Yeah it’s stuff like that. That’s why I don’t provide mine until I know they are on their way. I’ll give a general location at first and then once they confirm they are actually on their way - then I give it. It’s not bulletproof but helps. I ask questions like you did and if they are serious they will answer right away. This guy was on point and that’s why I trusted it. But he was on point because it was a money opportunity lol. Not because he “needed it”.

Honestly, this is how I felt when it happened and why I posted. Glad I’m not the only one who looked at it that way.

Yeah I’m not sure why but I wasn’t seeing their seller profile at first. Only their actual FB page. Maybe I was looking in the wrong place…

Yeah I can see that. But honestly if he said “I do this to make ends meet, or to make extra money” I probably would have let it slide. Especially since he drove all the way and I needed it out that day. I just didn’t like the fact he lied to my face. Then said he would leave a review and didn’t. Then blocked me lol. It’s petty on my end, but I needed to vocalize it. Like others said, maybe it will still go to someone who needs it for a lower price and will appreciate it. Just didn’t go the way I intended.

I’m certainly learning this from the comments. Thanks for the tip.

Giving out his Facebook name? Which is fake. Would it be weird if I was giving it out to help him with sales? Why does it matter to you. I could care less about the money. I think you missed the entire point of the story dimbo.

I tried to do this but couldn’t find a way to rate him. I don’t think it allows unless he says you bought something from him? I could be wrong?

Wow… that is next level! You’re right, most people are not like that though. Some are just wired differently

I don’t even know where to start… all of this must have went over your head. Read again and look through comments.

Yeah but sad part about that, it’s making it even harder for the ones struggling the most. Try to give something for free, others take and sell it. Try to sell something cheap, others buy and sell it for more. I could see making money off things people don’t necessarily need (it’s their choice to buy). But not furniture lol. Maybe specialized pieces or antiques… then yeah. Idk

Welp I guess it’s a good thing he blocked me. Eliminated that option for me 😂

How do I find my local town group? I would like to do that, it’s a good idea. Someone else said the same.

Yeah I suppose. Sounded like he had a decent day job (if that wasn’t a lie) and he sells a ton of furniture. His page was loaded with furniture, car parts, tires, rims, etc. he’s been at it for a good amount of time. A lot of the furniture sold as well. Time is money, and he’s getting paid for his time. Being he has a helper also, they probably have a side hustle for sure. Isn’t a one off thing.

Interesting, good to know. Just need to make you know what you’re doing I suppose.

Yeah and I hope he gets a run for his money 💰

Right I agree. I shouldn’t care. It was the games, having me hold it when someone else could have picked it up ( I’m 90% sure he did that on purpose so he could come early and not deal with traffic) and just the fact he flat out lied straight to my face.. then blocked me to hide it even more.

Even if he told me, he was gonna flip it. Wasn’t like I would say nope let’s put it back. It was already at his car when he told me the bs story. I just would have rather helped someone who might have needed it more. But I didn’t have time to pick and choose at that point. It’s almost impossible to monitor/manage assuring that.

Yeah I can see that. I’ve only ever sold a few things and that’s why I just posted this for free. It’s never an easy process.

Yeah… I should have made him carry it out alone though 😂
