the thread about nothing...

I just had a seller do this to me the other day. Had the listing up, tried to buy the shoes and he wanted 700 dollars higher than what they were listed at. Talking about bro the value has went up. Well why not update the price in the first place
I typically report those kinds of sellers, although I'm doubtful that eBay would do any action. but still, have to report it.

Kids these days will never understand how cool that was at one point. :lol:
 
Found a PS4 pro at the pawn shop for $250 with both controllers and 5 games on the hard drive. Put it on layaway. When I get it can I log out of the profile that's on there and add mine and still keep all the games that are downloaded on it or are the games only playable with the account they were downloaded from?
 
It's cool that zmaqbool zmaqbool DB Cooper DB Cooper TURBO UNO TURBO UNO sneeker sneeker and P papit recently expounded on their experiences and thoughts on meetups with selling things because their elaborations coincided favorably with something I thought about after I made a sale on GOAT two days ago on Memorial Day.

After GOAT emailed me a notification on Monday that the 2008 Countdown Pack Jordan XI that I had listed on there sold, it made me feel good that I chose to sell on there as opposed to selling it to a stranger in person. Yes, I dread getting jacked with fees to sell on a platform, but at least it's safer to sell on there and it eliminated any potential issues with a meetup.

If I tried to sell it in person, I would have had to be concerned with potentially getting robbed, having to possibly haggle with the potential buyer or getting paid with counterfeit money.

I've heard stories that buyers will try tactics to get a low price. Like they'll actually try to haggle despite the price already having been negotiated and agreed upon on both sides. Or jerks will try to come up with bogus excuses that they're short on cash, basically trying to prey on sympathy and seller's desperation to dump to get themselves a lower price.

I see it as a logical F you, pay me scenario with selling on a platform from these prior experiences I've had on GOAT.

I'm going to gladly share my story about selling those shoes on GOAT later on.

that's what I meant. what is even worse are some of those sellers have bots that they self-bid on their item to jack up the price. I rarely won anything from those types of sellers and I always have a max price that I'm willing to shell out but smart enough not to get fooled not to outbid a bot.

Pepper Spray is a good option although quite risky as well. I have a co-worker who made a boo-boo of spraying it a little bit at work. it was annoying as hell.

I had an odd feeling that some eBay sellers could be doing corrupt crap to jack up bids on their listings. I always assumed they had people they knew manually making bids to jack up prices. I didn't realize they can use bots to jack up bids because bots have been usually tied to hoarding shoe releases online.

I guess it can be deemed that I used a bot during the 2000s because I used to use some sort of program to snipe auctions. I just input the bid price I wanted placed on a listing and timed it to bid automatically before the listing ended. I won lots of eBay auctions that way. But I've been manually bidding at the last minute ever since I began using smartphones whenever I'm not home.

I just had a seller do this to me the other day. Had the listing up, tried to buy the shoes and he wanted 700 dollars higher than what they were listed at. Talking about bro the value has went up. Well why not update the price in the first place

That's why I conveyed that sellers should just think it through with the amount they want and commit to it. Raising prices after feeling uncomfortable with their initially listed price is just bad business. It's only OK to revise or change a price if a seller is comfortable with accepting a lower price than they wanted and they're just willing to get rid of it by any means.
 
Been listening/watching The Pivot podcast a good amount these past few weeks. I really like the hour long format and that they get both current and retired athletes. Just watched the Andrew Whitworth one, guy is very well spoken and was interesting to hear about his departure from the Bengals and time with the Rams.
 
Hit a tree today, before and after. I shouldn’t have hit the tree… but I think I did a good job fixing it with a roller and couple wrenches to take it apart. :lol:

Still gonna get chewed out I bet. 🤷‍♂️
Better hope none of them tree hugging environmentalists saw you. They will want your head for that tree being hit :lol: . Let em know how sorry you are by ripping a mean burnout in front of them so they can breathe in that fume-infested, burnt rubber air. But oh well, ish happens what can you do.
