forest of dean redneck 12,022 Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 I had a good clear out an fb market place is full of twats , I had a Shakespeare telescopic rod n reel in end I dropped it to a tenner an threw in box of lures an lead etc but must of had 20 timewasters on that some were grockles on holiday in end a man drove probably 20 miles for it . Another was a camping drinking water container with a tap some bint wanted it an right also bang on time she had arranged to come she messaged me with excuse someone had bought her bottled water and she didn’t need it now Gumtree is another one don’t put your phone number up on that as you get the oh you had a accident recently people call you with in 5 minutes of advert going live so now I have it as email contact only !

I was inundated with replies from eastern Europeans nearly all Romanian, All start with "Best Price" Then move onto to "I come now with xxx" a lower figure. Then get all shirty when you say no, To be honest its been a pain in the arse. Mind i did tell one bloke to come over when he offered a stupid amount. He replied "So you accept" No i said " i just want to see your face when i tell you to fcuk off when you get here" Another asked if its a 7 seater, its a poxy Vauxhall Agila Lol My reply was "The 7 Dwarfs would fit in comfortably" Eventually a young lad from Walsall came and looked at it. I nearly just gave it him so i could remove the sales post from Facebook. Just what I needed to hear as I'm about to sell scooby!!! Might just stick it on ebay and if it sells it sells, if it doesn't leave it on drive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Qbgrey 4,259 Posted October 4, 2023 Report Share Posted October 4, 2023 I put a Isuzu pick up on eBay a while back, posted pictures with all the damage and was brutally honest about it even saying .: it’s prob the worst condition pick up in the uk.!!!! A guy won it then rang up said he’s driving 3 hrs tomorrow to collect, c**t turns up with 4 mates , then starts saying it’s worse than he thought ffs. I just said don’t have it then mate and walked off locked my gate. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
