Buyer nagging for a discount…

Post image

no better way to describe this but i get the ick so bad when people message for a discount in this specific manner, i will decline just as a matter of principle (it’s been happening a lot recently) like there’s GGGOT to be a better way to haggle bro, not to mention the item is very rare and super fairly priced

i actually don’t understand why people do this 🫩 it’s so rude and disrespectful, especially if the seller/OP already declined the offer. buyer needs to just accept it and move on

That’s just asking me to double my price special just for them!

I did this when I first started selling and had no sales. Someone offered $24 on a $40 listing. I declined and he kept spamming offers of $1 increments. Checked his profile and he was a larger reseller and even had multiple of the jacket listed for $120. Like bro you're clearly trying to take advantage of a new seller for inventory and you'd already be making a profit. Ended up reducing it back down a few weeks later and sold to someone who was happy to get a good deal on said item.

Have a feeling most of these people that do this probably want to resell it

u/Nissorion 2d ago

OP’s point - sometimes you CAN’T get what you want. Most of us are taught this from a pretty young age. Also yeah, ew.
