Some people just dont' do ebay well....

Royce,

There's one in Maffra (are you down the road in Rosedale?)outside Wiggies in the main street. Give them a call for details - they should be able to 'steer' you in the right direction. The sign said $2200.



Tim.

I do not like ebay, refuse to bid on anything I have not seen. When I was looking to buy a Jack checked one out with a $5000.00 stereo and their was no oil showing on dipstick. Next one has just a trace showing on bottom of stick couldnt believe it.
Good luck Pete

must have not wanted to sell it.......I have sold a couple of motorbikes on ebay, and went out of my way to help potential buyers, sure you get some tyre kickers but every question is from a potential buyer. Both were sold sight unseen and too happy buyers.

You are right some just don't do it well do they

Cheers Stefan

I sold a Box freezer on there recently, had the item up for 5 minutes and was getting emails from people saying am i willing to sell it now and take it off listing...thought why not..then still getting emails from people offering more than the first bidder....Lesson learnt.....perhaps I listed it too cheap.

I am regular ebayer - What i have found is that you should only ask 1 question per email

EVERY single time i have asked 2 - 3 - they Only answer one at a time - its beyond a sellers mental capacity / attention span to answer more than one question per email


Example -- I recently wanted to purchase a Vintage DemiJohn ( this is a stoneware jug )

No details on size or Capacity --- so i shoot of an email

"Hi there could you give me a very rough estimate of the capacity of this item In litres "

Now anyone with half a brain can give an estimate- you look at a bottle of softdrink - you know -- 1.25 litres --- you look at a paint tin -- 5 litres - milk container --- 2 litres or 3 --- we all have a very good idea of estimating ...

Her reply -- "Hi dosent say ltrs on pottery sorry"

wow she took a lot of time to think of that --- I then shoot another email --- Please take a wild guess at how much this item could hold --- 2 litres 20 liters 50 liters 100 liters ( last few were sarcastic)

got another reply -- " Have no idea - here are the dimensions blah blah blah " -- ends up being 1 Gallon after 30 seconds of working out......

Simple people cant answer simple questions --An Item im looking at -- I ask 3 SIMPLE questions

"HI can you tell me the condition of the item , Can i come view the item and what suburb are you located ??"

reply -" Its good " ........

Ok i then re ask - can i come have a look at the item - and what suburb do you live .....

Reply --- Yes you can .......

I then resend for the third time -- What suburb do you live in ....

Reply " NSW"

- im over it by this stage -- not going to buy from this person - but i continue to play this stupid game ....

Remail -- i need to know where you are so i can come look at the item -- can i have your suburb and mobile number ...

Reply ---- South Coast .....

The email again --- South coast goes from wollongong to the Boarder of Victoria - so please be more specific ...

he reply with the post code - Nothing else not the name or any other words ... Just a Post code ....


I finally gave up ..... shame for him as the price he sold it for i would have paid more for .....
