What's up with...
« on: June 06, 2014, 08:27:17 AM »
What's up with guys posting balls for sale and you can't get a reply back about anything?

I didn't low ball lol, I asked what he wanted for them shipped...

It's happening more frequently this year...Most of them are new users too..I want to say the last 4 inquiries have been unanswered...

I bet this is one of 49 places that they post their balls for sale. If they sell them elsewhere, they just never bother to come back. They probably only register to sell their balls and not to discuss.

Maybe they didn't feel you were worthy of owning one of their balls?  :o   ;D ;D

that's why I deal only in two places, FB and Ebay. lol I know this is a bowling site, but this post is one example why I rarely do any business here.

Does a round object have sides? I say yes, pizza has triangles..

I've bought, sold and traded here with reasonable success.

I had the same problem with a poster on this site but he wasn't a newbie.  Asked him twice what he wanted for some balls shipped to my ZIP and he skirted the question or didn't reply.  Oh well, I have spent that money on some other balls.

As have I. There will always be lowballers, the inept and the scammers.

That reminds of when I was trying to sell some audio equipment several years ago. I posted a relatively recent, well-reviewed piece for 50% of retail which was a good price for it. Some college kid who, in the audio market, have a reputation for low-balling everyone, offered like 30% of retail. For a $1500 item ($300 difference, kind of like offering $30 delivered for a Mastermind with 10 games on it) , that was totally insulting. I replied, "Would also like me to thrown in my eye-teeth and sister's virginity?" He failed to reply to my offer.

Idk, I'm guess I'm asking too much.  The knuckleheads on here, lately, are posting 50 balls, no prices.   I simply ask, no reply...

I am starting to have more success on FB then here. Ebay is a last resort due to the ridiculous fees. Here is hit or miss.
