On craigslist things were going well, good ordinary down to earth good humans buying the stuff, albeit only 50% it's worth or less as if our economy is COMPLETE SHIT. However facebook market has been extremely disturbing.

Some of my items aren't getting enough hits on craigslist. I asked a girl where people are going for used items and she said 'facebook marketplace'. So I put some items on facebook marketplace however the demographic is TOTALLY different. For one it's younger people. Two it's liberal whiny entitled types instead of down to earth real humans.

I'm trying to sell a bed frame for ~$100. The price I got it for was $700. There is some cat hair on the bottom of it, and some small cat scratch little balls, however the two people which have shown up have whined and cried that "it looks used" "can you make the price lower"? WTF. IT IS USED. If you want 100% of the cat balls out then by all means! Get a small pair of scissors / razor / needle nose pliers to cut them out! It can be done. The cat hair? There is barely any at the bottom, FUCKING VACUUM TO ABSOLUTE PERFECTION YOURSELF! They're on the bottom! Trying to knock down the price? What IN THE LIVING FUCK! It's already 15% it's purchase price. It is BELOW the selling price BY FAR for it's great condition.

They literally say "well I could get a new one for $300". Well FFS if you want a new one THEN GET A NEW ONE. The entitlement is BEYOND comprehension. They want it for free and I'm a peon in a communist country I should just be giving my shit away for free.

Also for the features of this frame, it'd be no less than $500 for the frame. Whether they care about the features or not is non of my business (no center side post to stub your toes on, couple inches higher than the norm for storage, non flush sides, single piece sides instead of two). The price is FAR below either.

You're the whinny bitch. I buy and sell second hand goods all the time, if you are not ok with the price proposed you just keep the object or money. You're a terrible seller. You don't even know how market works. If people are haggling down the price of your bedframe it's because it's worth less than the asking price. If it wasn't it would be already sold. You're the entitled count. You think people will line up and beg you to take their 100$ for your old bed you can't even hold on to for when the good price is on the table. You don't even understand how goods depreciate over time and how certain object depreciate more than others. You're just butt hurt because your bedframe isn't worth what you thought it was worth.

I think you meant "cunt" instead of "count" in this line >>You're the entitled count.

I do agree that he is probably viewing an item as more than its worth in its current state...

If I came to buy something and it had cat scratch balls that I should have to remove after spending 100$ on a wooden used item. I too would let it pass. Id accept me needing to clean it thoroughly and wipe away some fur, as I wouldn't allow it in the house until I did. I despise cats though.

I do meant cunt and not count. Stupid autocorrect.

It was so satisfying to watch the guy who took 2 hours round trip and spent $30 in gas to cash in on a ultra low balled offer, just to find out it was just a regularly low balled offer on a used but in good / great condition item.

The bitchy whiney entitled liberal millenial behavior was the icing on top!

Btw the guy spent 10 minutes asking how to put it together, essentially already accepting the item, before he decided "I'll try to low ball this low ball low ball item" that he did a deep dive on what could be wrong, THEN saw the micro cat balls. Which his bitch ass self can take out himself.
