[QUOTE="J.P., post: 1611053, member: 6"] Unfortunately...yes...it is out of the ordinary.....at least in my experience. I'm generally pretty forgiving because I've come to learn that 95% of sellers overrate the condition of their items and I expect it to some degree but if I go so far to physically and visually inspect an item, I am absolutely buying it unless there has been a gross misrepresentation. On the other hand what I usually get is: "[I]Wellllll, it's not really exactly what I'm lookin' for, man."[/I] Or my favorite[I]...."It's just a little more than I'm wanting to spend"[/I] Keep in mind that this is after I've taken the time, withstood the left lane campers, and burned the gas to meet up with a potential buyer who has already said [I]"I want it[/I]" or "[I]I'll take it[/I]". AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!! It's very frustrating for me and extremely rude behavior on behalf of the "tire kicker" I'm confident that any OSAers who've purchased from me can attest to the fact that I always underrate my items so if there are any surprises in store for the buyer they are of a positive nature. It's gotten to the point on CL that I have to almost frikkin' [I]interrogate[/I] the potential buyers so that we both clearly understand that there's no "wiggle room" or indecisiveness.....if you say you want it, and we agree on a price.....congratulations....you now own it! (you're takin' it if I gotta' open yer head up and cram it inside) [/QUOTE]
