Okay, so, I'll go ahead and comment on my thoughts on your last post, since I resisted doing so the other day since I think you are taking my opinions to seriously. You are more than welcome to a different opinion than mine, but I do want my opinions to be viewable to all those who come here and read, even if they don't post. I'm not here to bash bookoo sellers. I'm here to make friends and converse with them on day to day stuff, which occasionally includes bookoo happenings. the reality is people are already posting what this thread is all about anyway in other places on underground.... What this thread is all about anyways is subjective to the viewer. Like you view it a different way than I do. We post it elsewhere on underground and it's already mis-interpreted by viewers as being heartless and cruel. We underground ladies get a bad rep based on those few posts, that many of us don't even make. I just don't feel a neon sign for it will "help" our case in proving we aren't here to be b*tches like so many claim we are. .And if anyone has a problem with anyone reading what they are saying then they shouldn't be writing it for the entire underground to read in the first place. People write stuff, people read stuff. Just because the person writing it didn't have a problem stating it, doesn't mean it won't hurt the reader. The reader would be the innocent bystander in all of this. Some women can take criticism, but as we have seen over and over and over again, a lot of women get HURT very very easily over what people say. The person I referred to I had contacted which is how I found out they had told multiple people they could all have the same item. Yeah, they probably should have said "first come, first serve". Secondly, the person you "referred" to, is not "named" Therefore, just go "rant" about it under the rant. Having this here is going to open up people who will post names of sellers and ultimately ruin their reputation. Even if it doesn't ruin their reputation and people still buy from them, if the seller were to read it, they might feel they've lost sales due to it. FACT- People get mad when you talk about them in a negative light, even if they are guilty of it or not. Some women do not read here, and may never even have a chance to defend themselves. Even if you leave out names, someone will name names. I feel if this thread offends or bothers somebody they should do the same and just not read it Yeah, that would be the great idea... but our "lurkers" are curious, and they read, and when their name pops up... BOOM. Drama. Or maybe a supporter reads it, until their name comes up... Oh, and you are missing out on the rant thread. No one really goes there and posts crazy serious drama, it's 99% little stuff that some times makes you laugh, and the support of the women there who comment back, is a phenomenal thing. Great way to bond with the other women here, who may actually share in the daily dramas you experience, or have kind words of support. 

My Memmaw always told me, if you can't say anything nice, don't say nothing at all. 

Stella: Here is my response :0) I think you do make some great points! But I think if this thread is used like the no-show one, then theres not really a problem. Now this is my experince with the no-show thread, I read it and a few names popped up a lot. One of them wanted an item from me, she was the first to respond. I gave her until the time she said she would be here, and then I let her know that it would go to the second person in line who was comming one hour after her. She showed up on time, had exact change and it was a pleasent selling experince. What this thread is all about anyways is subjective to the viewer Exactly, it can be a helpful thread not just a nasty one. 

ok so I haven't been on here in several days, but I agree 100%.....I would love to see this thread used for buyers just like the no shows thread is used for sellers. BratsMuttsNFish.....Well said, my granny always says the same thing!Thanks for reminding us! 

my question is, where are all the bad sellers? 

where are all the bad sellers? Mine are in my head. When I have a bad experience with someone, I figure chances are it's situational or my own thoughts/feelings about the experience. I just make a mental note that I don't want to buy from them again, or caution, or whatever. I've never had such a horrible experience with a buyer that I felt I needed to post it online to "warn others". 

i honestly cant think of a bad seller i've had. bad buyer, yes lol 

i honestly cant think of a bad seller i've had. That may be my problem. I've never had anyone do anything so very terribly wrong. I've bought things that I later find out they paid less for, but so what? They made what... 5 dollars off me? If I hadn't known, I'd probably still have thought it was a great deal. The few people I "choose" not to buy from again, are because of their home conditions. I don't like buying things from homes that smell heavily of cigarette smoke or just seem "dirty". It's my standard. Most stuff from a dirty home can be cleaned up and no one would know it had every been in such a nasty environment. Heck, the stuff I buy at thrift stores I suppose could have been in those homes. 

Wait! You've got it Jenn. How about "not where are these bad sellers"... how about someone define what makes a "bad seller". 

ok, i did buy something awhile back for $2, and it was new. after i got it, i realized it was actually something that was sold at the dollar tree. oh well, lesson learned. but i wouldnt necessarily say they were a bad seller 

I had a bad experince with a seller that if there was this post at the time, I would have wrote about it. I dont remember her name, but She had a wooden toddler bed that matched my set. I asked if she could hold to payday, she said yes, not a problem. A few days before payday I noticed that she marked it sold, I emailed her and shes like oh my husband sold it, sorry. I consider that a bad seller, someone who does not hold on to their word. Same as a no show! 

