Posted this laptop I'm trying to sell on Nextdoor. It was already in the "For Sale and Free" section, but I posted an image of it in "General" with the caption "Anyone need a laptop?"

This guy from nearby comments, "Yes, details?" and I reply with a link to my website.

He says "That's a crapy tactic for an advertisement".

I simply said "Sorry you feel that way".

"There's a separate section for this" he replies.

Right, the for sale and free section. Which it's already posted in, but I've gotten 0 messages about it.

So if he was interested in a laptop, why didn't he see it posted in the for sale and free section? Why didn't the other people who replied to my general post?

Everybody is like flies to a pile of dung when they see a photo of a laptop, but the second you tell them it's $210 it's a problem? If he was expecting it for free, why didn't he tell me to post it in the for sale and FREE section in his first comment?
It seems the only problem he has is the fact that I want him to pay me for it, and he's just a sore loser. God I hate people.

They think you're a scammer when you're trying to give things away for free, and they think you're a scammer when you're trying to make money. You literally can't win.
I once thought that Berks County was going to be prosperous for me as a business, but in the last 3 years of living here, there's a lot of time wasters, low ballers, and people with no vehicle. No, I'm not going to drive into the heart of Berks County's crime capital and hand deliver an item worth $5. Get a job and a car, you damn bum.

I should add that it isn't all bad, but it would be a lot better if people weren't such bums. I've made thousands of dollars in offline sales (in-person, not on eBay/Amazon/Mercari) in the last 3 years, but I'd have made thousands more if people just understood how business works. I even had a guy that refused to pay me until he got it delivered to him. What world do these people live in?

I literally had a guy message me on Facebook a couple days ago--he was interested in a Nintendo Switch Joy-Con charging dock. $8 with free shipping. He asked if I could meet him, I said no. He goes off and says "if I can't test it I'm not interested. I ain't goin off ya word". I tried to explain to him that it's brand new, sealed, and that if it doesn't work I can give him a replacement or a refund. He just left the messenger group afterwards.

The best part? His FB profile says he works at Louis Vuitton. So he works at a luxury fashion company but is worried about $8? These people are like Sims NPCs or something. They can't be this petty and this stupid. If they are, we're fliped as a civilization.
