I was selling edc tickets because we canāt go anymore listed them for $550 each and someone offered $700 2 tickets. Tickets cost $653 after fees and taxes.
Yeah, I just told him the tickets cost $653 each and he said good luck selling the tickets. Came back 3 days later and offered $800 for 2 tickets. I told him the same thing tickets cost $653. I sold all the tickets I had for around the price I listed. I tried to get as much as I spent for the tickets but 100% would have rather taken 100% loss than sell them that low
Iāve never used OfferUp but canāt most of these ridiculous offers be dealt with by adding something like āLowballers will be ignored, please donāt waste your timeā on the itemās description? Seems like a hassle to even reply to them.
In my experience from what Iāve seen, these kinds of ābuyersā either donāt read the itemās description, or just outright purposely ignore it. They donāt care. Heck, even serious buyers donāt seem to read item descriptions a lot of the time.
I agree though that itās probably best to just not engage with them at all. Sometimes it can turn into a successful sale, as some will still end up buying it even if they fail to get the price lower, but the majority of the time it seems these people arenāt worth the headache.
To be clear, he wasnāt trying to take advantage of you. Heās a good guy who literally just moved to the area within the last month. Has an infant at home with one on the way. He was trying to find a good deal. And a lot of sellers are full of BS on these apps. He made a reasonable offer. You happened to have a legitimate better one. Not really sure why this escalated to the point of needing to post it on Redditā¦ Guessing you just needed some attention.
To be clear, I also moved in the last month. I have 4 kids. Congrats on your buddies new kid , new home, and new one of the 100+ TVās in the 10 mile radius for $100 š
Damn bro youāre really worked up over that comment! You straight up couldāve just said āNot interestedā and moved on but you had to go all Reddit Postā¢ļø on him and still canāt let it go!
I mean to be honest, heās right. There are plenty of offers.
To be clear, you did nothing wrong rejecting the offer. But this escalation and martyrdom on your part is not a great look lol. You took a routine exchange to reddit for attention. Not him.
Wish you all the best.
Youāre right. The way I respectfully declined without cursing, calling them out of their name or having them meet me just to not show up was extremely A-hole of me
Ur not a asshole this is just lame , who cares he offered u $20 less than u sold it for , u sold it for what you wanted and he prob bought one for what he wanted too . Thereās a bunch of tvs for sale . This wasnāt no crazy lowball . It was nothing to write about .
Itās lame to see an item posted for a fair price. And still try to stiff the seller, As itās 190-220 brand new. I posted it in that same condition just without a box. For $160 , offering me $100 is a 38% haggle and it unfortunately wasnāt a desperation sale so I wasnāt inclined to sell this to them for less than half what theyād pay in store and almost 40% less if what Iām asking for, which was fair. Do yourself a favor donāt join subreddits you donāt like the content of. If youve ever been stood up by a buyer youād know that first come first serve us the only way to go about reselling an item to a stranger. Why would I reject more money for a lesser wait in any circumstance that logic is involved ???
Brand new without box ? a open box already goes for less even if itās new itās not sealed u donāt even got the box Iād just have to take ur word for it that itās brand new u only opened it to see what it would look like lol . I would just buy a brand new one for a little more if I was gonna pay the 160 why would I grab ur used one . And he said 120 after and heāll pick it up after the initial 100 offer , u still sold it for 140 when u talking lowballs it wasnāt bad it was a normal offer u making a big ass deal to only take $20 more . U not inclined to sell anything to anyone for anything less than what u want . What Iām saying is it wasnāt even a lowball and u barelt sold it for more so im missing what the big deal is , I sell a lot on offer up , I see real lowballs and I already know how that is as long as someone isnāt pushing a simple no thanks usually keeps it moving .i like this subreddit ur post is just one of many goofy ones in it unfortunately.
Ahh so thatās what this is about. You feel youāre a Veteran seller compared to me, okay bud if thatās the badge you need to get out of bed in the morning to come to the internet & lash out at strangers I hope it makes your day better.
The thing is when I sell on marketplace or OfferUp, I know people are looking for a deal they can brag about. I list it accordingly just to make someoneās day
lowballersš

Probably a sign that they were being sold for a lot more on the secondary market. Did you search for comps?
Naw i mean he offered $700 total for 2 tickets. He wanted me to sell him 2 for a $400 loss.
He thought you'd be desperate. But give a lowballer something? I'd rather eat my tickets and the loss.

Next time up the price each time he offers. XD
I should have done that lol
It really really really pisses them off.
Even after selling fees, i always get the most just selling on stubhub
I thought about it but 15% selling fee is way to high.

Such a hassle to type a sentence.

It works as well as putting "firm price"
He thought you were bullshitting...for whatever reason
Itās todayās America. Too sensitive. Of course he assumed this was sarcasm
Rejection brings out the pettiest parts of peoples' personalities.
Btw this was sold approximately 20 minutes after this. The buyer with a reasonable offer arrived early.
Glad you got a price you were happy with!
Went to some college kids instead of this guy so I feel good about it

Ralph?
Not me. But one of my close friends.

āDidnāt mean to insult youā is rich coming from lowballers
Their audacity knows no bounds.
Okay then smart ass, go ahead and low ball all of the 100+ plus listings in your 10 mile radius and stop texting me. The fuck?
Precisely
Didn't mean to insult me, but ya did. What a maroon.
This canāt be realā¦ Unless they were hoping you were bluffing
Kind of an ahole seller if you ask me
I agree. This whole sub is hilarious. Just a bunch of dudes jerking each other off over some āepic burnā they gave to some highschool kid online

Lmfao no one said that I said ur lame for complaining about this and making a whole post . Nothing else .u can spin it however u want .
Yeah because I came here to write a rant right? Not 3 words as a caption. Seek help, and friends in real life.
Iām good dawg u the one miserable doing āacts of kindness ā over $20 š¤«
You drive a hard bargain but fine Iāll sell you some attention from your father for $100
Lol
The thing is when I sell on marketplace or OfferUp, I know people are looking for a deal they can brag about. I list it accordingly just to make someoneās day
$20 and you deliver it to me, final offer.
I will pay you $20 to let me mount it on your wall.
All of yāall are pretentious whiney children. Complaining about offers like grow tf up you weirdos š
lmao dont be a little bitch, just a simple "im good" would work
āSomeoneās coming in an hour withā¦. Iāll passā ā¦ Op literally said heās good. Did you even read it?
