So as many do I search ebay for things I have an interest in, not really looking to buy but you never know
So I trip over a machine that is cheap, updated and with a travel I didn't even know was available on that machine. But as every one of these machines it has a dead spindle drive[I am being vague as to not call the guy out, he seems nice]
So I message him and tell him it looks nice and give him a little advice to mention the updated control and longer travel and man if you fixed the drive it would sell in a heartbeat. Now when you do such a thing you get ignored, told to FO, and occasionally responded to. HE took it as it was intended and sent a nice note back.
Never updated his ad, at all. months go by. I briefly[very briefly] ponder making a Kessel run with the trailer to go get it, but I don't need it.
months later he raises the price by a grand.
[shakes head] I guess if you are not going to sell it, you might as well not sell it for a grand more.
Nuther guy, selling a single wheel for my car [that I don't need], make offer, He kicks it out. Hey no problem, but you would expect maybe a counter. NBD.
Next day he raises the price 30 bucks.
4 months later it still sits.
Neither guy is a professional seller, I mean, I know I wouldn't have the brain space for it
hey, people is diff'nt
