[quote name='73Jazz' post='1189029' date='Apr 5 2011, 02:16 PM']I did 3 transactions here before on basschat an all went through very nice and smooth. great community here, great gentlemen to find as well!
but through my last for sale thread i am understanding alsothe different experiences here.
in detail.
i am offering a GL 2000 with a ding. to be honest and not hiding anything i took clear pictures of it.
a user contacted me and is a little bit concerned about this ding and asked for closeups with bright light.
so i went outside my house in full light and used also flashlight, so he could see this in detail. but to be proactive and clear all misunderstandings out, i also took a video of it,
so that he definitely is able to see how it is "in nature" as possible. So he has pictures, detailed pictures, clear pcitures with full light and a high quality video.
After this, he offered me 300 Euro, while i was asking for 350 GBP, which is in my oppinion a great deal for the bass.This means, his offer is roundabout 100 GBP less then what i am looking for and what is in fact 100GBP under a great price!?
So after this inpolite offer after my actions to make him happy, i didn`t answer this user again.
today there is another gl 2000 offered for 330 GBP and the user contacted me again, telling me about this bass and offering me 300 GBP for the bass.
Up to this point everything is no problem for me.But..
I answered word for word this:
" Hi,
thanks for your offer. You should go for the black one
kind regards"
Now, i have learned something!!!
he answered:
"Maybe i will. No need to be a dick about it though"
So i am a dick
edit:
oh i read this afterwards
"but is there really call for the attitude?"
This one is great..thanks.
I don`t want to offend you personally, but i think it is funny how you see the facts. you offered me once 300 Euro.
But please, do not start this as a verbal catfight in our case.
Everything is fine to me.
And to be honest, to recommend you to go for the cheaper one, is nothing i could see wrong in.
all the best to you[/quote]
I don't think asking for more information about a damage item is unreasonable - and as for the Euro thing, as u explained that was a misunderstanding on my part - I thought it was advertised at 350€, not £.
It's a ferking great big dent whether you like it or not. If undamaged , comparable instruments go for less than you're asking for a damaged one then it's not unrealistic to use that as a bargaining tool. If you don't like it, just don't respond.
