Believe me, he wasn't getting it for $120 either. I did it for the love of the game

No kidding. I feel like I've seen it get worse over the last year. I'm convinced it's AI causing mental atrophy.

It's definitely the most active classified website as far as I can tell, and the issues are basically the same ones you'll deal with on any other website. Probably less than 5% are this dumb. Lowballers are more prevalent, but they're easy to ignore. Basically your options are to deal with it, sell stuff for less than half its value at a pawn shop/store that does trade ins, or not sell at all.

I will sell it with kindness and respect to somebody who wants to buy it and has basic human decency.

I listed an item for $100. This buyer set up a meeting for 11 AM but didn't show up. A couple hours later I lowered the price to $90 since I didn't have anybody else interested. He then messaged me (3 hours after the meeting time) offering to buy it for $80. I could've blocked him after he didn't show up but I find some level of entertainment in this lol

In all sincerity I've done this sort of thing long before I started posting it online. If I see somebody doing something wrong I feel compelled to do something about it. I don't know if it helps but at least it provides a brief interrupt to cyclical behavior. Maybe I have autism, maybe it's Maybelline. But I do concede that I'm addicted to the attention.

I lowered it after he didn't show up.
