why does it seem that the majority of buyers on ebay are morons? seriously, i just got this sob story

I don't want to keep my son's hopes up if your reserve is out of his birthday money price range, so, may I please know your reserve? If we don't know the reserve number we have to hit, and bid $5.00 less than your reserve, we won't win the auction, and you won't sell your item.

what should i say, my reserve is 5 million :D

I get so many sob stories it's ridiculous. I just don't even respond when I get messages asking for my reserve. Another thing I hate is when some idiot sends a message offering like $500 cash for a psp or something and then egay sends a fraud alert like 30 seconds later. Stupid asses running me hot with that bullshit.
 
yeah you definately get the dreggs on ebay far too often -sometimes u just gotta laugh though
 
Yep I have heard some interesting ones as well. I have definitely heard the son's birthday present one lol.
 
Just tell them you'll be willing to give to their son for free if the wife give your oral.
 
MmM. Oral. I think I got my seller account banned not replying to stupid messages. Prolly got some complaints. Another thing I hate is when an idiot bids $100,000 on an item cause he "typoed". Goawd.

i hardly respond, especially when their question is answered in 'auction terms'

i swear...what part of 'NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING' don't people understand?

From my experience, usually those wanting international shipping are the idiots trying to run one.
 
they arent idiots, tehy are scam artists, grifters.

I was selling PS3s and sold 2 of them to nigerian scam artists

had to relist the things, but the pirces on them had droppped 200-400 bucks
 
Everytime I have ever listed a reserve auction I always get asked the same thing. "What is your reserve?" DUH. Get's old.
 
I'd kick them in the face and say "bitch, you need to bid, and if your bid doesn't meet the reserve, it will say 'reserve not met' and you will know little timmy is F*CKED for his BDAY HAHAHAHA" then you run off, continue laughing, etc. Maybe get some beer, whatever.

Seriously, people are crafty. Be nice, but don't bend over backwards for the people who ONLY want to reach your reserve - there are more bad reasons to want to know that then good, and your reserve may be lower than you intend to reach for the item.
