He was like right.................when I got down to him he declared he had no money & I had to run him to the fecking bank. Then while at the bank he walked past the car & into a shop (I was convinced he was doing a runner!!) Then 5mins later he waltzed out with carrier bags containing what I can only imagine was Irn Bru, cheese quavers & fags jumped in the car & gave me money rolled up saying count it if you wish while making eye contact. So I counted it.....tenner short!!! Erm not enough mate....urm oh right aye ok I think ive another tenner here. Who mentioned a tenner short like?? 
Honestly some people!! 
I didnt mind that much because I was happy to be getting rid of the thing he bought.
It was quite comical & to be honest I actually quite like stuff like this type of thing, I'd call it a cultural experience without leaving home!!
It was pretty much like going to Wayne & Waynetta Slobs house on giro day!!

Colin, You're paying for his house anyway via your income tax so you might as well be his taxi service too!

Fuck that, I'll give you a tenner, and I'll come pick it up, it'll cost you though, whatever the bus costs me.

I just sold my standard STi rims on ebay with starting price of £150 they went for £245 in the end.
During the auction I recieved a message saying, "would you take £75 and end the auction early seeing as all 4 rims need refurbishing". 
I just politely refuse the cheeky buggers, especially if there are a lot of watchers and bids. At the end of the day you are there to do business, not make friends.

I refused to sell my Premium brand new xbox360 on ebay to some mid auction question master who offered me less than the price of it retail £300 iirc(was sealed etc) this was when you couldnt get hold of them...
I politly refused and he got all arsey saying i wouldnt even get what he was offering and i should be wise to accept his offer...
Went for £460 in the end
Also always get the how much to ship abroad etc even though my ad states in more than one place wont ship abroad.
infuriating tbh

If I'm buying I always go in lower. Although that guy has gone about it the wrong way.

Yes i want to hear this tale, things i want to know
What did the boys dad who told you to take it away look like?
Was there an argument on the street between the boy and his dad?
Did the dad end up flooring the boy?
Did you tell him the piano was hotter then a scousers TV?
cheers

Ive been selling all the bits from my track car recently and some of the offers you get are a joke.
2 brand new corbeau seats and sidemounts and also 2 brand new TRS harnesses up forsale, had them up for 700 in total (2 seperate ads but together were £700)
Some guy asked if I would take 300 for the seats and side mounts and throw in the harnesses for free seen as he was buying my seats!!

Its murder isnt it. But I guess if you dont ask you dont get, however its when they argue they are giving you a good price after you say no that pisses me off.
One guy told me he could "get my seats cheaper off the internet" So why are you even bothering me then you twat?!

We don't tend to get called Northerners as that's usually the name for people from the top end of England and we don't want associated with you.

it's a collective thing really.
anyone north of the m25 is a northener so you're all in the same category 
we can tell the difference though because english northerners don't wear skirts and don't have ginger hair.
any ''english'' ginger haired person is a scottish trying to integrate with the english society.
