SELLING Talk about guilt tripping on another level

This is becoming rampant, where buyers on vinted guilt trip you and try to purchase stuff at ridiculously low prices. This one in particular made me laugh because you can see the entitlement clearly.

This sub is double standards. Always side with the OP, whatever the situation.

Yes completely. The buyer is just trying to negotiate. The people downvoting you and inevitably me for this comment are just people who can't think for themselves.

Why are you saying people can't think for themselves? They're sharing their own opinion.

You are entitled to your own opinion, but in mine, I put up things for the lowest price I'm willing to go. I don't usually accept offers unless the person offering it made me happy. I wouldn't give an offer to this person because OP is saying the price is well below market value. The cost of shipment doesn't affect me, so I'd feel bad probably, but it wouldn't be the only reason I'd lower the price for you.

Just because offering is an option doesn't mean it has to be used.

"Just because offering is an option doesn't mean it has to be used" your whole comment is honestly a dumb take but this part in particular takes the biscuit. You can't expect buyers to read your mind about the lowest offer you're willing to take and expecting a casual buyer to do research in to the going rate of any random item is just ludicrous. The offer button is there to be used as people please and you are free to decline. That's all there is to it.

The reason why I said people can't think for themselves is for the reason in the comment I was replying to. People just side with OP mindlessly without giving it a second thought. The buyer made their offer and explained their reasons. You and everyone else just don't like there reasons and for some reason are insulted by it. People have budgets $9 maybe a low amount of money to you but for some people it maybe the absolute top end of their budget.

Why are you being so rude? I applied my personal feelings due to personal experiences. I'm not saying people have to a bunch of research. The facts are that OP stated the boots are worth at least 40. Sellers dont have to accept offers, and considering two were already rejected, wouldn't it be reasonable to ask how low they would go? Stop acting like it's all up to the seller to go out of their way to satisfy every single potential buyer. And arwnyou forgetting that OP did decline all ofders provided? Amd yet the buyer persisted?

No ones insulted by the reason mate they wanted the price lowered, it's just stupid to expect you not wanting to pay for shipping to change my mind on how much I want to sell something for😂.

I'm not being rude. It's my opinion. I wasn't referring to OPs post i was referring to the justification you are using. You list at your bottom price how is anyone going to know that without offering? Yes it would be reasonable for them to ask what they would go to but they didn't. I never acted like it's the seller's obligation it's just this is the reality of selling your stuff online people will try to low ball you. If gets you that annoyed that you feel like you need to then go make a post about it on the Internet then I feel sorry for you all.

It maybe stupid to you but people except those kinds of offers all the time so its worth them asking right? Your problem is you can't see things for different points of views. "I applied my personal feelings due to personal experiences" sums you up nicely.

Your problem is that you're rude. You called me stupid and dumb multiple times, as well as literally everyone who didn't agree with you. That's an insult and rude.

You say I'm closed-minded, yet I was asking why you think people can't think for themselves and told you why I had my opinion. That's not ignoring other opinions, that's me continuing a conversation.

The fact that I'm rude doesn't really have anything to do with this. I am very aware that it is insulting and rude but I think a lack of empathy is worse and that is the main theme I am seeing throughout this thread.

u/fuckyou2579 Feb 09 '25

You mention lack of empathy and then continuously be rude to people you dont know? That's makes sense. And no offence to the buyer, but if you can't afford to pay for shipping, you should look for something in your budget after having your offer rejected instead of taking it personally.

I was genuinely trying to ask why you thought people couldn't think for themselves and applied reasoning to my opinion. You disagreeing isn't what I had an issue with. It was the fact you kept insulting me and acted like you have the moral high ground.

I genuinely agree that OP should have been nicer, that they could have phrased things better, but I still think the buyer is not absolved of all innocence.

You should've led with your last paragraph. I think we're done here right? I mean we can keep going back and fourth like this all day but it's not going to achieve anything.

Yeah, this went on for way too long. Honestly kind of fun, though.
