Kyanar:UncleArk: Ahhh Trademe... Where to start!
I've had issues on pickup items where people don't bring the correct amount of money and expect you to just discount the item for this reason. In the last year or so I've had three people arrive at the door, where the price amount was rounded to a $10 amount and they've presented with the excuse that they went to the ATM which only dispenses $20 notes and they only got out a certain amount and are $10 short.
In many cases they often mumble and go back to their car and magicly produce the correct amount saying they've had to borrow from the parking meter money or from the spouse etc sitting in the car.
Also I've sold items and people present with a large note and want change. I can recall a book I sold for $3 and a bloke turned up with a $20 note expecting change.
The issue of people trying it on with for pickup items has basically led me to only list for posting, even locally, as this actually seems the lesser hassle of late!
Tell them to go to an ANZ ATM next time as they happily dispense tenners.....

Guy freaked out when he had to come and pick it up. Made him drive 3 hours to get it. Still gave me good feedback.

Yeah, I sold a telescope back at the start of December, I had to deliver it to Mt Eden for the guy, only got there this past weekend. So he waited 5 months to get it.... sheesh....
Hi Cyris!! :D
networkn: I sold a trinket I found in my grandfathers stuff a long time ago, $1 reserve, thought it was junk. Sells for like $11. Guy comes around and says he is astonished to find it on trademe, it's crazy valuable and doesn't feel comfortable buying it for $11. Shows another one for sale in the USA for $500, and gives me $250 cash and won't accept my protests. Good and bad I guess.
