Weirdest Question asked when selling gear?

"Will you throw in shipping to "

I'm with you sc53. Whenever I get the 128 questions or the "I MUST get another $10 out of you" type, I know it's
not going to be worth my time to deal with this person.

"Gosh, you're WAY OVER MY HEAD with these questions. Try tech support (and getting a life)."

I agree with you SC53. I sold an Adcom power conditioner and listed it as "very good" condition. The person who bought it who did not ask about condition had a fit because they found a small nick in the paint on one corner.

I sold my VPI Aries setup here on agon, and had one intrepid inquirer ask if he could pay for the table in monthly installments over the next 12 months. Hello? Am I a bank now, or maybe you should just get a friggin' job....I told him sure, I'll take the full purchase price upfront as a downpayment, with 0% interest thereafter for 12 months. LOL

There are some deadbeats on agon, you have to admit...

I don't think it is unreasonable to ask about the history of a component. If the unit has been serviced it may or may not indicate a problem. If you feel comfortable buying something that has made a couple of trips back to the factory, knock yourself out but I will pass. I ask for serial number and try to get a feel for the person selling. I want to know that I can trust them and if I have a bad feeling a walk away. I am also not interested in a unit that has bee sold several times. Again, I don't want to discourage you, but I don't want something that has been shipped around several times and may or may not have problems. I have bought and sold a lot of things on this site with good success so far by being carefull. I don't want to be offensive but if you find my questions to hard to deal with I will move on, spend my money some other way, and we will both be happy. Thanks
