At the moment I'm selling off my Nintendo Wii and all the games etc on Trade Me and in doing so I have discovered a whole new world of stupidity - the idiotic questions you get from people about the item you're selling.
Some examples:
On the auction it says - Seller allows pick-ups, Seller is located in Wellington City, Wellington.
So why would you ask "Where would pick up be please?" - why do you think I would be anymore specific at this point?
Or this one: "do u interest to sell ur wii fit and star war for 100$?" Uh no, if that was what I was interested in selling... that would be what I'm advertising.
"May i ask why you are selling please??" How about because I want to? I felt like answering, I'm selling because its hot and I need to shift it asap.
So anyway at work we were talking about the inane questions you get and one of my colleagues mentioned that his old man sells all sorts of junk and given his temper - he hates getting daft questions too... So what else were we to do...
The latest auction he is running is for beer bottle openers - which come in packs of three and are coloured Red, Black and Green (black ones pictured). But we had some (infuriatingly obvious) questions as follows -
Q. Do you have 5 packs of these available? Also how many bottles could you expect each one to open?
A. They are auctioned in lots of three.In regard to the number of opens I really have no idea. Cheers
Q. Do you have a full range of colours? Do you have Yellow? or Red?
A. No yellow. Red listed. Cheers
Q. How many colors r there? Will u sell just a red one?
A. We do not list this item in single units. Cheers
I like how he kept hiding his rage by adding 'cheers' to each one.
Childish prank for the week? Check!
Oh and if anyone wants a Wii - the auction closes monday night.
