Oh no wait, I did. It was black and had a skull on it.
Carry on.
Brilliant now I've fucked up a new page with my inane shit.

I find 'preloved' to be a much creepier concept than 'used'.
Maybe I think too much, but it implies a greater level of emotional attachment between the item and its soon-to-be-former owner than I'm really comfortable with - like, perhaps he or she used the CD I want to buy as a comfort blanket of sorts? Or perhaps the game on which I have my eye comes alive when its owner isn't around, Toy Story-style, and I'd always be the heartless asshole who separated it from its beloved companion.
Besides, for some items it's just plain gross. A used dildo? Sure, I can turn a blind eye to those implications. A preloved dildo? That mental image isn't going away anytime soon. (What? Don't judge me - there's a cost of living crisis going on! We can't all afford to shop at Ann Summers, you know.)

Uly doesn't fall in love with dildos, confirmed.

Blokes selling their cars still take the cake for me. “With regret I am selling…”. Alright mate, terribly sorry you need get rid of the golf R because you have kid on the way, but it’s really none of my business. Also guys that are like “Don’t need to sell this, so no crazy offers”. Well why you putting it online then?

Couch, Car, Child etc. Easier to put it in the description than answer the same question over and over. Selling it because it's shit isn't likely to help you get the asking price.

Right, but I meant specifically if they give the impression that they don't want to sell their car, so you'd better come up with a high price to convince them. Nah, either you're selling or not, the fact that you're reluctant really isn't my problem.

I think it's more that they word it that way so that you don't think they're selling a heap of shit, and finances have forced their hand. It's just another way to try and convince you that it's decent, and not fucked.
But yeah. Just sell the thing with an honest description and good photos and the rest doesn't fucking matter.

'I know what this is worth, so no low offers' also indicates the person is a wanker and not worth dealing with.
It is funny, though. I (or more accurately, the wife, cuz I dont have an account) really only put stuff on facebook marketplace if I cant be arsed to take it to the tip or the charity shop, so put it on for an 'I just want shot of it' price and people still haggle.
I put an ikea sofa on there a few months ago for thirty quid and all but one person tried to beat me down on it.

Especially the ones that are surprised/outraged when you decline their offer. Fridge 2 years old £200. I'll give you £20! Can you deliver today?

These all sound like people who would buy PSN credit in drachmas to then use on the Slovakian PSN over VPN to save 2 quid.

I remember trying to sell one of those stand-on platforms for the back of a child's pram. I think I was asking 20 quid for it.
Some bint comes on saying she only has £17 and it's to be a present. WTF - £17?

Oh, this is a top tip: if you are buying a second hand sofa, make sure its an ikea one because, unsurprisingly, its flat pack and will go right down to make it possible to actually fit in a car.

What's the point of all those bollocksy 'games' on Steam that just give you 500 achievements? What do you get for achievements on Steam?
