Hi All,
would like to know if anyone has any tips or experience selling lenses or items through CS.
Anything to watch out for incase the buyer tries to be funny etc.
Appreciate any advise.
Thanks.
Nothing to watch out... Just make sure the buyer don't put airplane...
How to make sure buyer don't play you out, call police?
Can teach us your method...
Kindda lame...
Useful to those who take public transport only... Public transport including personal transport: WALK
First scenario:
Buyer can deal in the location you chose. You know buyer is a pilot*.
Deal at a place near your house... E.g CCK Lot1 for me.
Ask for confirmation. Buyer say meet at 03.30; CCK Lot1 new york new york for example.
Buyer say ok lah, but you think he want to put airplane.
3.25 give him a call, ask where him. He say On the way.
3.30 give him a call again. he say he reached. Wait for another 10 minute.
Within the 10min he call back: He is interested. Run like heck to meet him.
Within the 10min, no call, He put airplane.
To me, this save me the time for bringing out the product just to wait for a PILOT.
Second scenario:
This is quite a mean method for those serious buyer.
Buyer cannot deal in the location you chose. You know buyer is a pilot*.
Lets say. you are selling a huge/bulky item.
You live CCk, He live Changi. He cannot deal in Lot1. How? Most of you see this problem. I know. I meet this problem too...
Just stay at your house and do this well do...
Dealing at City hall Mrt. For example.
Calculate the time fron changi to cityhall... E.g. 30min.
He want to meet you at 5pm raffles place Macdonald. Just on top of the MRT station.
4.15pm call where him. He say he just leave his house.
4.30pm call/message him where him. He say on the way.
4.40pm say you reach. He say ok. He say he at paya laber...
Second scenario Part A:
He is a serious buyer.
5pm. He reach. He automatic call you. (Because you at home, you can't possibly meet him in 5min unless you can fly...)
Tell him in a very polite manner that you are sorry, something cropped up, took a cab backed home already. Too anxious, forget to give you a call.
Tell him: "How bout' dealing tomorrow or anytime the buyer wants..."
If he is serious enough, he will say: Ok. I'll message you later about the timing tomorrow"
Second scenario Part B:
He is a pilot*
5pm, Wait for his call that he reach. But there wouldn't be... But he called you, continue with part A.
Sit down and relax...

Ps. I only do this 2 method if i really believe that he is a pilot.
But sometimes, assuming is wrong.
*Pilot - He put airplane.

I check out the price and condition of similar item in B&S which I intent to sell, and price my item slightly lower than what I found there. and usually my items are sold within very short period, some even on the same day.Hi All,
would like to know if anyone has any tips or experience selling lenses or items through CS.

Thanks.
Selling at $XXX.00. this price is fixed. None negotiable.
I have ensure both are in good working condition and all parts, accessories are in place before put up for sale, so items will be sold at it is, please check items before make the deal, no personal warranty will given.
NO Reservation, First Come First Serve.
Place to view and deal is MY PLACE, weekday anytime, please PM or email if interested.
Those who make offer lower than $XXX.00, or propose other meeting venue beside MY PLACE, your PM, SMS, and emails will be ignored.
thanks for all the replies man. really insightful. infact, i was more interested in the what to do when the buyer take your lens and run option. LOL!
wa...steady u quite an imaginative guy, :thumbsup: as u can conjur up so many possible scenarios..or is it ur personal experience?
I get really piss of when sellers overstate the item condition, so do take note on that.

Yup... same experience.
Seller stated condition 10 for a body, when I checked the condition is not even 8 :bigeyes:
Wasted my time only leh...
Meet at your nearby police post, let them witness the trade. if unsincere/pilot buyer will not come...
i once met a buyer who owned a troupe of pigeons.
he had trained them to bomb sellers with their cargo. they would identify the target as the one with a rose in their hair. thankfully i realised his ploy quickly after i saw the pigeons zooming at me, else he would have taken my lens and ran away and i would just be standing there with a flower in my hair.
so beware, especially when buyers make funny requests , like "meet me at the top storey of the multistorey carpark, with a rose in your hair."
