Gaz Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I always find selling on Gumtree a major hassle. Probably because I tend to use it for work related stuff rather than second hand wallpaper, so there's a lot of fat builder types who are functionally illiterate and very few (so few, in fact, that there are none) MILFs who get in touch about ads I post. So many timewasters too. Not people at the wind up per se, but hopeless morons who waste time with a series of inane and illegible questions and are just generally pests. I was selling an Xbox One for £200 on it last week and some twat asked if I'd accept £30 and an iPod touch as a swap. If I could drop it off. In Arbroath. So not only was I to swap it for £30 and something I could buy out of CeX for £120 I was also to travel a three-hour long hundred and fifty mile round trip to drop it off. I strung the idiot along for a while and then went to town on him for being such a moron that his brain thought that anyone would accept such a shit offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest_Man#1 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I've considered the sleeveless cardigan look for work before. I think I'd look hella dapper. That's the classic middle aged male teacher look, so go for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Oi, I never wore a cardy of any sort in school, always a shirt and tie man. Now, I have been known to wear a cardy at home 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a top offer from a smokie as well I bet he was really shocked you refused! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Can't believe folk still do the contact ads type of selling, considering the number of utter jakeballs who turn up and hope you'll give them a bargain just to get rid of them. I've probably already told the tale of the old degenerate who turned up to buy a computer from me and tried to get me to trade for a couple of spunk-covered old porn tapes. There was also a boy who arrived to buy a (tech snore alert) 486 DX2-66 processor and motherboard from me for £20, and was expecting to get a 266MHz Pentium II processor and motherboard combo, when that was basically the fastest processor available for home computers and would've set you back over £200. Arsehole started ranting that the advert had stated it was the Pentium II, so I pulled out the copy of ScotAds (or whatever) that it had been in to show him it didn't. He lost the place even more at being caught out in a lie, so I told him to leave or I'd call the police, as he very much seemed as though he'd like to take a swing at me. He then suddenly makes an offer of £2 to "do you a favour", which sees me reaching for the phone, at which point he calmly puts a £20 note down on the table, picks up the hardware, and leaves I know some folk seem to like that kind of 'bargaining', but I don't understand it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottR96 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 The tea point closest to my desk in work has been out of bounds this week so I need to go to the other one which is too much of a trek for a coffee. It's a hard life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 If you don't mind me butting in I'm a bit confused. There have been some atrocious crimes to the art of pottery displayed on these pages recently and it's hard to keep up. Are we talking octagonal or the tacky ones with the fake gold trimming? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScotlandGer Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We got a couple of new air-fresheners, the sort that spray out scent automatically every so often, because, it's ok, I can afford it. But, they make a weird noise when they spray, and I've been slightly startled / got a wee fright a couple of times when they switch on unexpectedly when I'm in the same room. I'm a grown man, in my own house, in 2015 modern Scotland, and I should not be subjected to getting wee frights from air-fresheners 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
