So I thought I'd see how this one fares up as I have quite a few household items which I could do with getting rid off and thought I'd put them on Facebook and see how the marketplace is, bearing in mind I've put very considerate prices even for items that are still brand new and unopened, people still have the audacity to offer ridiculous prices.
First example would be a baby video monitor which retails for £109 which I've put up for £70 as it was an unwanted gift. Almost 10 messages asking "Is this available?" and no further reply made after responding, one user messages back and says "£15 will pick up today can pay cash ASAP". I mean, really? What are these people thinking? A part of me just wanted to troll her somewhat for making such a ludicrous offer but figured what's the point.
It's not just Facebook however, have had similar encounters at other places like Gumtree.
Anyone else had similar experiences on these platforms when selling goods? Not sure what's worse, people asking if item is available and then not saying anything more or the absurd offers they think that will get accepted.
