First sentence in the ad was "is this available" will be ignored or blocked. I figured if they don't even bother reading the ad they aren't really serious.
I love when they put cash after their offer. Like I would accept anything else. I swear they think the word cash is punctuation. Proof positive the majority of the population is dropouts and mouth breathers but they all roll around in 50k plus vehicles? How do these people even remember to eat or breathe?
The breakdown of responses aligns with my experience on FB. Whenever I get multiple immediate responses I too think that I under listed the price. I consider how satisfied I am with the amount plus how glad I am to be rid of the item. I have on rare occasion notified potential buyers that I received offers over ask and since they are higher in queue they could have it if they came up to $X. In my limited experience this drops about half of the truly interested buyers. Of course you can't come up too much over original ask or you might lose all interested buyers.
No idea. Truly. It's like that for a lot of things. Hell, look at half the bikes for sale on this forum. Half the replies are if it's still available. The worst thing I've ever sold in my life was a push mower for $20. The deck was starting to rot out, it had like a quarter size hole in it. But it ran great. It was a fantastic fucking mower. Bought it new, but finally bought a riding mower, so now I only have to weedwhack and ride the mower. I didn't want to chuck it in the dumpster, so I saw what the average going rate was and priced it at half to under cut most of the other ones listed for sale. Could I deliver it 40 miles? Hold it for 3 days? Take 20 different videos of it running? Is this ad for real? I think I literally had 40-50 responses within an hour. It was insane. People losing their shit when I didn't reply to them fast enough. It was wild. And all of them don't need a license to breed and have the right to vote.
I was selling my RV & got a bunch of busters offering useless garbage for trade even though I bolded NO TRADES. Finally got 1 doofus who paid me asking and then wanted it delivered. I get his address... then drive it right over to be rid of it. He then complains when I deliver it to his front yard. I offered him a cordial "Thats your problem" as I hopped in my wifes car.
You can't make this up. Farm girl shows up looks at it for 10 minutes then hands me 2600. 15 minutes after she leaves she sends me a message asking what size ball I was using. The trailer is 2 5/16. She had a 2 inch. Trailer popped off and slammed into the back of the car. I messaged back the location of a U-Haul near where she was. I'm sure I'll get some kind of message looking for some money from me but I don't reimburse stupid.
"Trailer came with the tail light warranty. It expired it when I couldn't see your tail lights anymore. Good luck."
