  1. Tried selling a gaming rig. Was fun.

    – numerous people asked to buy one piece of the machine. Telling me I could still sell the other pieces. No takers on buying the machine for the piece and selling the rest.
    – One guy offered to swap graphics cards. His card being a potato.
    – One person agreed asking price then asked me to drop the price to 1/10th the cost. They only agreed the asking price so they could DM me.

    Eventually sold it to a neighbour.

  2. I think I did the wrong thing when I bought my car.

    I looked it up online.
    Arranged to meet the seller.
    Test Drove it.
    Made a fair offer.
    Accepted sellers counter offer.
    Went home
    Got bankers draft for the value agreed
    Came back the next day
    Handed draft to original owner.
    Waited until cashed.
    Did paperwork over cup of tea in the original owners house.
    Pulled the trigger on the insurance I’d already arranged.
    Original owner put out the fancy biscuits.
    Left in Car I just bought.
    Never darkened the original owners door again.

    I’ve put thousands into repairing that thing because I do not want to deal with shitehawks on Donedeal.

  3. Had multiple people asking for “student discounts” when i was selling my car on donedeal

    Also the “im a single mother”

  4. my wife wanted to sell a small aloe vera plant. we’re talking like 5 euros.

    that person asked if we could post it to them for 5.

  5. Adverts is just full of gobshites. Never read the descriptions where everything is laid out. Tried selling a camera for 6k and everyone just looking to buy bits off it. Waste of time altogether. I just traded the camera in, got less money but also less hassle
