stuff is somehow way better than a bank transfer. I can't understand the logic.

I chucked my bike up at an over inflated price, so when someone low balls me I'll say yes. They think they score a bargain and I get the price I want.

Because that section of society always has more money in their wallet ... than they do in their bank account.

To me - the phrase Cash in hand includes a bank transfer, but symbolizes that they don't need to fuck around to raise funds. If I was going to be a big ticket item on Trademe, sure I would make sure I could get the cash when needed, but most likely I would need to take a couple of days either transferring from a savings fund or arranging a loan etc.

If someone is after a quick sale (to turn assets into cash) then being offered a slightly lower price but with the guarantee of Cash that day maybe appealing. Certainly some people take the piss in their Low-Balling, but can't fault them for asking.

Wait till Akzle sees your Add. The offer will be $5 and a bag of chips.

On a more serious note; some people's "pay cash" means simply no hassle. No bank transfer "clearance" waiting time, no "pay half now, rest next month" no bullshit, simply "pay today, ride away".

This condition is known as "nigger rich"

[R650R]

I have PayNow so they can use their credit cards but thinking of a way to surcharge for that as they steal as much as TM does....

Two things for sure, people who make dumb offers or ask stupid questions will never actually buy your item or even bid on it. I routinely block/blacklist traders soon as they ask something dumb.
I love to send out Fixed price offers about 10-20% above what the buynow or start equals reserve price was hehe....

[Mike.Gayner]

It has definitely been my observation that people who ask the most questions in the Q&A of an auction never bid. These people shouldn't be given minimal time and attention.
