I’d have walked away at his second comment

To be honest, he’s made you look a bit of a cock there 😆

😀

that’s quite funny !

Hang on. £160 for second hand cranks? Are they Kashima coated gold plated or what?

I like him 🙂

I keep getting people on eBay with the “what’s your lowest price for cash” what they fail to understand is that I actually prefer bank transfer as that doesn’t involve me having to go to the bank to put the bloody money in. It’s not 1970 on a market stall. Get fed up of responding to some of them.

That guy seems quite amusing. It would have been much quicker if you’d just paid the £160 😉

Correct answer for what’s the best price for cash is 10 quid more than what it was advertised at 😉

Am I missing something?

its not your least finest either tho munrob

And eveyone think’s they’re some negotiations guru if they ask to meet halfway.

What, halfway between what I think is the market price, and some random number you’ve plucked from the air? The fact you want to meet halfway immediately tells the other person that you don’t really think the first offer you made was what it was worth!

So he’s on ere then 😉

😆

Thoroughly entertaining munro..

Ah I like him.

Someone above said something about “insulting potential customers” he’s not in business, this is a fair exchange of goods for money, no party is greater than any other.

This shouldn’t be taken as a dig at the OP, but as a rule consumers are a total pain in the arse most of us could do without, second-hand buyers are usually the very worst – why do you think eBay get away with charging such massive margins? Because they act a barrier between seller and buyer, even then you get besieged by people who want to remove that barrier and offer piss taking amounts “because it’ll be less than eBay charge” yeah but then I wouldn’t have to deal with your BS. I avoid, like the plague, the “end it early” crowd, they’ve already proven they’ve no problem with breaking the rules to save a quid, the exact type of thinking that starts the old “not as advertised, partial refund” nonsense.

Seller doesn’t need £150, or £135, doesn’t sound like he needs the arseache either – we don’t know what cranks they are or what they’re “really worth” but seller has taken the easy route – sell them for less than everyone else, someone will gladly take them no fuss, then comes the fuss. I don’t blame him, this “the customer is always right” shit is an Americanism, best avoided, stand up for yourself.

Excellent stuff.

You must’ve really wanted those cranks.

Should have seen the offers i got fir selling a gold sivereign on ebay.

Give or take a quid thats a known value but 100 quid less to save on fees… haud me back.

I’m picturing him sitting in the LBS equivalent of this.
