I think I’ve been sheltered to the sheer number of absolute morons we have in this country. Despite asking not to get any private messages (got 50+ last week for couches I was trying to get shot of), I’ve received probably double that this morning. People asking if stuff is available when I’ve already said it isn’t. And trying to knock the price of a 32” smart TV down from 15 quid to a tenner. People are unreal. Can’t wait to get shot of all my shit and never darken these groups again. A part of the internet I don’t go near thank f**k. The wife had to be telt anaw, she was putting items on, some for free, then they would ask for us to deliver as well, which obviously meant me. Places like that are full of lend taking b*****ds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 I'm sure @BigFatTabbyDave will have lots of tales about selling stuff on the internet. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Happy to confirm that the internet is full of morons. There are an awful lot of people who aren't satisfied unless they get something for less than the asking price, even if it's for free, or if the money's going to a charity. Death is too swift a punishment. Wee tale to keep Miguel happy: in the pre-internet age, I had an auld mink show up to buy a computer (£20 asking price) who started trying to trade it for a bag of porn tapes he'd brought with him. Just showed up to a random teenager's house with a carrier bag of porn. Not even the fact that my girlfriend was in the house at the time seemed to give him the idea that this might be a bad idea; he just waited for her to leave the room before whipping the tapes out. Have any P&Bers ever tried to use pornography as currency? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was offering three; "really good stuff", apparently, and recorded onto el cheapo Maxell tapes IIRC. I think maybe DA Baracus is right.

Seems legit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
