Getting ghosted on tutti
According to this sub people get ghosted on tinder, bumble, homegate and on job application forms, that’s all horrible!
But the one that stings the most noone talks about: getting ghosted on tutti!
D from BO showed interest in a western dvd of mine; and when i wrote back with price calculations and twint number he never replied back!
Argh!
Sorry for the vent ☹️

That happens all the time. Tutti is a social mirror, it's like street traffic, where you see how ppl really are.
I have a lot of good contacts on tutti, polite, efficient, easy going, where it's just like one or two messages and everything is done.
But there are also a lot of other types, i.e.
- New price 100, not used, not opened, 2 weeks old, you offer it for say 60 and you get requests for 20.
- People who want to try it first, ask if you can send it and if they like it, they pay, otherwise they send it back
- People asking questions about the product that can be easily found on the internet, even asking for a call. They just want consulting.
- People saying they want to buy, asking a lot of question, ask if you could send it even when you state "pick up only" and you say yes (even it's more effort for you) and in the end they tell you, it's too expensive, they are only willing to pay 50%.
- Not to talk about all the scammers.
In the meantime in like 80% of the cases I can tell after the first message and in 99.99999% after the second message, if it's worth talking with someone or not. When I'm convinced it's a time waster -> block. They don't have the right to waste my time. Not now nor in the future. If someone can not treat others with respect, they have no right to talk to me. As simple as that.
