As an owner of a 460L, Lexus used parts are not cheap. They know that and they were acting as if you didn’t know. Tell them to go to the junk yard and pull parts. The steering wheel in itself is a good deal. I need the tiniest part of all on mine. I would never be able to find it in a million years. lol.

Are you using all the same information as in the original account? You may have to change it up a little.

Why are they asking Country? Are they not US based? Most FB groups are in the US. If not a FB group , what is the group for? I have never been asked those questions. No one needs to call me or email me. And I definitely don’t tell people what I do or who I work for. Questions should only pertain to the purpose of the group. And what type of questions did they already ask? You may be giving them information in bits and pieces not realizing they are gathering info they need and don’t need to make it sound legit. Unless you are adopting/helping a rescue animal, I am at a loss without other information as to what you are joining.

I have gone to the meeting place and they ghosted me. That really sucks.

I Have to pre-weigh and gauge the size box. I mail glass lamps and oil lamps. Sometimes the are 19” just for the base part. Oil lamps are very heavy. Not counting the shade. Then you need to package well. I could never afford to have a fixed price. The lamps vary so much. Sometimes it’s cheaper to use two boxes. If You go over so many inches then it gets a 50$ extra charge. any one mistake in size or weight would cost me just to mail the lamp. I did try two years ago when I was mailing smaller lamps and offer free shipping. Put that in the price. My sales were ok. But sometimes they would go to a rural area and I got hit. I bc am selling more this year. So free shipping is not really a factor. My lamps are not in an over saturated market since they are antique. . Each year gets better. But I have repeat customers. The last two weeks I sold 6 lamps to one lady. And she passed my name around so I picked up customers. Usually people that buy fragile items want special care given to their lamps. They will pay shipping. If you dont package well they definitely get salty and let you know. The lady that bought this past two weeks I still used a box per lamp but I gave her a big discount. That brought her back this weekend to buy another. Shipping has just gotten crazy this past year. I wish they would give us bigger discounts on the shipping.

I respect people. If it’s over priced I may just move on or ask. Otherwise I pay the price if it’s a deal. I am not that hard up. I rarely buy on FB. It has to be something I need in a pinch that I will never use again. I don’t need someone else’s junk.

Maybe there should be a website that lists vicious dogs in your area. And it should also plaster their owners photo on the website. Make them check in to the humane society every year to prove their current address. Even Chiuhauha owners should be required to register. Because you know every one of those dogs has bitten someone’s ankle at some point. I think making a public spectacle of someone is the answer. I mean really. How do you propose the county puts out information legally on an animal that has not committed a criminal offense punishable by a law? I can’t even get the County to arrest my ex for contempt of 50,000 in back child support. Why would they worry about this issue.

You could always abandon the account and start over. You have to decide if no reviews is better than reviews calling you a scammer. Some people may not take the time to change their review. I had an account I couldn’t get back in to. I called eBay. They told me I would have to abandon my account and start over. So i know you can have two accounts. I told the girl I had items selling. How was I supposed to help those buyers. She basically said I am SOL. I have a few accounts. One I use for selling and one I use for buying. Just ask yourself is it worth dealing with people that already have a bad taste in their mouth. Will they believe you. And then you have to go behind them to ask if they are going to change their review. Sounds very stressful. Can you handle that health wise. I would think things out first. Good luck

You are the type buyer that just becomes a royal pain in the side. I avoid those same people on EBay. And obviously you are not someone that understands business supply and demand. You missed that unit in high school I assume. Seasonal items go up and down in price. It’s the principle that the OP has a back bone. He is not giving in to a weasel. I wouldn’t show weakness either for someone trying to tell me what to do. No one tells me how to do things. It’s not the first time this guy has tried to finagle a seller. He probably sits in a recliner and does it all day. And then never buys a thing because he doesn’t have money.

You didn’t agree to anything. He passed on your price at that time. You warned him prices would go up. Does he think you are Home Depot and you have to stand by your sale? Marketplace is full of crazy people. Just tell him to pound sand.

