I had a roommate once ask me to come with him to buy a $40 table he found off Craigslist.
We show up, they show him the table.
“k I’m all ready to take this home, the thing is… I only have $20.”
Motherfucker brought me in just to help pressure them into his haggling.
I mean yes it worked, but I was so goddamn uncomfortable. I have no idea what happened to him/we haven’t kept in touch, but it sadly wouldn’t surprise me if he was some god awful CEO.
I’ve had people come by and try that shit. “oh, that’s no problem. I can wait until you get the other twenty.” “I really can’t because blah blah but I can help you get it off your hands now!” “oh no, that’s fine. I don’t mind waiting. Plus we would both feel bad if you paid twenty. You would be robbing me!” “Blah blah.” “Oh, it’s just 20 dollars?” “Blah blah.” “Oh no, I’m not as rich as you!” “Blah blah” " You know what? I like you but I really can’t do that!" “Blah blah blah” “Then what’s 20 dollars between friends?” “Exactly!” “Blah blah blah!” “Wow, I never considered that but you’re gonna make me look bad in front of my wife. I have to think of my family.” “blah blah.” “oh yes of course, blah blah.” “blah, blah, blah.” “You’re right I could use that twenty to get my wife something nice right now but really I’m not selling. We’re saving up. There’s an ATM around the corner.” “Blah blah blah.” “Banking fees? Of course, I didn’t consider that. That wasn’t very thoughtful of me! I don’t mind holding on to it for you, if you want you can leave twenty behind as a deposit” “Blah blah blah.” “No, you have my number plus you know where I live. We’re both honest men or are we not?” “Blah blah blah?” “Yeah, I gotta get up early too. Maybe a cup of coffee before you go?” “blah blah blah.” “Two sugars and no milk? No problem!”
It’s the reason I stopped doing garage sales.
I’ve walked away from deals like that out of spite, just to see the look on their entitled faces. Fuck your $20 I’ll just donate it.
That’s way too mich effort spent on those morons. If they don’t have the money then I tell them leave and go back to what I was doing before. I am not about to spend any amount time entertaining someone who is trying to rip me off. I don’t even care if they somehow “find” the rest of the money. I’m done dealing with them. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
This happened to me in reverse. I had that stone top table, that was heavy beyond believe. Really nice table, but i didn’t want it anymore and sold it for like 100 bucks or something. I said that they have to bring at least another dude, big enough car, and i would help them load it and whatnot. Dude showed up, with the weakest, most obese person he could find, so i called my neighbour for help and thought i’ll just give him the 100 dollars, since the table was giving the table away for basically free anyway. So me and my neighbour did basically all the work, because of how out of breath and incompetent they were. When we were downstairs, we put it down and started to think about loadimg it in. Then the guy said somethimg like: btw, i only got 60 dollars, i assume that’s fine. I tipped over the table, smashing it to pieces and told them that now it’s 60 dollars. I hate people so much
I always give the money first when I buy something used to balance out the karma of those pieces of shit.
I would have taken the table out of spite and tell the guys to fuck off.
Wait did you actually tip it and break it? That’s awesome I want to know this spite story is true.
stone top table
Fliesentisch?
Dear monsieur Seth Rogen, please make my movie about the man who changes the label on his wife’s rock tumbler to say “cock tumbler” which inadvertantly turns it into some kind of magic lamp type device like in Aladdin. The dick genie inside can grant you 3 wishes but they all have to be cock related. The genie smokes a dick shaped bong and laughs heheheheheheheheheheheh.
Please give me 12 million dollars.
Why are we still letting this shitty LLM spam the comments with unrelated word soup still?
Wowsers you still think I’m using an LLM and that I’m not just a complete moron with a boring desk job? Maybe you should go buy yourself some [insert adjective] ice cream.
30k each, won’t break up the set, plus 10k transaction fee.
If you ask me “how much?”, the price goes up, until you stop asking. Especially if I’ve added “firm” after the asking price. Because, I don’t negotiate with idiots.
So…how much?
Firm ;)
I would ask who in their right mind would pay $30,000 for shoes, but then I remembered that rich people aren’t in their right minds.
It might be 30,000 Iranian Rials. The current exchange rate of one Iranian rial to the US dollar is 0.00. If so, those shoes are practically free!
$1 is only 1,341,580.19 rial, it’s not thaaat bad.
Note to self: make shoes to sell to rich people
Noted…don’t ask a sneakerhead stupid questions after 4:20 PM.
don’t ask a sneakerhead
stupid questions after 4:20 PM.about anything at any time, ideally
So just for some context the shoes in the image appear to be “Asics Gel-Nyc - Graphite Grey/Black”. Which do not cost US$30’000. So I dunno what currency the price is in, if it is not just a fake image.
Sounds like rupees to me

Not hard to outsmart someone that would pay 30k for a pair of shoes tbh
TheYojimbo@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Depends on the currency tho
brap@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
100%. 30,000 Ugandan Dollars for example is less than 8USD. This could be anywhere.
