Responsability

Okay, here is my rant! If you bother to post an add, please feel free to update your post. If you have sold your items. Its a simple click. Edit your posts. If you REALLY REALLY NEED to sell some snakes, say for example, to pay some vet bills for your Husky. At the very least respond to e-mails offering to provide some $$$$.

Anyways I guess you all get my point.

I agree. Good rant.

greenman1867 · 01-28-05, 10:43 PM

LOL Okay this post was moved and edited by the admin. Just FYI.

"They're" out to get ya'.
While we're on this whole rant thing, the one thing that really bugs the pee outta me is in the Wanted classifieds, are the people who instead of typing what it is they want, they type "Wanted" as their thread header. WE KNOW YOU WANT SOMETHING, WHAT!!!!!!

DragnDrop · 01-28-05, 11:07 PM

Or the ones who put 'For Sale' in the For Sale classifieds.

And then there's the one ad I tried replying to a few years ago (not here on ssnakess, we're smarter than this guy was). It was by some mental giant who didn't have an email address in the ad, making you reply via the contanct link in the profile... but he had the email and PM options turned off .... HUH?? At least make sure you can be contacted somehow, and check to see if there are any replies.

I get annoyed with people who don't give an exact location in
thier ads. Then I waste my time contacting them to see where
there're located, info I could get at a glance.

CamHanna · 01-28-05, 11:25 PM

I'm annoyed by the people who e-mail and ask where you're located rather than looking at the "Location" part of your profile at the top of the post.

Also, people who don't fill in the "Location" part of thier profile.

greenman1867 · 01-28-05, 11:36 PM

True True, it's nice to see people use the profile section properly. Although some of us need to be vague due to silly Bi-Laws

There should be price, location, contact info on all ad's or they should be deleted

Only way people will learn!

You want something sold, post pictures, your location, and prices... no 'email me for pics and prices' business.

It's simple...

I agree Heather, ( email me for pic's and prices ) tells me that the seller is unsure of the what they are selling, price or other wise. Upfront information saves lots of time for each party.

I am one of those email for pics and prices people b/c I find that many people who click on ads are picture hounds and click on ads soley for pics, and then email me for more pics without actually wanting something.

My prices also change based on person asking and quantity wanted. Better deals for friends for instance.

I find I get more serious inquiries if I don't post a lot of pics and all the prices.

Maybe no location and prices are peeves to you, but people who inquire only to get pics or people who back out constantly without so much as a thank you, really pee me off.

Another peeve of mine. Easterners who post, but won't ship. I almost never see a Western add who won't ship. It has turned me off of purchasing from anyone east of Manitoba or even selling to anyone out there.

If you really want something, shipping shouldn't come into play. When looking at ads, keep in mind that shipping is always a factor and shop with that in mind.

That's what I'm talking about right there!
And while we're at it, the classifieds and the gallery are free people so stop complaining about how it's run. You don't like something that's free then you're a spoiled brat that should be sent to your room. Go to the library and complain to them and see how long it takes them to tare up your card.
Do, do, do. Give me, give me, give me. That's all we hear from some people around here.
Cheers,
Trevor

People get cold feet all the time, has nothing to do with price or location being posted. Most of us are trying to save money, so we
try to find ads within driving distance to save on shipping.

In any business you will have people who pee you off, that's part of doing business. I know some people who won't give an ad a second look if there's no location, so you risk losing potential customers.

Are you saying anyone who e-mails for pics and doesn't order something are just picture hounds? Haven't you ever looked around a store, asked a few questions, then left without buying
something?

The ones that bother me is..."Snake for sale"....no price and location ...aaauuuggh
