How many ways can you ask the same ball questions before it gets annoying?

After asking you 5-7 times, he then asks the same question(s) on the public forum, and then still doesn't take the advice you gave.

I agree.. or how about this one...

You have a user that ask 20 questions about the same ball you have for sale and then at the end tell you they would love to have it, but they don't get their "allowance" for 2 more weeks!! Geez, that really strikes a nerve.. I just don't get it.. If your not a serious buyer and don't have the money available, why ask about it??

I also get so tired of sending pics to users for a ball I have for sale and not even getting the common courtesy of a reply back saying yes or no..

Sorry for the rant..

Isn't the title of this post an oxymoron?

I know who your talking about too! I have answered the same questions about a pearl Uranium, at least 4 times, even offered one for sale to him to try. Just about to the point of the ignore user feature with him.

I liked it better when the "IGNORE USER" feature also stopped him from sending you messages.

I've had several of these newbies send me messages asking for various kinds of help; then asking a TON of questions requiring LOTS of typing, which I do. I figure they want/need some help. I offer what I can. Two days later, they've posted the same question(s) in 8 different forums. Arrgh! Do they think I was lying to them? Was I making up fairy tales?

Well, I've heard that when you say "no" you really mean "yes".  Is that true?
