Best question asked??

Apricot

"Could you please lower the reserve for this item because I really want it but can't afford that much"

There wasn't even a reserve on the item but people had bid on it pushing the price up!

Hi I got a buyer asking me to send them pictures of the item I was selling through the post and they gave me their house address to mail them to as their email address was not working.
Thing was there was only 4 hours left on the auction so I just thought it was a joke and ignored them after adding them to my blocked buyers list.
Five days later I recieved a very nice message saying they still have not got the pictures they asked for and when did I send them, the auction had been ended for five days at this point.
I ignored them again and heard nothing for two weeks then I got a message about another auction I listed from them, they were asking why they could not bid on it and if I had sent the pictures yet.
All of these messages were very nice and typed in good english and when I looked at their feedback they had bought quite a few things and their account looked OK to me, I have not heard from them since but who knows I may hear from them again one day.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

'I would like to bid on your item so can you please send me your phone number so I can call you?'

Lobell

Listed an item of clothing with a clear description including size (14) and measurements (in cm and inches).

Question: What size is 14?

I have to admit it that I didn't really know how to answer that!

I had

'what material is your 100% cotton skirt made from?'

Many moons ago when I was selling sci fi and cult stuff I got an email from a repeat buyer who often used to email me about things in my collection and he asked 'will you be my girlfriend'. That wasn't funny, I felt incredibly sad.

I once got:

"What length are the legs on the skirt you're selling?"

I had a ASQ "is this still available" 3 days after 15 auctions ended. No clue on the email as to which item!

I emailed back and asked which item, as I had a few end unsold the same day.

Reply "the one what finished on Sunday" :doh:

I emailed back and asked if they could tell me which one, I could relist it for them, and I'm still none the wiser now.

I had a Playstation Game listed and someone asked if it would work on their grandson's console as they'd like to get them some games for christmas...

I responded it was for the ps3 and asked what console her grandson had and I could let her know if it was compatable...

She responded a few hours later stating it was a Leapfrog (...after doing my research I realised this is some kind of kiddy "speak n spell" type computer for ages 3+ that reads books)

...I wouldn't mind by the PS3 game was Call of Duty - a shoot 'em up game!!

Pleasant enough lady though & made me smile for the rest of the day...
