so it's not just me thinking that some people do not READ. Although to be fair, I thought as a new subscriber you were not able to PM people as in Mandav's case... but maybe I got that wrong.

Step 2. Read the fucking advert properly.

Please email me at

justapenguin .at. hotmail.com

welshdragon
also, don't PM to say you are interested in "it", how the f**k do I know which item you have looked at??
And while I am here, don't say yes you want something then never get back to me when I send you contact details...

If I am interested in an item, I post, PM and send an email cause the people selling things aren't always on the ball either! More than once I have sent an email to someone that said "email me" only to find out they gave it to someone that posted or PMed at a later time because they failed to check their emails. Believe you me, there are idjuts everywhere!

Please DO NOT, I repeat: DO NOT, use the Report button to respond to a classified ad. Contact the person who posted.

Please email if you are interested
Hi , I am interested in purchasing car seat for my child. What is ur expected price?

My husband used to use a (very irritating when you´ve heard it a thousand time!) German phrase to express this:

Wer lesen kann ist im vorteil!

(rough translation being if you can read, you have a big advantage!)

My husband says the same thing!! "Readers have the advantage" is what he says.

While we're at it, if you say you want something and beg the person to not sell it someone else and promise that 'as soon as I get back from my vacation I will contact you', then do it!! I had a person who begged me to not sell my ski/bike rack and that he was going to the States for a month and would pick it up when he got back. Well, I never heard from him again. And, when I emailed him, he never responded. Then he was back on TT with another name trying to pawn off a bunch of IPhones that he bought in the States.

I did finally sell the rack to someone else but it really[s] irritated [/s] pissed me off that he was so rude.

I thought as a new subscriber you were not able to PM people
Newbies can send PMs just like any other member. The PM feature is, however, automatically disabled if a newbie sends lots of PMs within a short time. This is an attempt to prevent spamming.

Sadly I deleted my PMs from recently sold stuff - we sold a lot and I got one PM asking 'Is it still available?'. Fucking numptey.

Edit, no, I kept that one for future amusement:

Original message with subject: available?

is it still available?
regards
NameWithheldToProtectTheDozy
My reply:

Help me a bit here, is what still available?
Regards,
Me
sarabyrd
Tell me about it!

PM subject:

"Interested"
Content:

where are you at?
rgds
(name, phone no.)
Now considering that I was offering a box of kitchen stuff, an iron, an ironing board, brooms and a mop and bucket a bit more info would not have harmed.

Logic according to bidders:

Argument 1: Various items were offered three weeks ago.
Argument 2: I am interested in some of the items.
Syllogism: Therefore I PM and ask when I can pick them up.

BUT: There is a step between the Arguments and the Syllogism:
Read the complete discussion. Note which items have been sold/given away. Check if the other items are reserved.

There really is no use sending a PM saying that you would like items C and D when they were disposed of two weeks ago. Also, if the Original Poster (OP) very kindly posts a message in the discussion that the other items are reserved: Asking when and where to pick said items up will not lead to success.

In brief Anglo-saxon monosyllables: Read. All. The. Posts. Then. P. M.
