tried selling a pair of specialized body geometry sport mountain bike shoes on singlerack when i got an offer of asking price, however they wanted to share postage. i asked for them to pay 50p more than me and the buyer threw his teddy out of pram and backed out of deal. what a shame as the shoes were like new and he was the loser. why do these people look on s/t and barter for price to this extent?

He threw his teddy out of the pram?

talking of teddies justin …..

no sorry – scrap that 😉

please expalin the scrap that if you would be so willing

^ 😀

I once told a buyer to go **** himself when he asked for some free grips to “seal the deal” on a pair of £40 bar’s I’d agreed to sell him for £10

seen your email cheers

lol at justin – all macho

Factor in the postage with selling price next time to avoid same problem again.

what he said…..DONT CRY ABOUT IT

did he start the discussion by saying ‘Bagsie’ or ‘dibs’ like a 10 year old school boy buying some marbles?

Justin earlier

It was me! 😀

Don’t recall throwing my teddies out the pram though. ‘backed out of deal’ did we have a deal…I offered what you were asking plus half share of the postage: you said postage was a £5 (which is what I expected) and therefore seemed that £32.50 was suitable. You had a pop at me for missing a bargain over 50p but likewise if you had split the postage equally, sale would have been done so you also lost the sale over 50p to.

Even sent you a follow-up email saying I was a bit grumpy due to a late night and wished you good luck with the sale so not sure why you felt the need for this thread 😕

I’m sure someone will get a bargain.

What size?

What size?

Size 9 (43)

😀

Pity, if it had been size 45 i would have offered to pay almost all the postage 😉

not sure why you felt the need for this thread [:?]

An attempt to highlight his classifieds item in the chat forum? Almost worked as wel if they’d beent eh right size. 😉

Everyone is milking the classifieds at the moment

*sniggers at MicArms*

so not sure why you felt the need for this thread

which part of making fun of people for no particular reason did you not grasp ?

Ooh ……. I find myself agreeing 100% with SFB ….. a rare delight !

Yes. I love these ‘handbag’ threads I do 😀
