Ok so I put up a
schwack of stuff on
Kijiji the other day and was stunned to see how interested people were in my stuff. I mean - who
doesn't want a wicked
kickass kitchen table, a TV or a bunch of purses.
C'mon!
So I was totally thrilled to find that all my stuff was essentially sold within hours of it being on the website. After sifting through the ridiculous number of emails I received, I found myself giving people who had proper spelling, grammar and punctuation the upper hand when it came to selling them my goods.
Examples of responses I received:
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED
And that was the only thing in the email. Thanks for coming out... moving on...
hi there,
may i buy this from you.
thanks den address?
time best 4 u?
Are you f'ing kidding me?? Next!
HI!
I wont to buy this table, I can came in saturday and pick up.
Ahh! No.
Am I being too picky? I mean - is it so hard to simply say "Hi, I'm interested in your fabulous table - is it still available? If so, please let me know if I am able to pick it up! Thank you!"
Yes, apparently it is. And with that, I still own all my stuff still but have a couple very interested buyers. A couple who said they would get it today (but then changed their mind and said they would take it ONLY if I delivered... Alistair does not deliver tables and chairs thank you very much). Sigh.
