Best-Worst Comments on Items for Sale

Am I the only one who cringes/laughs when there is an item for sale and some one makes cringing comments or funny ones?

For example:

" For sale, 34.5 Magnesium alloy putter with forged titanium alloy insert, diamond aiming dot, unicorn skin grip with brand new T-Rex skin head cover, $4,000 O.B.O"

And someone posts,,,,,, " Man, if that was a 34.325 inch with a ruby sight dot, I would be all over it !!"

I take it with a grain of salt. Some just like to post something. Ever notice that too often clothing items have only been worn once (damn if they had been worn twice, I would have been all over that) :taunt:

Kids, what are you going to do!

I saw a 3 wood up on the BST the other day that had minor scratches on the face and it was labeled as MINTY. It’s not MINTY

Hit literally half of a range ball in perfect weather and was cleaned 13 seconds afterwards

You waited too long. If you'd have cleaned it in 10 seconds, I'd have paid double......

Meant “mintish”

I’ll take those comments all day over the slugs who write “I’ll take it” and then disappear after you send your PP address.

On a totally unrelated forum I belong to (its a hobby forum) I listed a ton of stuff for sale. A guy PMed me saying he wanted like 5-6 different items. I said great, here is what the final cost is and please PP me and I'll get everything sent out. I removed the items from the listing, boxed everything up (had to made my own packaging as one of the items was very oddly shaped--that took forever), and waited for him to get back to me. Few days goes by, then a week. I sent him a PM telling him everything was ready to go and that I was ready for his PP and to send it out.

Another week goes by, I PM him again. About 3 and a half weeks after he first contacted me I send him a message saying that if I don't hear from him soon I'm going to sell the items to someone else. Finally about 5 weeks after he contacted me I relist the items and sell them over the next couple of weeks. At like week 9 (after he first contacted me) I get a random paypal payment and a PM from him telling me to ship the items. I respond saying that I've sold the items and I'll refund the PP payment. The guy actually bitches me out and reports me to the moderator for selling items he'd already paid for. I was completely dumbfounded. The moderator contacted me and, after a very brief conversation, saw that I was in the "right."

Amazing what people do.

Wow. I think that’s as bad as I’ve seen.

dummy mark has been sharpied but you can't even tell it was ever there :taunt:

I've been selling items online for quite a while and have generally had nothing but positive experiences. This was by far the worst. I'm not sure if he got banned or just stopped using the forum but I haven't seen him post in quite a while.

" need to sell fast ! newish set of Callaway Rogue Pros' ..... Played once and can't seem to find the sweet spot. Wife comes with the purchase."

" need to sell fast ! newish set of Callaway Rogue Pros' ..... Played once and can't seem to find the sweet spot. Wife comes with the purchase."

Is she minty!?

Used but not abused.

This gave me a chuckle. I'm on a personal crusade to teach the younger generation the meaning of the term "mint" condition...as in a coin that has just come from the mint and is still flawless. So, let me stand atop my soap box and again shout to all who will listen (or read): listen up leople, there is no "minty," its just mint dammit, mint, mint. And yeah, gtfo my lawn. Lol

And someone posts,,,,,, " Man, if that was a 34.325 inch with a ruby sight dot, I would be all over it !!"

Another good retort - "If only it was free shipping, no way I'm paying $4,000 for this and then forking over another $25 for shipping"!

The ones that always get me are “quick sale”. As opposed to what? You wanted a long, drawn out sale? I presume they have nothing else to write but it adds nothing and is meaningless. Especially if not priced appropriately which is all too often the case. Quick sale, TaylorMade Burner Bubble driver, $85 to your door. Seriously

'Priced to sell'. It's listed for sale, what the hell else would it be priced for?

It’s not so much the comments that drive me nuts but when a seller says “All sold, close it up mods”. It’s not their job to close ads. It’s the sellers. So do your job.

Rant over.

I love it. This is like a support group for the BST frequents.

I actually had a guy PayPal me for something and then 4 minutes later ask me to refund him “since I had another buyer anyways.” LOL WAT

I've never had a transaction on this site, but have had more than 1 person accept a BIN on eBay, who contacted me within 10 minutes of the transaction and ask to renege. As long as it's done in a quick fashion I don't mind too much. I've been there before when the wife finally puts her foot down on irrational club purchasing and forces her hand.

I've never reneged on a deal myself, but have gone through months of "no benefits" to pay for that deal.

“Cannot be seen from address”

Read the full story, it’s a different forum.

GLWS <————pointless to post this, you don’t really care if they sell their item so no need to post your well wishes.

I tend to post this if it’s someone I know personally or a frequent good seller on here, guess I’ll stop.

I think my biggest gripe is that nearly every club I've bought on the BST was weird, really low or high swing weight, 5 or 6 degrees up right or flat, short or long, soft stepped, hard stepped, you name it. The Ad always says Standard Length, Loft, and Lie. If you don't know that doesn't make it standard.

The one there now that has me confused is a listing, of course Jordan shoe flips, 75 post seller, no feedback, but when you look at their post history, it shows nothing....Someone has figured out how to game the system beyond paying to list it looks like.

I usually avoid if "Hurry, it won't last long!" is involved.