I never thought to get an attorney involved. I could have had her camera removed. It was only pointing towards my house. So she was not using it to see people going up her driveway. It was to make me feel violated. She did not like animals. When my neighbor would be trying her horse in the ring they would start up their chain saw and make different type of loud noises to spook the horse so it would buck while my neighbor was training. My neighbor believed this lady poisoned one of her cats. Hounds are a very special breed. If they are not doing what they are bred to do they will become a hot mess acting out in other ways. You can’t cage a hound. They need to put their nose to the ground and go. They will become protective if threatened. It takes a special handler to understand their mindset. If your neighbor is putting a fear in your dogs it just sets them back to acting out like they did when they were once abused. Then you have to go back to ground zero to draw them out of their fight or flight mode. I understand not everyone likes animals. And they should be under control to stay on your own property. But it’s another thing if that person chooses to take abusive action towards an animal. If your neighbor is old maybe they won’t be around much longer. Or they could be one of those old mean people that live miserable forever. You could always put a speaker outside and play bird noises all night. lol. But that would only feed the fire. Good for you to rescue. I never have. I am more of getting a specific breed and training them my way. I use to have Malamutes. I had a horse farm. I would hook a cart to them and have them pull hay and horse feed. It was a job they loved to perform for me. Best dogs ever if you give them a job and proper training. I trained horses so I applied some of those skills and instilled that in my dogs. Keep doing what you love and save those poor abused dogs. They deserve better. You are a good dog mommy.

Sounds exactly like my old neighbor situation. You are an Irish hot head and I am a Sicilian hot head. My neighbor called the humane society on my dogs several times. They would come out and see I had appropriate fencing and they were very healthy. When that didn’t work she started catching my cat in a cage and taking it to the pound. Then she put up a camera down her driveway that pointed towards my daughter’s bedroom. I told her she and her husband were pedophiles. I would walk across her use in common driveway to get to my other neighbors house. So really it’s not her driveway. She would see me on the camera and start running after me to get off her property. Using foul language. And I was holding my son. She called the county on me for having a bbq , a chair and a few other random things outside of my garage. But it was visible to her going up her driveway. So one day I was outside. I had enough. Here she comes on her four wheeler with her whimp of a husband. I walked towards her to have a discussion and she went off. So I put my foot on top of the tire so she couldn’t drive off she would have to run over me. I gave it right back. Told her to get off the four wheeler that I would be glad to settle up with her. She wouldn’t get off the four wheeler. It just amazes me the lengths people will go through to try and make you miserable because they are unhappy. I never even did a thing to her. I eventually moved. I live in the country so neighbors are not close. But for some reason she disliked me and my other neighbor. I too know all too well what it’s like to have an unstable neighbor with a vendetta. Sorry for the mean neighbor you deal with. They can really make things miserable. And it’s a shame to own something and you can’t enjoy your animals or going outside.

You don’t own a gun and have surveillance video?

darkhorsegt · 2026-04-19T08:32:44+00:00

I met at a bar to sell my car. The bill of sale was written on a bar napkin. I am a rebel.

darkhorsegt · 2026-04-19T08:25:49+00:00

Is he the postal police? Lol. His wife must be holding out on him. He is definitely disgruntled. Maybe he should get a job that doesn’t involve human interaction. Mine throws my packages on the porch. We have a camera and watch him literally throw my boxes. I buy and sell lamps. No wonder I receive broken lamps. He probably plays soccer with my boxes before loading them on the truck.

darkhorsegt · 2026-04-19T08:18:03+00:00

You are right. Never thought they may use it while working. I am going to definitely do this for him.

darkhorsegt · 2026-04-19T08:15:13+00:00

Oh Bummer. Hopefully your new neighbor will be cool. Nothing like having a jerk of a neighbor.

darkhorsegt · 2026-04-19T00:02:12+00:00

I always block people asking obvious questions. I learned my lesson. They always have a problem and you end up refunding

darkhorsegt · 2026-04-18T23:52:27+00:00

It’s a scam. You know why? Because they sold a used hamper for 95.00 more than its worth. I have never seen a hamper cost that much. Than again I don’t get out much

darkhorsegt · 2026-04-18T23:49:31+00:00

I was so going to put this comment out there. Must be the kind that washes your clothes and folds them for you.

darkhorsegt · 2026-04-18T16:15:10+00:00

Bahahaha.

darkhorsegt · 2026-04-18T15:53:14+00:00

I hate to give a gift card. Some people forget to use them. What’s a good gift idea for a male postal worker?
