The Trade Me questions thread

[The Lone Rider]

More recently got something along the lines of

"Buy now?"

Reply: No there's no buy now as you can see. What are you offering.

Then I got two more before I could reply, one saying "$140" then 2nd saying "Actually if it's not new $100 because they cost $180 new"

Reply: Sounds like you should buy a new one then.




Please.. someone draw up a captain obvious cartoon.

''What colour cream is it - shade is it a grey cream or a butter cream. is it the shade of rice or ricebubbles''

Not such a dumb question in hindsight...once had a customer who wanted the carpet to match her dog!

Checked account today. For some reason, a buyer has only paid postage (no purchase price) and the postage paid was made in two deposits.

I was sellling my Giant Road Bike. In my ad I had frame size medium, top tube length 54cm, seat tube length 50cm, would suit rider 175-180cm tall. This information was included along with the other features of the bike.

First question was what size is the bike. I did not answer this one.
Second question was what size is the bike. I did not answer this one.

Fourth question was my partner is 5'7" tall would this suit her. My answer - Can those people wanting information about the frame size please go to this link - and I included my ads http address.

I think your maths is off........and they had a right to ask questions.

54cm = 21" = Large frame.........

My brother did that, dogs shed a lot, and it'll blend if the carpet is the same color! It's not just so the dog can just stealth camo around and demolish thieves...

I think that post puts you in the same league as those asking questions. Read it again. Top tube 54cm, seat tube 50cm, 50cm = 19.5" = medium frame.

Selling bikes is arse, you advertise it as a medium and someone asks if it will fit their pygmy cousin, thats when I resort to http://lmgtfy.com

Continuing with my above one...

Today I got from the buyer an email that demonstrated they had no idea what they had done.

Had to step by step explain the amount originally quoted for postage was for non-tracking, and what they asked for was tracking which is X. Then I had to further explain that the amount they had paid only was enough for X and they had not paid Y for the actual item.

The reply back was they had paid the additional amount of Z...

Once again being the wrong amount.

Got one this week.
Buyer asks if I will deliver to local Main freight depo for transit to Whanganui.
Me,,yep no problem.
Next day he asks if I will drop off at Peter Baker trans instead.
Me,,yep no problem.
Next day he asks if I will now drop at TOLL instead.
Me,,, yep no problem,,,but then there's also Bullet,Owens,Redfern,Te Kauwhata trans,and several others in south AK so I hope he makes up his mind some time soon.
After all he's paid for it so I'd like to see him get it before he bad rep's me for late delivery.

[The Lone Rider]

Yeah, you get that. Fucktards who mess around and then complain it's taking too long.



Had a lot of grief this week with buyers being fuckin stupid.

Last night I got an email at 11:33pm asking to pick up an item the very next morning.



This is the same guy who took three days to reply to the first email he was sent, then when I sent him my work schedule he waits 5 days and emails me when most people are in bed (or in my case I had just sat down for dinner).

I replied to this late night email, saying that he had given me to little notice to come the next day and he had the last 5 days to arrange it. I suggested he pick another time as the schedule I had given him was still valid.

The reply back was

"shove it.are u . a hog member.you sound like a akward seller.and looking at the fender you dont know how to roll a guard
.as im a good trader i dnt care what feed back u give me cause ill write how bad trader and how hard you.were to areage pickup.bad trader"

Did they not give you the tracking number?

I only don't give them the tracking number when they claim they didnt get it, yet when I put in the track it says it was signed for by them!
