I get this message:
Hi, may I buy your breezies please, all except meadow moon. I would also like a couple of the carts please. Thank you.
I reply:
I've got Tumbletop, Silly Lily and Fluffaluff left. All the carts are still available.
For over 2 weeks there is no reply and then:
Hi, thanks so much for getting back to me. I am currently not looking for those.
Let's see. You messaged me asking to buy every single one (except Meadowmoon, lol) and a couple of carts. I reply to your message having sold a couple since it's been 2 months since I posted the damned ad you're asking about, and now suddenly you want none of them? Okay.
They're always complaining about ebay prices on those boards. Well, stop and think for a minute about why people sell them on ebay instead of your boards.
You know why?
Because they can ask more than $2 without someone bitching that they're too poor, you're asking too much.
Because there's a time limit on your replies.
Because you have to pay within a certain time frame or your account may get a NPB ouchie.
There's no "hold this for me indefinitely, 2 years from now I might buy it when I scrape up the other $3"
When I go to sell off the rest of my collection, it's going on Etsy, eBay and/or Bonanza. It's not going through those boards. It's worth it to pay a fee to not deal with excessive headaches and tying up of merchandise.
