Have y’all ever sold things on Offer Up? I don’t have FB so I don’t mess with FB marketplace but I had somethings I needed to get rid of. I’m not really trying to make a profit off any of them but rather than donate them, it would be nice to make a little money off the stuff & have someone else take on the burden of getting it out of here.
Anyway, I decided to get rid of the chairs in my living room, and get something with a higher back because my current chairs while comfy, after about 10 minutes in them suck bc they are so low profile. Anywho… I also wanted to sell this MFP because I almost never need to print, scan or fax anything and it takes up a lot of space up in the loft where I have my office.
So I got an inquiry from someone asking about the chairs for the living room “do you know how much weight the chairs can support?” Lmao. Like no bro. I mean grown men have sat in them before with no issue but it certainly makes me wonder how huge you are to ask the question.
On the MFP someone asked if it was still available. I reply yes. They reply “meet up?” and I said “are you able to come get it?” (The thing is like 6-7 years old and my old job purchased it for me. I was selling it for $25 just to have someone save me the hassle.
The chick replies “I can’t. My husband took my car. Can you drop it off?” Like birch, no I cannot. Gas is $6.50/gallon for my car and for $25 item, I’m not doing all that. Besides this sounds suspect and like a setup and upon arrival I’ll be kidnapped and sold into a sex trafficking crime syndicate. Hard pass.
I am also shocked at how many people inquired about the items I have on there who don’t have cars and no way to pick things up. Like what are you doing??? This is not Amazon!
Also, for the record, I give everyone the address for the building in the front and I meet them at the street with the stuff. I don’t let these weirdos know where I live or allow them in my house.
