Am I Being Unreasonable?

[VonBonfire]

A seller mentioning F&F as an option is an automatic deal breaker for you? Even if they are willing to accept other forms of payment, including G&S? That's what I'm asking.

It's all dependent on the situation.

To me the issue is that he seemed to reach out to you without a price in mind and is just in perpetual haggle mode.

If I'm selling something and a guy wants it for less, that can be OK but the guy had better tell me what his price is. If he can't do that, I just don't think they are a serious buyer and I don't want to deal with it.

At this point you might as well have fun with it, hit him with a price increase.

I listed a rifle on Gunbroker two weeks ago. I knew I'd get pinched on fees and I always offer free shipping. A guy messaged me and somehow got his phone number to get through. So we texted a bit, then had a good chat on the phone, agreed on a price, he Zelle'd me the money on Sat. and I shipped today. I've had one deal like this ever go south. Somehow you just know if someone is a straight shooter. In fact, I'm shipping my Suhr SL68 tomorrow to a guy who's shipping me his SL67 and some cash and tubes. But we did a similar deal about eight mos ago, text all the time now and we're totally cool with each other. You gotta buy the seller as much as the goods.

truth. trust your gut and if it dont feel right- it doesnt feel right- it isnt worth it.
