Ok, i know I have posted a couple times before about my e-bay experiences, like nearly getting scammed... But now I'm on the e-bay bandwagon and trying to sell some stuff I have collecting dust around the shop. Some new, some used, nothing broken! lol. Anyways, I see a lot of posts here form people finding this and that on there and I was wondering just who all actually has purchased lawn equipment off of e-bay? If you have, how big was the item, like a riding machine or walk behind oooorrrr, some silly software program to "start your new mowing service"
I recently purchased a Exmark Lazer Z Hp from a dealer in Pennsylvania and had it shipped to me here in Kansas, it arrived today in excellent condition. I am happy that I had a good reputable business to buy from, some people are not so lucky.
On another note, as a seller now, i am getting way too many e-mails from people seeing my auctions and want to know how much i would sell for before the end of the auction or offering me "$$$" for it now. I finally snapped tonight and sent the last two individuals nice notes to just bid and wait like everyone else and then went back and revised my listing with a friendly note to: do NOT e-mail me and ask me to sell the item early, it is not fair to the other bidders or me. Thank you.
Am I going to run people off with that, or am I right to get frustrated with people that want to be "first in line"?
