Would you be a bit put out if......

[savia]

....you got told by a seller to, literally, ******* off just because you asked if they would take an offer?

 

[Mongoose11]

Yes, everyone in their right mind puts a little bit on top of the price that they are actually wanting to achieve so that the buyer is able to negotiate. Unless the ad said - no offers, fixed price etc.

 

[ThePony]

er yes! If no offers then the seller should just say that, either in the add or politely to a buyer! No prob either way, but to be actually told to **** off is a bit much!!

 

[savia]

No, it didn't have any of the 'no offers' type exclusions added to it.

 

[debsg]

Cheeky sod! Answer is yes, absolutely no need to be rude to anyone like that, let alone a prospective buyer. Some people!

 

[savia]

Phew, I'm glad it's not just me then!

There was a few other sarky and unnecessary comments in there, but thought it better to leave them out, just in case the seller is lurking around here.

Would it be wrong of me to send a reply, saying 'there was no need to be so rude', etc, or would you just leave them to stew?

 

[Hanzybaby01]

Wow, how rude! As long as it was an offer that wasnt taking the 'p' then yeah sure, your entitled to make an offer unless he stated 'no offers' etc.

I hope you just turned and walked away!

First off id name and shame

Secondly, just leave him, dont give him the satisfaction of showing he got to you. He can stew the rude arrogant pig.

 

[ThePony]

I'd just let it go and walk away, be the bigger person. Just chalk it up to the weird buying and selling rigmarole!!

I hadn't actually named a price, I'd just enquired as to whether they would be willing to take one.

Oh, and it was a woman.

Oh well in that case maybe she hasnt been getting enough 'action' or just time of the month

Either way thats certainly no way to speak to anyone.

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

I wouldn't lower yourself to their level - dont respond (I take it this was text or email?) unless you would 'like to thank them for their reply & wish them all the best in selling their horse'

Always best to remain above such rudeness

Or a major case of pmt

 

[mulledwhine]

How rude, yes I would be put out, no need for that behaviour

 

[Shysmum]

Blimey, and she actually wants to sell ?? How ignorant (and chavvy).

 

[savia]

Oh, the joys of horse hunting
