Alright, alright.
Here it all comes, no holding back here, this is seriously - really - really - really - fucking bothering me.
Gumtree! Craigslist! All these fucking sites that let you sell and buy goods with the hopes of leaving your phone number to let someone get back to you with something you may be interested in, and vice versa.
So right, here I am trying to sell one thing on Gumtree.
I put EVERYTHING in the listing, from what the fucking thing does to what it looks like to serial numbers everything. EVERYTHING.
Everything to not let someone ask questions about the item that I haven't managed to cover.
YET
There are still braindead people who ask the most obviously stupid questions that make you sit there and scratch your head going, what the fuck?!
IT'S RIGHT THERE. IN THE AD. READ IT. RTFM.
I think people tend to look at the price, look at the picture, read the title and then go - I AM GOING TO ASK IF THIS ITEM WORKS!
So that's definitely one thing that fucks around with me. When you get your inbox flooded with questions of people asking the obvious questions. I understand if I am trying to sell something, I am sort of obliged to answer questions relating to it - however, when the answer is one click away, why the fuck should I sit here and write out the answer to their question only for them to completely ignore me and sail off to Papua New Guinea or some shit.
But what really, really, fucking really gets me uptight is the time wasters.
You got the braindeads, the Time Wasters and then the rest.
Time wasters - Shows interest in the item and then never responds ever again.
So these fucks think they are smart and go ahead and show interest in the item and will come and pick it up. But ask to email them my address and contact.
NO. STOP.
Fucking see the contact number in my listing - send me a text to that or call me.
So they use a private number and call.
DONT FUCKING HIDE BEHIND A PRIVATE NUMBER YOU BASTARD.
Just, call me, and say "Hey, is this available, can I come get it".
Right so it sounds hopeful, you have contact with the person, they want the item.
You say right, well here's the address to come pick it up, they respond, yeah no problems I will be there in 2 hours.
2 hours later.
Where the fuck are they?
*Sends text an hour later - "Are you coming to get the item still?"
.........

No answer.
Time waster. Thank you for fucking up.
But I have your phone number, so I can CALL you and ask, "Hey what's going on?".
Calling....calling.....calling......voicemail.
Wonderful.
So far, on one item I have tried to sell, I have been polite with each question and person who has enquired, but 6 fucking times I have been fucked around and it's just literally got my head in a fucking vice grip squeezing so hard my head is bound to explode at any stage.
It's the fact that these total strangers get your address then never turn up. It makes you wonder, now what the fuck could they do with that? They have my name, address and a phone number. That's not safe in my books at all.
Honestly, is there a safer way to go about this. Any fuck could just get on there and spam the shit out of any person and fuck them around twice as hard. It's just not fair on the person that's trying to sell an item.
If you are in the buying position and the person that you are trying to contact, never answers the phone or has sold the item but never took it down, then there's another complete headfuck that makes you go, WHY you incoherent bastard. Is it not that hard to go - DELETE MY AD. THANK YOU.
It's never that easy, in either way, it's never easy. And that sucks.
With eBay and sites that actually make you put your legal information in, it gives you the protection that you need to make a transaction properly. I mean something could always happen with an eBay transaction but the fact that each party has legal details and etc. And the fact you can make your eBay have "members who have -5 feedbacks in their history can not buy from you" & etc. You have the right to control your sales in a way which is quite easy.
I understand Gumtree and Craigslist is a different matter. It's like a paper "Buy & Sell" sort of matter. But you think with being online it's not just some marketplace for any fuck to come around and make an asshat of themselves.
That's the matter of fact. It's just really getting to me. Day after day, time waster after time waster, braindead question after another. It's really quite pathetic. It's like a trolling ground with gates that have a huge sign *WELCOME ALL YOU STUPID FUCKS*
Bleh. It's just shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
Please, let me know when things are sorted and people can buy and sell and everything goes right? That would make me happy.
Speaking of which I should check and see if I have any questions or lowball offers (Oh don't get me started on fucking lowball offers)......
AHHHHH DONT OFFER ME FUCKING $50 WHEN I AM ASKING $100. YOU THINK THAT'S FAIR. CAPS RAGE.
Half the time I really feel like just being a total clown and responding to these people in an idiotic matter to put my response and thought processes down to their level.
It's just shit. Ok. Shit.
Imagine there's an image macro with my frustration here.
Otherwise just keep moving on.
No answer.
