Vent For A Minute!!! Lol

[ULG]

Just let me start by saying that i really enjoy this site and its intentions!!! my vent isnt about this site at all but maybe just about a certain type of person , not even on this site but sometimes ppl remind me of other ppl that are FOS! you can figure out that for yourself! lol but im sure everybody knows "the guy" that says "im gonna buy this and im gonna get that" or hey i wanna buy this from you or im looking for this item knowing you have it and hoping to for you to practically give it to them!!! i know a guy that says im looking for this rod, so i say i got this rod and its used for what your looking for and all the while telling everybody that hes gonna get this certain thing when he finds it or somene has it. so i say hey man, i got what ur looking for and his response is... "nah, i aint got the money" but ya kno what? dont broadcast your false intentions if they are only window shopping thoughts!!! one thing i dont and will not do is BS a man!!! im upfront and expect nothing less. if thats the case, i probly wont associate much with you after you true color is revealed. but the reason for this vent is i recently had an experience with a forum member that said he wanted to buy, in the end, he wasa offering jsut about everything but cash!!! so i said, id rather js sale this item, and his response..."im short on cash.." so i guess the lesson is dont be FOS ppl!!! lol! ok im done. hope everybody thats not FOS has a good day and the rest of you, hope your day is FOS! lol just kidding guys! wish you all happiness and good health cz its not me you gotta worry about, thanks for listening!!!

I had the same thing happen a while back. Guy asking about a certain crank, I had two. Replied, agreed on a price, gave paypal info, waited and waited finally told me don't have the cash. So I was ticked and like fine I will sell them on fleabay make more money that the deal I had...man they sold for pennies on the dollar LOL learned my lesson, better off keeping the tackle I think I don't need then worrying about a few bucks.

There are people that are so socially handicapped this is the only way they can get people to talk with them.

 

Years ago I worked PT at a friends store; we had people come in and take up your time asking questions about products with no intention of buying anything.  We had regulars do this so we passed them off to the younger sales staff as sales training on how to deal with shoppers.

[tomustang]

Yep. That's about all the commenting I can say on the subject.

[ULG]

yea we all kno 1 or 2 of em. me n a buddy get a kick out of him all the time. o well to each his own. now i can bs all day but when it comes down to really knowing something and talking about something, u can t bs your way out that one with me!!! lol but thanks guys, and im glad u got ur money out of fleabay, iv heard some real horror stories about that joint!

If that bothers you, you should probably stay clear of being a car salesman. Some people are genuine when it comes to not having the cash, something may of came up where they had to spend savings or something. Sometimes people think out loud as well. If you didnt lose anything i wouldnt be so upset over it.

[ULG]

not upset or have no intentions and worried how long somebody would say that line! lol but im not hurting at all just kinda bothers me when a person communicates for days inquiring about an item and talks like they plan on buying, but maybe put it out there as "might buy" lol. but im good with it, but dont say i dont have the money when it comes down to paying for it! ya kno. would you go to bass pro with a cartfull of baits and stuff after talking and getting help with you r shopping needs, after trying 10 dif rods and 10 dif reels on those 10, with help and all ur questions answered correctly and politely, u got help  with picking out line for all your applications all to just get to the counter after the cashier rings it all up and tell her..."i dont have the money for this..." cmon man, really just put it out there that u aint got it. but thats js me. but like said to each his own and i gs u gotta weed threw a few to get a handful of good ones, cz whats the fun in life always going the way we want it to? right??? lol im good tho, hope all u guys are too, cz the way i figure, if this is my biggest complaint as of today, im doin pretty dang good! lol thanks agian guys!

[SPEEDBEAD.]

LOL, FOS.

 

That cracked me up.

Ok, ironic that i posted this and a guy backed out saying tht he had a problm with paypal. Never got a reaponse on the "i take money order, casheirs check, personal check, and cash..." ironic that he said he paid n it never showed up... Ironic that iv seen the same person posting inquing about similiar things in th flea market??? Ironic that as soon as he has a paypal problm, hes asking about similiar lots??? Most ironic that i posted about something like this!!! Lol o well! Maybe i shuda posted this after the deal was done??? Lol who knows, just kinda ironic is all, had numerous msgs regarding and working out a deal, even packed up th lot n was waiting for the payment to say sent with th shipping info. All to have a complete lot ready to be shipped to no buyer... Lol its a good packing job too if i might add!!! Lol anyway js thot i woukd share that ironic experience with u guys, moral of th story tho..........FOS!!!!! Lol Have a good holiday folks!!!!

Buying and selling shouldn't be this difficult.

[ULG]

like in the earlier post, ppl come into a store looking around and asking all kindds questions just to look around and not ever buy anything. but o well, i gs some ppl have nothing better to do than BS with ppl like they plan on buying something, i was always the type, hate to waste ppls time with my non commitment. but like i said o well. no big deal really. i get a laff about it now tho. i even threw in a couple spinnerbaits just to make the sale! but th kicker is that saw the guy checkin out another guys cranks!!! the same baits he was gonna buy from me!!! lol but buying and selling really shudnt be hard at all, i think ppl make it hard tho, i think u can ask questions with no intention to buy but dont drag it out or say, im really just looking or make ur intetnions known in the beginning is all im saying, dont pose ads something ur not is all. just be honest and be urself but i gs thats all some ppl are and thats FOS!!! lol thanks again for the comments guys

They're called "tire kickers."  You usually can only convert 5% of them to "customers."
