Have I Ever Told You How Much I Hate Selling Toys?

No? LOL. Now I have had three toy deadbeats in one week's time. One was a My Little Pony toy. This bitch went out of her way to outbid someone else and then never paid. Unpaid Assistant got her and I relisted.

Then there is the chick from my previous "Layaway" post here. She made me a Best Offer, also on a MLP toy. One would think that if she was making an offer, she should have known how much she had to work with and expected to pay immediately. Nope.

I accepted, lowered the shipping price on it, sent her an invoice, and then she messaged me a couple of days later with the previously quoted message with the request for 5 more days.

This last one is a doll, the person is not a NPB yet, but I feel like she might end up being one. I find that if they don't pay within the first few hours, they generally won't.

Sometimes I post things for sale on My Little Pony message boards. The people there are always fickle, they always ask if you have something other than what you actually posted for sale. They request you to "hold" something and then never get back to you, or they wait months to answer a post and ask if you still have the item.

If you're so fuckin' interested in something, it should be simple.

You message seller, say "If you still have that, I want it, mark it sold", wait for payment info and pay. Seller marks it sold and sends it. Simple. Transaction done.

Ugh. I guess it's what I should expect from adults who watch cartoons, call themselves ponies, and dress up like them.

I used to collect MLP. Rabidly. I never felt the need to dress up like Fluttershy and prance around with pink hair while quoting a really rather asinine cartoon, and discussing the different personality characteristics of animated pony toys with other like-minded nimbuses. Even when I was a kid and I had the original toys, I cringed about the 1980's cartoons associated with them and refused to watch them

The only reason I have even seen this newest cartoon is because my husband (who is very immature, BTW) watches Transformers on the HUB and sometimes I catch part of a MLP cartoon or commercial about it. I cringe inwardly at its stupidity as he looks at me expectantly like he thinks that because I collect them I should be watching this schlock or something. Lame.

I hate selling toys with the burning intensity of 100,000 suns! Things for kids attract people with the mentality of them.
