I was selling a really cool tent that looked like an old VW bus a few months back, and it was 1:1 scale. My phone LIT up. These are impossible to find now, and I had a BNIB one. Actual conversation....11:30 PM. I've cleaned up some language/spelling on both sides, but I'll transcribe it off my phone.
Kijiji idiot: "Is the tent still available?"
Pylon: "Yes."
KI: "I'm in Rocky Mountain House."
P: "Ok. That's nice."
KI: "I'll take it if you can deliver it tonight."
P: "I'm in Cochrane, it's 11:30, I'm not driving 3 hours round trip to sell a $300 tent. On Tuesday night/Monday morning. Sorry."
KI: "What's your lowest price?"
P: "$300, but that doesn't really matter. I'm not delivering it to Rocky, and I've had about 20 inquiries on it the last hour, and 2 people wanting to come get it this weekend if it's still available."
KI: "I'll give you $100."
P:"Are you ok man?"
KI: "I'll give you $100, and my friend can pick it up tomorrow."
P: "Did you bump your head? I just told you I have a couple people willing to get it this weekend at the asking price. I'll wait a couple days to get my asking price. Thanks anyway."
KI: "It's all about money, a-holes like you just care about money. You are what's wrong with the world. It's been that way since Europeans colonized North America. You're greedy scum."
P: "So you are saying.... I should sell you my tent, for 1/3 of the price, burn $40 in gas to deliver it to you 150 kms away, on a Tuesday night, because you're an Indigenous person."
KI: "What makes you think I'm a Native. You are greedy scum though."
P: "OK, you are probably too mentally deficient to grasp what I am about to say, but I feel I need to say it. I work in sales for a living and have for 25+ years. I have also been selling on Kijiji, Ebay, FB... you name it, since the very inception of all 3. Without a doubt, this has, and you have, been the most moronic, ignorant, mentally deficient human being, I have come across in all my travels, and I have dealt with some of the most bottom of the barrel people in existence. You sir, are the worst of the worst."
P: "The Hoarder that traded in a car stacked to the roof with coffee cups, garbage, and had dead mice in his car.... you are worse. At least he made a reasonable offer."
P: "The guy that offered to have his GF give me a BJ because he was $500 short to buy a sportbike I was selling.... you're worse. If I was single at the time, I might have taken him up on it, she was pretty attractive..."
KI: "Shut up scum....greedy scum."
P:"The lady that clipped my neighbors car after picking up a BBQ.... worse, at least that was an accident, she was actually kinda nice and didn't avoid it....let's leave her off the list."
P: "Oh, oh, I got one, it's close, but I still think you are worse. Guy that came to buy a TV from me, him and his buddy drop the TV in the stairwell of my building and leave the busted TV laying there, and drive away.... at least I got my $50.... you are an entitled asshat, he was just a litterer."
KI: "Stop..."
P: "I'm done now, in conclusion GFY."
