Is it just me or does anyone else find when you advertise something as collection only some bright spark always seems to ask "does it include postage" or "can you post it"..

It does my fucking head in!

Yes it happens all the time. I refuse to sell stuff to people who are so dumb they can't read an advert correctly. People that stupid aren't qualified to own my possesions!

I always advertise postage even if it is so woefully expensive that you would need to be crazy not to find one locally instead. A sale is a sale.

I also have a search set up on ebay to look for local collection and no post items near me as they normally end up cheaper.

I dont mind how much the postage costs but if I'm selling something for pittance just to clear some space and the price is based on the fact I dont have to walk to the post office.

For example I might be selling something for a fiver thats worth twice that but I just want it out the way and I'd rather take a fiver than put it down the tip.. But someone then asks me to post it.. Like I'm going to waste 10 minutes posting something to earn a bloody fiver! lol

I ask if they will be in for a courier...Its the same as me going to collect anyway

They may not be arsed to take to post office etc but most will wrap stuff in a beer create....

I don't see the problem? I often message asking if they wrap it up for me, and i'd organise postage.

The people who ask just piss me off a little bit. its the people who bid on ebay auctions that say "collection only" and I even put at the bottom "collection only means you come to me, and collect the item, I can't be in for a courier" etc. etc. and they STILL bid and they STILL email me afterwards asking about delivery..

FUCKING 'TARDS!
