People on Facebook Marketplace remind me of the feedback we got selling our first house. ‘It’s a beautiful house but it’s 3 bedrooms’. It was listed as 3 beds/2 baths 🤦🏻‍♀️

We're doing a massive clean out in preparation to move overseas. I'm grateful my husband is the organizer of all items on FB marketplace. Because I would constantly be like "Fuck off. I'll throw this in a landfill before you wind up with it if I am going to have to jump through all these hoops for 10 bucks." I realize this makes me a terrible person.

Hahahaha this is so real. I sometimes get eager to sell and post on both Market place and Offer up at the same time, and it's like a rollercoaster of brainless conversations for days on end. I think it's a way to wear the seller down until you don't give an F and you give it out to whomever, wherever and at whatever cost. We gotta stay strong!!! One request that really annoys me is when we decide on a meeting location and the buyer asks "how do I get there"????? 🤪

I laughed so hard I nearly choked on my wine!. When I had a FB Jewelry page it was the same damn thing. "This is so pretty, but can you make it bigger/longer/shorter?" "No, this is the piece I'm selling." "Well...can you knock 20 bucks off, cause it's not really the length I want." "No." "But all you'd have to do is take off/add on some of the beads." "No." " Well, I could certainly do it, why can't you?" "Fine. You can certainly do it AFTER you've bought it." " But I don't want it that size!" *DELETE, BLOCK, *slam the laptop closed.*

LOL! That's hilarious. A friend of mine tried selling a car this way. When he went to the meetup spot the guy never showed up.

My friend texted the guy. "Why weren't you at the meet-up to buy the car?"

Buyer, "I thought you knew I was pulling your leg. Who would buy that old car? You're crazy."

PS: "Adolpha"? I thought "Adolph" and "Adolpha" were retired as names after WWII. I worked with a mechanic named "Adolph". He adopted the name "Mickey".

The woes on facebook marketplace. Lol. I get it. I have 19 things listed. Gal: can you mail it to me? Me: the dress is $5. Going to cost more to mail. Pick up only. (I live in a really small town). Gal: are you driving this way anytime soon? Me: actually yes in 2 days. Can meet up at Kwik Trip at 5:30. Gal: sounds great!

Me: 5:00 send her a message confirming meet up.

Gal: 5:10 sorry still at a party

Me in my head: the dress wouldn’t look good on you anyway! I stalked her profile. Lol.
