The post whore thread.

I thought Bright was a movie? Is that the Will Smith as a cop with an Orc partner?

You're right, it's a movie. Supposedly an end of '19 release date.

: What does OBO mean?

: OBO means "Or Best Offer".

: And what does OBO NOT mean?

:

: It does NOT mean "The first person that sends me an email asking me what my lowest price is, gets it for that price".



Am I the only one that realizes this?

Ask them if they're ready to buy, today. If not you, appreciate their interest, then ignore them.

if you have a listing for something that's been for sale more than 1-2 weeks plus. IMO it's a tired listing and you're open to a low offer, maybe. Remove the ad, wait a month then repost, no one buys in the summer.

There's 1 or 2 folk who have had items listed here since '17. They relist the same things for the same price with no movement. If it didn't sell or get any serious interest for $xxx 2 years ago. It's not gonna move in '19 for the same price.
Throw in that's the only place those members are actually active, i don't see them getting a sale.

Yea, great advice. And I completely agree! Especially for items that have been posted a week or two. But I got the reply 11 minutes after posting the item, for the first time. Interestingly enough, its for someone that I just shipped some items to yesterday (well, Saturday).

1k .38spl bullets for $80+10 shipping (it will cost me $15 to ship them as its 23-lbs and needs flat rate box). They retail for $55/500, or $110/1k plus shipping. If I lower the price even $10, I’ll net $65, so $10 more than what I paid for one box, or about what I paid for one box shipped. Perhaps i thought that because they were priced low enough that I wouldn't get these responses.

eta: Well, I responded with $70 plus actual shipping costs, he just said he'll take them. Since I was giving a discount on shipping, he's only getting a $5 discount. Still, the whole "whats your lowest price" frustrates me.

It?s because people are lazy and cannot negotiate anything. If you are serious, send me a serious offer and we can talk. I typically respond back with ?I am asking $X? tends to confuse them and some get the point, though not all.

Surprised no one hit my truck this morning. There's still the afternoon...

Why? Did you park it in the middle of the road?

Or are you one of those people that parks across 5 spaces in a parking lot.

Dps started today. I live across the street from a school.

[ChickNorris]

... & to date Ive only ever been able to take up 4 spaces, likely because its a regular cab.

[BuffCyclist]

Ah gotcha, well that sucks.

I'm pretty sure that you can park your truck perpendicular to the parking spots, with the dividing line down the middle and take up 6 spaces... give it a shot sometime!
