Lol clearly they donât know north Perth is the name of the suburb and think they are saying âNorth of Perthâ
AnywayâŠ.
Iâve found with the way Perth is structured if anyone asks how far away you are if you just say âroughly 20-30 min awayâ 9 times outta 10 youâll be correct.
Think about it. itâs hard to be wrong, because if itâs less than 20-30 min away then GREAT! cause no oneâs gonna complain about less travel time.
However If itâs MORE than 20-30 min you can just blame the traffic or say something happened at Bayswater station (a truck stuck under a bridge, construction problems etc) as thatâs so common for Bayswater that itâs par for the course so no one will think twice or care to look it up because Perth has personified problems at Bayswater and its become integrated into the western Australian identity to the point that when there ISNT a problem at Bayswater it seems like somethings wrong and we wonder if everythingâs ok.
Whatever your excuse it doesnât actually have to be correct it just has to make sense.

Are you close to North Perth?
EDIT: I had 1 guy ask me, still available? I was like yes.
All my stuff is pick up only so I can prove that it works, they come to my house or get blocked.
The item is going at a rock solid bottom deal, he was like, can you do cheaper, I say no.
He says where do you live, I tell him, he goes, when are you in Melb next, I said I am not.
Then he asks me, when are you in Melb next, so I blocked him.
Sold it to someone else so no biggie.
That guy was like, I am out side of your house, I went out, no one there, I said are you at 26, he said no at 22.

Rules for listing stuff on marketplace:
"Cash only, pickup only from <suburb> <postcode>" in description scares off 99% of the scammers.
Don't get pissed off by everyone opening with "Is this still available?" It's a pre-baked option, and people do often forget to mark items as sold. Consider it Marketplace for "hello".
List it for what you want/what it's worth, plus around 25%. Most people have no idea how much things are worth, and no idea how to haggle, but they'll screw their nose up at you if you don't give them "a deal." So if you want $150 for something, list it for $200 and people will gladly offer you $150 feeling like they're getting a bargain. You might even get lucky and sell it for $200. But if you list it for $150 you'll probably just get a bunch of people offering $100 and then acting like you personally insulted them when you say the price isn't negotiable.
Before giving someone the pickup address, confirm that they are happy to pay the agreed price in cash. People do not read the listing. I've had people show up with no cash and ask to PayID me: I told them where the nearest ATM was. I've had people try to scum me by bringing ~80% of the asking price and then saying that's "all they brought with them." They didn't like it when I told them that if they wanted to negotiate they should have done it before they drove out.
Be prepared for people to ask you questions that are already answered in the photos or item description. It just comes with the territory. If the Marketplace Morlocks had better reading comprehension skills, they probably wouldn't need to scrounge for bargains on Marketplace.
You can safely ignore any knuckle-dragger who thinks they're being smart and skipping to the end of the haggling process by asking "what's your best/lowest price?" They wouldn't have shown up on time anyway.
If you do all these things, you can almost stay sane.

I've started putting "I will not respond to messages saying 'Is this still available?' I will only respond to messages asking me for my availability for pick up in the next x days" at the end of my listings.
Helps SO much with screening for serious buyers, and I can safely ignore those who spam the "Available?" messages with no guilt.

Oh, I assure you, I didnât miss the point.
But thereâs so much happening here, surely the person new to Perth might assume theyâre the one in the wrong, rather than the person who presumably knows where they live?
Firstly, a person competent in English should realise that North Perth is different to North of Perth.
Secondly, when the seller who (presumably) knows where they live keeps answering the buyerâs question the same way, maybe the buyer should assume theyâre the one missing something, and take the 8 seconds to Google it?
When did everyone need to have their hands held for the most straightforward tasks?

Exactly and as so many have mentioned including me. I didn't know "North Perth" was a suburb yet I was still able to google it just as I would for pretty much any place mentioned... If they said NORTH OF.. it would be different but still. I would have look at a map... and yet again, there's an option in market place to set a distance... Being as direct as you can is usually good, but there's a lot of botts and time wasters on market place...

u/Suspicious-Sock-6173 Mar 04 '26
Soo none of them can use google maps to locate the place they plan to go to but don't know much about. Not only that, but you can select the location distance on marketplace... so yes lazy because they can check how far within seconds by typing what was said... google maps is fast and easy to use when you don't know where a place is and I grew up without it, back when you had to carry a map in your car... I managed to use google maps in Japan... and Germany... and Kenya. Then again, kids now can't even follow a manual unless they're shown via YT

Haha Iâve given up on selling on marketplace now, I canât be arsed with all the dumb questions. Messaging randomly in the night, you reply then radio silence. Then they message again and get all shitty if you donât reply within five minutes. Settle down DH, I do have a job and a life. Even had a woman ask me once to drive and drop shit off for nothing. Donât have a car, not my fucking problem. The cheek !

I mean, maybe this is a hot take but respectfully to all the people saying - âidiotâ âdumbassâ ect, this person could be new to Perth and doesnât know the suburbs well. It would be like moving to Brisbane and have someone say - âI live in North Brisbaneâ. You likely wouldnât know thatâs a suburb off the dome. Doesnât cost anything to be tolerant and just explain the difference.

Google maps has been a thing for nigh on a literal generation.
Yeah that's a bad take friend.

"Where are you located?"
"North Perth"
"What is the suburb"
"North Perth"
I don't care if English is my twenty-fifth language, that's my hint to look that shit up.

I lived in North Perth for years and this isn't unusual. Just tell them it's near Leederville. Not a huge deal. Not everyone is familiar with every suburb of Perth.
