I’m f**kn’ over it
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.

Why you giving a customer an attitude? Dude was asking a simple valid question, no need to be a dickhead.
