Title: Ya know what really grinds my gears...
Post by: X30XE on 01 February 2017, 23:00:29
Little bell cheeses like this shaft polisher (for instance)...

...who put something on gumtree/ebay/autotrader, or worse - preloved where you have to PAY TO CONTACT THEM, and then they don't even have the common fnarking courtesy to A : Remove the listing when it's sold, or B : bother responding to you ever at all.  >:( >:( >:(

Especially when they have the bloody gall to put "no timewasters" in the listing... like IRRRRONNNNYYYY??!

Burning at the stake is too good for them.

Hung, drawn & quartered would be a fitting punishment, Unless it's a first offence and then just do the hanging part ;D ;D ;D

Well what do you expect, He lives in Knobworth in Arsefordshire, ;D quiet common on Bumtree for peaple not bothering to remove there Ad's.

I phone one a few weeks back about an item, Her reply was "Oh I wish I had lots of these, I could have sold them 10 times over".......       Well take Flucking Ad down then.  >:( ::)

Fairly sure these days, Bumtree is full of the retarded rejects that arnt allowed to sell on the Bay anymore.  :-\

An 83000 mile discrepancy between the ad and the pic.

Another relatively newish place similar to Gumtree, Preloved etc.. Is Shpock...

For an example a Shpock Omega randomly found > LINK (https://en.shpock.com/i/WIOqnFHhSD5Si0XN/)

There's no phone number, So presumably, you'd need to make an account, Send a message and wait. You just don't know where you stand with these kinds of listings, At least with eBay (as flawed as it is), you have some idea what's going on.

I take it the ancient rot box was already sold, then? Never mind, saved you all that welding  :P ;D

I think that's the entire point of the site.. the more people they have 'subscribed' the more they can sell advertising space for, I'm sure (and/or sell the business later on)..

^ What he said. Ebay is bad enough. I have no inclination to deal with their rejects whatsoever.

I find Ebay to be just as bad personally.  The difference being you're never going to find a bargain* on ebay because there's too many people looking and followed searches to alert buyers who do nothing all day [anywhere north of nottingham basically  ;) :-* :D ] who have time to react instantly.

*yes I'm aware the original listing linked does not fall into this category.
