I know this has been an old topic but I really feel the situation now in B&S is getting out of hand.
There is a huge difference in the quality of sellers and buyers.
Let me share some of my dealing experience.
Buyers
Lowballing
Some buyers claim that they could buy the item I sold in any shops and they request for a price slash. Usually, I ignored those smses. Still remembering selling off my 450d (good condition) plus phottix grip for 650 dollars. It's a very good deal and people kept offering 600 dollars. I received a lot of smses that kept asking for low price.
Bargaining
I dont mind people bargaining before the real deal. But there are some people who have the audacity to ask for a price slash on the spot even though they agreed on the price before hand through smses. I have such experience before.
Put aeroplanes
There is one particular buyer agreed to meet up for a deal. On that day, he said he was late due to an appointment prior to the deal. Ok, I waited. But then, he said he was caught up with a jam. Ok, I waited. After that, I received a sms saying that he couldnt make it because he had another appointment to go. I waited for 30 mins and he said he couldnt make it.
Sellers
I always deal with people who have a long history in clubsnap. I am always very careful with the person I deal with.
Indecisive
But there is one incident whereby I post something in B&S section to buy something. Then there is this guy who pmed me to sell off his grip. I was interested and smsed him to deal.
Then he smsed me back to hang on because he had an another offer from somebody who is able to buy his grip and camera as a bundle. Thus, I automatically become second in priority. I mean, yes, u have every right to call off the deal but isnt it unfair and not as trustworthy being a seller?
