Buyers wasting sellers time

[ChUkKy]

So....

 

At some stage or the other most of us have something to sell or get rid of that we find in our garages, parts trunk or drawers.

 

I advertised a Polar CS300, and a 26" X-King UST tyre as well as some other goodies seperately.

 

So on the tyre I get a PM from Norm333 saying he will take it, we discuss logistics a bit and leave it at that waiting for him to get hold of me on the Saturday as discussed. I had 3 calls on Friday from buyers wanting the tyre to which I declined as I was keeping it for Norm333.

Needless to say this is a rant so you can see why Im naming and shaming as well, norm333 blew hot air leaving me sitting with my goods and 3 lost buyers which most likely wouldnt have stuffed me around.

 

Had I said the tyre is still available and someone came on the Friday, paid the money, left with the goods. I would have been lambasted on the hub as Ive seen before with people selling goods promised to someone else.

I see why they do this and I dont blame them, I should have operated like this from the outset.

 

Same thing with cas247 on the Polar, I turned away another sale after him purely because he called dibs after another fellow in my advert...

Silly me being the person I am and holding it for them.

 

Stupid mistake to think that people will stick to their word.

 

Yes I felt a name and shame was in order here, I do not apologise for it.

 

What ever happened with common decency???

 

EDIT:

Norm333 has made good on his deal, paid for and had the tyre collected.

Should have a "Rate the Buyer" option in the classifieds so sellers know who to trust a bit less than others

Well! I kept shifters for him last week and he stuck to his word eventho having other buyers lined up.

maybe its just your personality

Maybe he didn't have any airtime... (personal joke)

Ja Chuckky....pis poor form by the 2 guys in question....cas247 and Norm333. Its really about common decency. Let me know...get back to me when you say you will...manage my expectations. Now for what its worth, I include the following on ALL my ads...sort of fine print

 

...Don't call Dibs...it means nothing. Item will be secured if you post "I will take it".

...I don't deal with members with less than 1000 posts, so don't bother posting / negotiating.

 

Since I have added these two rules to my ads, my experience ito dealing with hot air buyers have been 100% great. For one, you dont get lurkers sitting in the classifieds all day long contributing nothing else, you don't get the one post wonders that you don't know the character of and you don't open yourself up to scammers / dangerous situations since they people buying have been around the block a few times on the hub. Trust me...add it to your ads, its worth it.

 

Oh please go and rate them negatively in the marketplace section....based on it i will never deal with either cas247 and Norm333

Cell to cash converters if you don't have any business sense

[rouxtjie]

cas247 = 6 posts

norm333 = 41 posts

 

See if you had the 1000 posts rule they would have been able to bugger you around....

have had quite a few guys telling me they are taking my 2x10 groupo.. never hear anything further..my favourite was peter that wasted my time from the Saturday till the Tuesday - eventually told him to deposit a holding deposit and then he went quiet... I suppose he is still fixing a truck in secunda or is it escort??

Is there not a sectrion which says rate the member as a "Seller" or a "Buyer". I think there is but it is harly ever used used.

I have made 100's of purchases on the Hub and only rated 5 times.

I must be a *** buyer.

It does....like a bomb...dont deal with lurkers whose character I don't know...Have always managed to sell my items within a day or two.

 

I suggest chuckky does the same
