Mild paraphrasing going on.
Me: How much for the thing.
Them: $50. Local pickup only.
Me: Monday and Thursday work for me!
Them: I'm free all day Monday.
Me: I can be there around noon, where do you want to meet?
Ten minutes later:
Me: I can be there at noon, I need an address to tell the GPS.
Sixteen hours later:
Me: If you insist on local pickup, you have to tell me where to go.
Them: I don't appreciate your nasty tone. I'm busy. I work a lot. Monday was the only break I've had in a long time.
Me: You ghosted me for 16 hours and didn't reply until I hurt your feelings. And you still haven't told me where to meet you. I don't think you're selling the thing.
Them: It's still for sale, Thursday is good.
What would you tell them? I'm thinking of telling him I'm on the way to his house Thursday morning and giving updates on where I am for three hours then going silent right about when I should be arriving.
I have no idea where he lives, so telling him I'm on my way to his place might be hilarious.
Do that and be sure to tell him you're bringing cash.

ReplyDeleteUnless you REALLY NEED the thing, dont bother.......unreliable people neither think nor care about you, but this will rattle around your head generating resentment.....let it go. Find a different thing.

You seem surprised on how the seller is acting. Just about every attempt I have made to inquire or purchase something off FB marketplace or even local coffee shop bulletin boards, results in this same form of behavior by the seller. Slow if any response, total disregard for time and failure to answer the pertinent point asked (price and location). Not sure why this is the case but am rapidly forming the opinion that most people seem to have no discipline whatsoever in their personal affairs. One wonders how they function.
