I have a new one. Unfortunately it's not of the funny kind.

Prospective buyer approaches a seller/modder/vendor/dealer and sends specification.

Seller/modder/vendor/dealer confirms ability to comply to specs and sends pricing.

Prospective buyer asks for shipping info and timing.

Seller/modder/vendor/dealer answers and provides all the info, confirming one last time the specs and asking for a Go. This particular Seller/modder/vendor/dealer does not (yet) require full payment upfront.

Prospective buyer answers "Yes please continue".

Seller/modder/vendor/dealer does the work and gets back to buyer asking for payment and shipment details.

Prospective buyer doesn't answer despite being online multiple times.

Seller/modder/vendor/dealer approaches staff for help in getting a grip of the buyer.

Staff starts a conversation with buyer prompting him to meet his part of the agreement and pay his dues.

Prospective buyer doesn't answer despite being online.

Staff prompts buyer again to pay immediately.

Prospective buyer doesn't answer despite being online.

Staff gives an ultimatum: "if you do not take action, I'll have to consider to take measures in reaction to your behaviour."

Prospective buyer doesn't answer despite being online and prowling the sales section.

Staff bans the buyer.

Rhetorical question, obviously, but what THE FUCK is wrong with these people?! I really dislike dodgy c#nts. With a passion.
It's honestly so bad isn't it. Started to ignore anyone that isn't patron/supporter which I know isn't in the spirit of the forum but the process is so much smoother. I don't write everyone off, but some of the DMs prompt the eye roll, which seems harsh but true.

the PM that I « love »

1. Ask for a commission
2. I decline
3. Can you send me a full tutorial with all parts links so that I can do it?

FML…just go and read the forum. Everything is there

I have no issue to help with debug to someone who is already trying, but I just hate those lazy entitled buggers

Yep. This, unfortunately. And new members who aren't certified, or a supporter or patron, sending PMs in response to M2M sales threads and asking me to go outside the process to communicate directly. Asking for personal contact details so they can just do it via WhatsApp, as it's too difficult for them to log into RWI every day. Not a snowflake's chance in hell. Go Phishing somewhere else,

Some thoughts on 'What's your best price?' 'Is this the best price?'

First off M2M is NOT a Bangkok street market where you can knock the selling price off by 50% and start bargaining from there [smh when can people learn this]

Second, why do i have to give you a 'better' price if i don't know you?

I'm all for a 'better price' if you can give me something back like:
- quick payment
- less questions asked
- using wise instead of paypal for the sake of better FX rate and less fees for buyer
etc etc

Thought i'm not asking much in exchange for a slight loss of money.....? [i was only hoping for a quicker transaction, not hoping to get a quickie from you]

----------

One of the conversations i hate so much: [say i'm selling something for 200USD]
- can you do xxx shipped?
- no sorry best i can do is yyy / sorry price if firm

then poof he's gone, at least have the decency to say 'thanks'?

P.S. Personally, I think selling AND buying M2M should require Supporter, Patron, etc. in addition to Certified. Supporter fee wouldn't necessarily prevent anyone who was serious about pulling a shifty, but it'd weed out some. Just my view, and certainly not a criticism of the current system.

The fundamental difference is some people just use this forum like Facebook market place and just want a rep and will haggle like they don't care.

Regular members know this is a COMMUNITY to share knowledge and experiences with the benefit and privilege of buying and selling replicas M2M.
