few days ago, i have put my amplifier up to sales.

then i have received phone calls from a few buyers that showed interest in the amp.
and there is one dude which called me a short while after i have posted it.
he said he showed interest in the amp and wanted to buy even without trying it.
it is kind of new to me but i still accepted his offer.
he at first super lowballed me.
more then 50% off the original price i offered.
then in the end we end up with a agreement on a price. XX (disclosed amount)

he first said he would come and pick it up from me on 30th march at night.
then ended up missing for hours and said he would come tomorrow morning.

the next day morning, he said he would pick it up from me but the same thing happens again.
he went missing for the whole day.
so i thought the deal was off and then i send it up on sales again.
one nice dude called me and said he is interested.
however the original buyer came back to me again.
thus there was a clash in the sales.
he said that he was the confirmed buyer and in the end i end up letting the amp to the original buyer.
*to the nice dude : i am so sorry*

cause due working, i can only deal either in the morning or late night.
thus we agree to deal on 31th march night.
he said he would be driving down to take the amp from me.
but times and times he called saying that he cant reach and have to drop his friend off.
in the end the deal is delayed again.
agreement is made to the next day morning again.

in the end, the buyer was missing again.
he then reached me in the noon and then offered me that he will bank in the money to me.
after that, he texted me saying that he bank in already.
after work, i checked the account.
no money in the bank.
i questioned him and he said that wrote a cheque so it was delayed.
then we agreed to meet up on tonight.
11.30 was the first meeting time.
then was delayed to 1.
mean while i tried to call him all along but then he did not pick up.
till now 2.38 am.
no ring, no texts from him.

finally i gave up hope and decide to drop this buyer.
dont know that any of you guys met this kind of buyer before?


the guy is a malay and has a number of
9192079X.

i keep the last number as a unknown as i want to keep the last respect for this dude.
and softies can avoid this person cause i do not want anyone to suffer from this.
 
wow. how did you tahan so long. hahaha.
i would have killed the guy alr.

anyway. you should censor more numbers. cause.

9192079(0-9) is not very difficult to guess :o
 
if it was so easy, win toto already. Cannot help.
Didn't expect a buyer to react this way.

Don't kill la. Not good.
 
yeah bro, pity your situation, however, in this world there are lotsa different types of people that you wont expect it,all these people are really good for nothing...so free go and study and work lar , go and sabotage pple.Anyway, mayb next time you just put yr sales ad as "First come first served basis" to protect yourself, whoever comes first get it
 
my tried and tested method : "Not first come first serve, first buy first GET!" (first who pays, will be the first who I hand it to".)

and always either do delivery (to the guy's house) so if he screws you over, you can hang pig head. or do it at your place (self collect) to show that you're not a bogus seller, you screw him over he can hang your pig head.

by doing a "no reserve/no instalment" policy, yes it's true that ANYBODY can shortcut and get the item.. but that's none of your business! then they should : ACT FAST a.k.a Mai Tu Liao. your only concern is to sell off the stuff and upgrade / splurge on good stuff etc.unless it's your long time friends for 10 years , last time small kid share underwear kind of buddy, then yes you can reserve. otherwise, cruel world bro.. dog eat dog.

so if they got excuses? no money? go borrow from your friend or parents, i not your father. i can't "make it cheaper for you" or "i not bank/credit card company, no instalment".

no time? then don't buy lor. and oh guess what, every singaporean has no time, you as the seller just committed just as much time for the buyer, so it's only fair that the buyer sets the same amount if not more time and more sincerity to get the stuff from you.

90¢ worth
 
HEY! THAT'S not MY NUMBER!

haha

ok lame. yea man, if i were you, after the second delay, i would've ditched him already
 
"NO RESERVATION. FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE" helps you save lots of time, effort and also weed out fickle/non-serious buyers. But you have to really stick to your policy, no exception...not even reserving for one day (unless it's for a very good reason).

"LOWBALLERS WILL BE IGNORED" also helps to an extent. Incorrigible lowballers will still lowball you somehow. But make sure you don't reply them lah. And if you get really sick of these lowballing, try "LOWBALLERS WILL BE PUBLICLY HUMILIATED". :D
 
Should just ignore him. He has no respect for you.
I ever encounter a similar incident over eBay. Already won the bidding for my item, in the end say he found the item cheaper somewhere else, and all this after 1 week after winning the bid.
 
sorry to say this bro, but you even have faith that this guy was gonan buy your amp after going missing the second time.

and sending a check to you bank account? This must have meant that you gave him your bank acct number (Bad bad idea).

All the best for ur future deals dood.

cheers
 
Huh nothing wrong with giving acct no right? what can he do? Hack into it? Probably but highly unlikely, but this is how some of us deal anyway, that depends on your level of trust. We give our acct no so the other person can transfer before mailing the item. I did it a few times.
 
=Janvin

lol try one by one ar, but anyway this kinda of buyers don't give them grace, i felt pitifull for the nice guy.if only soft has this "black marking" system. then it would be easier to know whether this buyer is of credible as he or she calims to be.
 
as in who don't nego the price with the buyer when they are buying?
But seriously I find the guy has nothing to do all day man.
then now my previous buyers which are interested are gone.
I tried ditching but he said he will bank in money, so in believed him.
didnt expect Singapore got this kind of bo Liao people.
only thing to say is I sway man.
 
it's common.

got this go by the nick of MXXXM+++

see his post can say he's super well respected. see bei glorify
till he sms me.. the metallica CD for 5 dollar per pcs.

i think never reply him..


haha
