My biggest gripe is when people feel entitled to 20-30 bucks off. Why? Because they have to drive to get my item.
My feeling is if you want my item, you come and get it. I'm not responsible for the gas nor the time it takes you to drive here and get it. Show me you're serious about buying my stuff and come get it. I don't want to take the chance that you don't show if I agree to meet you somewhere.
Incidentally, I DO knock off around 20 for gas if the buyer was courteous and presented themselves well through our communications and asks for it. I DO want your business, after all.
Again, it's the entitlement part I am most peeved about.

 

[dmc69]

Oh man... Asterix and Obelix. Brings back good memories.

 

[dmc69]

Conversation today I had with someone. The self entitlement is real.

Guy: Will you sell this for [lowball price]?
Me: Sorry, no
Guy: Why do you bother listing it if you won't sell it for [lowball]? ... I'll buy someone else's guitar!

For fuck's sake, you ask me a yes or no question and I declined, stop sucking on your thumb and deal with it! Thin skinned people getting offended when their low offer gets declined and then trying to school me on if his offer is low or not.

Squire Bullet Stratocaster | guitares | Ville de Montréal | Kijiji

If it was close to me, I would have taken a gander. You never know if you will play in a ZZ top tribute band one day.

 

[dmc69]

Not Kijiji, but the Acoustic Guitar Forum. So many buzz words for a MIM Partscaster. The dude is either a really really bad used car salesman or clueless. He at one point thought the lefty neck was original to the guitar and thinks all lefty necks are CBS style headstocks. ONLY $695USD guys! Get on it guyzzzz.

For Sale: FENDER STRATOCASTER - PRE-65 SMALL HEADSTOCK LEFTY NECK- 2005 Maroon Red. $695 - The Acoustic Guitar Forum

 

[dmc69]

I replied. I couldn't help myself.

^)@#

Seems like the guys on that forum are even more polite than we are, not even calling the dude out for his blatant bullshit.

 

[dmc69]

That same store had a fake Les Paul in there for the longest time, priced high even for a legit used LP.

I was in there one day looking at their used video games and figured out it was a fake within 30 seconds. I mentioned that fact to them and they claimed that their 'guitar guy' had verified that it was genuine. I told them that, if that had really happened, their guitar guy was a complete idiot who didn't know the first thing about Gibson guitars and then showed them all the signs of a fake. They ignored me and the thing stayed up.

Their used video games are overpriced too so I go elsewhere for those.

I will be driving past the store in a couple of hours, maybe I should go point out to them why that guitar isn't worth $22k. Or screw it, let the delusional bastards keep it in inventory forever.

I remember when you could actually get a good deal at that store. I bought a Traynor YCV50 Blue for $360, taxes included.

 

[dmc69]

Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. I'm selling something, I told the guy it's first come first serve. I will not wait on someone who offers me less than asking price and does not have a firm day to come and pick up. I gave him a heads up that today someone is coming to check it out. You know, it's probably courteous to update a potential buyer. He goes on this rant:

So absolutely fucking sick of craigslist and people in the GTA
all fucking morons
no edicat
no manners
stiffing people all the time
telling someone its yours
then someone else is coming to get it
really
fuck you
keep it
thank god for my US counterparts
and thats why I buy US
maybe he wont even buy it tonight

Since when is something yours when you have not purchased it? Gave me a good laugh out of it, and I couldn't resist replying.

Lol. Have a good one.

His reply:

What part of move on didnt you understand

I really couldn't help it. one more reply.

LOL. You're the one getting mad. I said have a good day.

His comeback was so good, I may have gotten butthurt for a second.

Stretch.....................yawn.....................sorry did you say something

Long story short, if you guys run into Audio FX Recording Studios, be ready to deal with a 12 year old who knows a thing or two about EDICAT.

 

[dmc69]

I just looked the guy up. Wow, he does give off the same vibe.

 

[dmc69]

Update: the other guy bought the item an hour ago. It looks like Mr. Audio FX's curse upon me didn't work.

 

[dmc69]

I found nothing...

If you google Michael Fuller Fulltone, you will find within the first few results the kind of "service" he provides his customers. Telling them off, cussing at them, etc...

 

[dmc69]

Oh I thought they found something about Audio FX Recording Studios. I have read about Fuller.

Audio FX Recording Studios isn't big enough to have rants against him. This may very well be the first. When you google Audio FX Recording Studio, on the right hand side, it'll show you a google map location of where they are... and it's a residential house.

 

[dmc69]

Is it just me or did we recently get a new, larger wave of idiots quoting things that aren't the same as the item you're selling, and then demanding we lower our prices to match said product?

 

[dmc69]

Listed something for $150. Guy offers $100. I say fine, whatever on the condition he comes and picks it up. He agrees, and asks me to confirm the price with him again. $100, yes.

I'm not home, so I said please call my brother, he will give it to you. He messages me 30 mins before scheduled time and says since I'm picking it up, can I have it for $80. Me: no, we agreed on $100. I won't sell for less than $100.

My brother calls me and says the guy called, but why is he talking about price? I tell him $100, we agreed on this, no less. If he wants to be a dick about it, he can go home empty handed.

Guy shows up, tries to give my brother $80. My brother says no, it's $100. They guy tries to tell my brother otherwise, but my brother holds his ground. Then he says I only have another $10 on me, let's make it $90. Still a firm no. He goes into a story of how he doesn't have the cash on him, he'd have to visit a bank to pull it out etc... My bro says that's cool, you either go do that but I'm not accepting less than $100 as agreed. Rather suddenly, and miraculously, he had an extra $20 in his car. WOW! What a scumbag.

 

[dmc69]

I just had someone ask me for the receipt for a used item, then told me it's a no go because I don't have the receipt of said item. Am I missing something here? Why are you on Kijiji?

 

[dmc69]

But. It's Kijiji. Used, secondhand items. When it comes to gear, it's likely changed hands a few times over, it's unusual to have a receipt. I guess for high end things, it's reasonable to ask for a receipt, but the item I was selling is mass produced and the likelihood of it being counterfeited are non existent. Do you REALLY need to verify my Made in China, generic brand name item is not a counterfeit? It's like asking me to verify if Ikea furniture is the real deal or not!

 

[dmc69]

I got called a weasel today because my LP VOS '57 Custom Reissue is not priced like a regular Custom. Craigslist police, they got me again! Oh no, I must cave to his demands or I will never sell my guitar!

/sarcasm

 

[dmc69]

I posted my LP studio for 1000. He offered me some beats headphones, an ipad, and a TV. Obviously, a big no. Then his cash offer. I should have screenshotted the part where he offers beats.

 

[dmc69]

Please do!

 

[dmc69]

I've dealt with those exact same offers. Obviously the same idiot.

was thy guy's name Alex?
