  1. I am glad that it isn't just me. I look at this thread occasionally, just for entertainment. My reaction is that most of it is overpriced crap that I wouldn't touch with yours.

    Much of it is traders pretending they are not and individuals pretending they are traders. There isn't even a universal agreement on whether it is best to be a trader of not.

    The only agreement seems to be that it is just best to pretend.

    Are they so stupid not to know that with Google Maps and Street View, these things are easily checked without even getting off your arse? Obviously, they are and so busily wrapped up in their fantasy world that they do not get it.
     
  2. First and foremost mines not for hire unless of course it's a very attractive wealthy widow,;) and secondly everything is negotiable in life, but do agree a lot of Arthur Daley's out there operating with blunt & sharp scythes.
     
  3. Yes everything is negotiable but I don't get the attitude. Somewhere like Fowlers of Bristol could stick on £10k to the price of every bike. They could justify it by saying, "well, everything is negotiable" and then the staff could then rattle around the empty shop until they close down. I am a bit old-fashioned here. If I wanted to sell a bike then I would be honest and set the price fairly using a guide (Glasses, MCN, Autotrader and looking at about) but not set it at some random over-inflated price to try and rip off someone - or just be laughed at. I would not waste my time to go and look at some rip-off priced bike in the hope of talking the price down. I just couldn't be bothered.

    A lot is revealed about the seller in the ad. They may not realise but if somebody starts out with the attitude that they hold all the cards and may ,if you beg, sell to you, then I am not interested in looking.
     
  4. !00% with you on the advert layout photographs and wording etc, and if they don't respond to simple questions about the history of the said item for sale then yes give them the bird everytime, with plenty more on the tarmac for sale it's a buyers market on the odd day or two.

  8. If it's a short advert that means your responding to questions all night, why put yourself through that nonsense.: unamused:
