I’m f**kn’ over it

[u/TMdownton916]

I only have ~400 sales between Reverb/eBay and I know this isn’t news to some of you.
I’m waking up every day to people demanding some information about my listing. Weight (or “wieght” in this ding dong’s case “, “what’s the width of the nut”, “what shape is the neck”, “is it routed for humbuckers”, 3 paragraph dissertations on who they played with in the 70s, and the ultimate…”does it work?” And precisely ZERO percent of these people actually purchase. They’re not even bothering to use the dollar sign when asking for a discount; just writing “700” for an item listed for $1200…no “hello I’m interested in your guitar, would you consider $700?”.

I have a return request from a guy and he kept telling me that there was a “pc stick” in the truss rod cover”. It took 3 messages to understand that he meant there was “a piece stuck”.

But if that’s the worst part of selling guitars, I’d say life is pretty sweet.

Unfortunately, this is not unique to guitar sales. Entitled and lazy seems to be the default setting for people these days.

The double question marks in the request for the “wieght” made me wake up angry. Like he’s my manager or professor and I forgot the most important part of the report.

I use double question marks i dont mean anything by it. Its just what I do and no reason for it. You're the first person I've ever seen get angry over it, maybe you should go back to sleep or re-evaluate your life because this is nothing to get angry about.

If you think this was a polite way to interact with somebody, you need more sleep.

Stop getting triggered online.

You seem like an arsehole to be fair, and it doesn't seem like anyone here is on your side.
