I had the bad luck to encounter two jokers here from CS when I was trying to sell my Panasonic LX3. This happened to me on two separate occasions. Talk about deja vu.
Both times, we agreed on a price and meeting place. Inevitably, the buyers would be late. And start texting me questions about the camera (when it's all clearly detailed in the ad).
Then would come the lowball offer. 'Eh, someone offered me less. Can cheaper?' etc. I've also heard, 'Buying for a fren. She saw it for $250 at Penin'. All this after we agreed on $300.
Of course, neither of them wants to pick up the phone when I ring. Both even have the cheek to keep offering me less after I walked away (they never turned up).
I say we have a thread where we name and shame these jokers. Put their handphone numbers and names in a sticky.
Anyone else have horror stories like these?
I also blogged about the incident in details for those who want a blow-by-blow.
