Isn't low-balling something really old men suffer from?

Don't have an issue with the low ball offers, part of the game. 

Seem to be a few who accept the price and then come with a story about the dog dying, bills etc around pay time. . Can only offer a lower amount. 

As it's not an emergency sale, I'm like cool, give me a shout when the account fills up. They then get pissy about the deal and not acceptting the new offer.

Yep.
I got an offer the other day and when I replied to progress the conversation, suddenly he was buying a house and needed the cash.
Then why make the offer in the first place ?
Bizarre!

i have a good one :

Ad has been running for over a month its an expensive item 

send whatsapp and PM ........no reply ....for weeks and weeks 

forget about it and move on and the advert expires 

3 weeks later he replies 

he is kind of sarcastic but ok whatever 

ask for better pics of certain bits and haggle about 7.5 percent discount on asking 

he agrees to price and we arrange to meet  to check out item and buy for cash

next morning call to arrange meet and get oh he got another offer i must now better it or higher than asking .....(an offer from whom the ads been expired for at least a week😂)

told him verbal middle finger emoji 🤣 truly they live amongst us

buying stuff on bikehub is never dull 

 

removes prince harri moaning mask and gets on with life .....

I know a real life instance when they offered the seller more than selling price... Few months later and bike was still struggling to be resold.

I hate when I get a dumb offer without the offerer even viewing the item. What's the reason for a selling price then??

Even better when you're asking, say R1,000 and you get an offer of R600 - CASH! Were you expecting to pay me in Gummy bears or cattle or what? I only take cash FFS! 🤣

Obviously, they were asking about the height of the lowest jumps you've cleared. 😜

At least they were polite.
Its usually a one liner.
Its like some strange form of window shopping

[Shebeen]

my next strategy.

start a second profile for selling.

put up a bike worth R20k for R25k

get the low ball offer from reseller for R6k.

Accept the offer and give the bank details for SPCA.

close down account and disappear...
