I disagree, some of these people are straight up dumb. I clearly posted in the ad that I am looking for particular brands only, to send me a picture of your saw and a price you would like to get for it. I have gotten several offers for brands that are not listed, I have been asked if I am buying these saws, even though the ad says send me your price, and I have even had people asking me for parts for their saws, which even if I had parts for sale, it wasn't one of the brands I had listed. No I don't have a pull starter for your Homelite saw, I am buying Husqvarnas.Not dumb, they are just trying to peddle their wares. Often it's stuff nobody wants so they are desperate to get it out of the door. It's normal.
As are the silly near new prices. I've actually seen a used Honda UMK425 trimmer advertised for more than the then current promotional pricing by Honda (which included VAT).
An acquaintance who used to work for Ford told me in their sector it's called "aspirational pricing", and it's absolutely normal until people actually start paying those stupid prices.
And the flakes are the worst part. I had a guy tell me he was going to meet me several times. I wait around and no response. 5 hours later I get a message saying "just saw your text". You mean the text I sent 10 seconds after you sent me one? And then when they ask if we could meet up and when I tell them a time and place, they never respond back. Or when you agree on a time and place and write them to say I am on the way, and they never respond, etc. etc.. These people are dumb!
So long story short, my ad has gotten lots of responses, but has yet to yield me a single saw.
