[joethenuts]

THIS IS JUST A FEW

I sell paint and for the odd colors i take off the lid to take a photo of the paint and had a message does this can of paint come with a lid.

or get a message saying what color should i paint my house.mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

or how much paint do i need to paint my fence  mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

or a friend of mine sold a computer the buyer a couple of days later sent a message stating that the computer does not turn on ,so he rang the buyer and said maybe 1 of the plugs have come loose   ,could you check all the leeds in case you unpluged them with your foot ,so she said hang on i will check all the leeds,about 15 minutes went by and my friend said what took you so long and she said she had to find a torch ,my friend said why would you need a torch  and she said i needed a torch to see under my computer table if the plug was in the wall socket as we have a power failur for the last 2 hours at the moment   my friend just hung up

Cats, I don't read every thread, few in fact.

If I have something I feel I'd like to say, I say it, as you well know 😉

Have a nice night Cats. Been enjoying dinner and a movie.

Sure amber.   Though I will remain skeptical due to the company you have kept over the years in this trading community.  JMO and experience of course.

Nonetheless,  I hope you have a lovely rest of the evening

Cats, I take your interest as a compliment, albeit an unusual one 🙂 I do remember how welcoming you and others were when I first posted in this community.

Thank you 🙂

 i was always told no question is  a bad question !!  you all come off sounding teribbly arrogant and if i was buyer would keep right away from you lot.you sound like high school girls in the toilets i can see why you may think its funny but it sounds awfully mean written down and not necessary

[amber-eyed-girl]

You didn't read all the posts then. Not all of us feel this is the place to be humorous about buyers.

[amber-eyed-girl]

Even if no harm is meant by it, it can put buyers off. I agree with you. In the past threads like these have had that effect too. A seller can be great, and just be letting off a little steam, but it's the impressions that count.

[thecatspjs]

Given the thread has had well under 1000 views and will soon disappear from the front page of selling as nearly all threads do ...... given quite a few of those would be regular posters & lurkers who have seen far, far worse really awful stuff said about buyers .......also factoring in the multiple views by the same posters ........ as well as the likelihood that many buyers would not bat an eyelid as to anything posted on this thread and some may LOL,  I really don't think the impact of the OP's topic is all that dire or will signficantly contribute to a downturn in sales of any seller posting on this thread.

[amber-eyed-girl]

Thread count is not an accurate view of readers, no. These posts are also hosted on other websites, too. Someone posted the name of one such site a few months ago. I didn't keep a note of it though, but it surprised me that anyone outside of eBay would be interested.

There are search engines dedicated to forum posts, too.

Oh....I forgot to ask if the paint will dry before the kids get home from School so they won't be touching wet paint !?!?!?.....Sorry - Couldn't resist that one....
