Hey everyone, I guess this is an all right forum to post this in, so here goes. I wanted to know everyone's opinion on dealing with the younger users of the forum here. Yes, I am a younger user here, only 15 years old, but have had plenty of transactions (check out my profile!). After seeing the thread on what happened to Kenny, I do understand everyone's frustration, but I also saw comments about him being young and not responsible to handle a transaction. No offense to you, Kenny, though. I have talked to him a few times before, and he seems like a good kid.

Anyways, would dealing with a younger user influence on whether you buy/sell/trade with that user? Just a question that popped into my head today. I'm pretty bored, lol.

Thanks!

sorry, thats not what I mean.. I almost always puta price in my post so thats not the issue. The problem I have is when people ask 2 or 3 or more questions and have zero intentions of buying he ball because they don't the funds to buy the ball right now. I have no problem holding the ball for a few days for someone if they are serious about buying it, but I would like to know thats the case when they 1st message me..

I have no problems answering questions from people that are serious about buying something I have for sale..

Sorry, but as far as the person being afraid to say I am charging to much.. If thats the case and my price is more than they want to pay, why even message me in the 1st place??

I don't care how old the person is if they are a "serious buyer" for something I have for sale. I am SO tired of getting messages from people that ask questions about the ball and even ask how much shipping is and then tell me they will let me know something in 2 weeks!! Thats total BS..

My deal is this. If you don't have the money to buy the ball now, why ask any questions about it??

Sorry for the rant..

PS: In the past I have had a couple of bad experiences with younger users so I am a bit cautious when dealing with them now..

No offense, but why can't questions about the ball be asked, especially if the price isn't posted? So you're saying is if you don't have the price in your post, then it's probably too high so we shouldn't even ask? I think the buzz words are "I'll let you know in 2 weeks" really means they don't want it for what you're charging. Some people don't come out & say "You are charging more than I want to pay" because they don't want to start a war of words. Some sellers may be more sensitive than you are & the questioner doesn't want to offend. Just my .02.

I hear you guys about the questions. I had over 25 questions asked about 5 different balls and only sold one. As for dealing with teens are you going to ask everyone there age before you deal with them?
