Some of the ones on his list were 18 year old really rough dirt bikes and mine was a two year old road bike with ABS, heated grips, etc! And I got bloody sick of the emails from people saying "FYI one just like this was in my local bike shop for ages and sold recently for $8000" - big deal, it wasn't MY bike and it wasn't in the same condition or with the same low mileage and all the options!
    Yep! There sure are some tossers on TardMe. You put up all the relevant information that is necessary and they still can't read your add and ask the questions over and over again. One of the most annoying is "why are you selling this?" Like it is relevant or any of their damn business. These dickheads continually ask stupid questions but never place any bids on auctions. My guess is that they also go into shops and retailers with the "why are you selling this?" question but never buy.
    Usually a genuine buyer will only ask for viewing or contact details and then ask questions if the article or vehicle is what he or she is looking for. These people are good to deal with and you usually make a satisfactory sale.

    Whats the traders name?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    If anyones interested I have 3 x 2ft tanks and assorted filters/heaters etc available free to any interested KB member (pickup only). Ideal beginner or quarantine tanks.
    Yeah I trim the plants every week (mostly the giant hygrophylla - it's definitely a weed!) The lights are just bathroom heat lamp fittings with energy-saver fluorescent bulbs in cool white (6500k). They're way cheaper than the fluoro tubes, although I have some of those now too.

    And Mom knows this and still married you
    It's been a rough day. I got up this morning, put on a shirt and a button fell off.
    As I ran out the door, I picked up my briefcase, and the handle came off.
    Now I'm afraid to go to the bathroom.

    If you don't reply that soon I might cancel the business with you. thanks
    anyway for the effort
    ______________________________________________

    What an obnoxious person! If I don't reply to his email within 3 hours (on a sunny Sunday) he starts threatening to cancel the transaction. The last thing I want to do now is give him my phone number and address (the auction clearly stated the fish was to be picked up by the buyer).

    I think I'd better calm down before I reply.
    Maybe this Guy was Hungry??

    Had been smoking Wakey Backey all night and had a Bad Case of the Munchies....

    Soooo sori but I don't see your point??

    So "why are you selling this?" isn't a relevant question when purchasing a vehicle? Personally I think most Tardme sellers are lazy and frustrating with the lack of detail they put on auctions. If they thought about the questions purchases are likely to ask and put them on their auctions in the first place they'd save a lot of hassle. You know, ads selling bikes without Km, WOF, servicing or "how long have you owned it" details.

    It is relevant, but pointless, because it can always be answered simply by saying "I need the money". Noone's going to say "Because I have found $BAD_THING wrong with it, and want to get shut of it ". If the seller were that honest they'd admit the defect up front.

    You can say that again! The only bad experience I've had (so far) was some crazy trader who gave me a red face saying I had deliberately given them a PO Box address and so they had to drive 50kms to the nearest Post Shop and btw he/she had cancer... I had given them neutral feedback b/c they had done a really shit job of packaging what I bought.

    I also don't get traders that get your payment and then won't post any feedback until you have...what's with that?

    So klingon - have you heard back from the buyer?
    My goal in life is to be as good a person as my dog already thinks I am.
