Funny, weird, bad listings list!

While I do understand a seller's frustration with difficult buyers, this description in her listings made me laugh, especially the red part.


I can't be responsible if you don't "like" the way the item fits so PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS!! I do my best to describe the items as accurately as possible and my goal is to keep customers happy so if you need more details or pictures PLEASE ASK!! I can't predict whether you will think the item smells like febreeze or perfume or cheese or beef jerky or anything else, so I don't make any guarantee in that regard. I am happy to rewash any article of clothing before I send it to you if this is going to be a concern. If washing it isn't good enough, you may not want to bid on this item. I apologize if this sounds weird, but my items are very reasonably priced and I can't afford to cover the shipping costs on return items that are only priced at a few dollars because of some random issue that I did not specifically state in the description.

This is funny to me. "Like new" condition seller says. This bag is so not "like new" besides the lipstick she disclosed, look at the wear to the hardware among other things. Wowsa

There’s so much negativity in that copy, I’d keep away from buying anything from a seller like that, just on general principle.
 
It's been a while since this thread was updated so I figured it's a good time to bump it.

(Don't view on a full stomach!) It would have been so easy to crop!

OMG. I don't even want to imagine the rest of that scene.

And how does anyone collect over 200 "as is" sunglasses? What does this guy do, scrounge the ground below dozens of amusement park roller coasters and collect whatever flies off the riders?


ETA - Check it out, he must have cornered the world market on used sunnies. Maybe my comment about roller coasters isn't too far off.


I'm almost afraid to ask how he got all those t-shirts. :biggrin:

I could understand this price for a handbag if it were an Hermes Himalayan Birkin with diamonds, but a leather Chanel clutch? Seller has no recent feedback and many listings for used sneakers.

Sheesh!

I wonder if she did that hoping someone would make a $500 offer and think they were getting a steal at 1/10th of 1%.

Silly fishing expedition or a typo…
OMG!! NOT A TYPO!!

I was showing this listing to a friend and commented on the 1/2 million dollar price.

So she wrote to the seller:
Hi. Lovely bag but wondering - did you accidentally add some extra zeros to the price? 1/2 million dollars?

Seller's response:
Hello. And I mean it’s actually around this price worth wise. But that’s why I actually have a send offer choice as well.

To be honest it’s worth 690k a couple places because it’s a very rare bag and vintage. But can you make a different offer if you would like.

If it's worth "690k a couple of places" then perhaps that's where she should sell it. 😂

Exactly! Why sell for 200K less (or b.o.) if it's worth $690K?

And her listings are all hopelessly lacking in detailed pictures! (4 pictures of the $500K bag, none are closeups and none show the interior or authenticatable (?SP) details.)

Oh, and my friend got an offer from the seller for $490K.
