My only beef is when people post something for sale but don't put their location in the title. I don't like it when something looks appealing and I click on it only to learn they're thousands of kilometers away. It's not a big deal, but since we're whining about stuff I just thought I'd pipe in LOL.

The world doesn't make sense.... If you wait for everyone else to do what they "should", you'll die of old age.

If you want it make a reasonable offer, otherwise giggle and say to yourself "they'll never sell it that way" and move on

The same used item could be for sale on twenty different sites for 20 different prices. I've bought a number of items over the years were people just said "make an offer". So I place an offer for a little less than I would expect to pay and generally they accept and I get a good deal! I find most of these people just want to clear up the clutter and just don't know how much to ask. The odd one will come back with too high of a counter offer and you just gotta say "no, thanks" and move on. The condition of an item is also in the eye of the beholder.