Lynn. My husband has pulled that crap on me. I'll post something and he'll sell it at work without me knowing!! So you can't hold that against her. 

No it was the fact that she could not even email me and tell me. 

That happened to me too. I had a man call about my lawn mower and weed eater I had for sale and I said sure come by later and get it. Went to the garage and it was gone. Called my husband, oh he had sold it to someone at work. Had to call the guy back and apologize, was so embarrassing. 

At least you called to apologize, she didnt, thats why I felt she was a bad seller. 

There's a lady giving something away for free. I emailed her saying I wanted them, that I was going on post for an FRG meeting the next day and gave her my phone #. She replied saying she still had the items and I could have them. But gave me no # or address lol. I replied again *early in the morning* with my number and asking for hers...... Nothing. Later that day sent her another mssg like "Hey Im on post, gimme a call if you read this and what not"... This was two days ago lol and she never replied. I guess bc it's something free ppl don't care at all replying a message lol. But I also have to think that I never know if she had an emergency! So yeah....whatever lol 

I don't want anyone getting mad at me just gonna state my opioion as well.....I just don't think we should hold all sellers and buyers to the same standards as a no show or a sell out from under you,both has happen to me,but i just don't trust the ones that do me that way.We all are not as polite and sinciere as we should be,but i won't hold it against everyone,its a chance you take when sell or buy something,it not only happens on here,its just life.We all have also promised something to someone and the other spouse gave it to a buddy before you both could comunicate to each other ,sometimes its a accident and sometimes diliberate. 

We all have also promised something to someone and the other spouse gave it to a buddy before you both could comunicate to each other ,sometimes its a accident and sometimes diliberate. Not me. What i sell has nothing to do with my husband. He doesn't know what i have on bookoo, and he wouldn't try selling anything without checking with me first, anyway. 

My hubby wouldnt either, My problem is people who do it, and then dont have the commen curtisy to say sorry! 

yeah, thats whats wrong. courtesy isnt so common lol. i just dont get how people cant have the decency to take 30 seconds to send an email apologizing. im sure they'd be upset if it happened to them 

Right now, I am mostly a buyer and I have had my ups and downs, but not intentionally. I have forgot about going to someone's house, forgot to call or email, got busy and couldn't make it, but when I remembered or had the time, I always sent an email back apologizing. Just not always right away. Now my husband has sold quite a bit out from under me or thrown it out without telling me, because he was tired of seeing it sit around "in his way".. My items are in good condition, but he doesn't care if we can get money for them or not, he just wants them gone sometimes. Oh well.. Sorry for ranting about my husband. I have had someone sell me a tv and said they would bring the TV stand when they came. They arrived with just the TV, no stand. She said she would either bring it by the next day or two, or she would let me know when we could meet up. I emailed her for 3 weeks without a response. I finally caught her on CHAT and she said "thought you weren't interested anymore, since I haven't heard from you" I told her how many times I had emailed her and sent her messages and chat and got no response. I asked her how much she wanted for her desk she had posted also and she signed out of chat and changed her screen name. I haven't been able to find her again. How about that for a bad seller! 

I have a rant about an extrememly RUDE seller. I have emailed this lady asking about her product, because her description in her ad was unclear. She responded "I'm sure you could Google the description and you could see it". I asked her 2 times what style is your product and she never answered me. I finally told her what style it was and where she could have found the description. So, I told her that my husband wanted a different color one (I was buying him his vday present). She responded "I told you what model and brand, and you have something different...Pay attention!" I know what I have and what I wanted to buy. My husband needs a different brand than I do--and she was so rude to ASSUME what I needed. I told her that I would not be buying from her ever again and that I heard that she was trying to rip some people off. She responded "I am however not stupid. I know your "friend" put you up to this. I did not "Rip" anyone off. I am selling this for my sister you idiot!" I don't have a "friend" where I got my information---I got it from Underground. Another person commented about her in the rant section (she didnt ever use her name)..and the lady basically came on there and ratted herself out! LOL. I don't think anyone would have known it was her if she wouldn't have came out on a public forum and made herself known. Anywho, this lady was soo extrememly rude, I will never buy from her again. Watch for clues in our emails, Ladies. If they're rude, they're product might not be what you're expecting! 

who was it? 

Wow! 

Tricia-you must be talking about me. I didn't know we were "friends"! LOL. You know what happens when you ASSuME!! Yeah, she's a piece of work! 

Well, Beaker, since we are friends all of a sudden--we should start hanging out! Don't be offended, but is that your real name? Sorry, I'm a blunt person lol 

I'm not offended, not a lot of things offend me. No, its a nickname that my husband calls me. Have u ever seen Muppet Babies? There's a character on there named Beaker. My husband calls me Beaker because he says I sound like him when I talk. He's a jerk, I know lol. It just kinda stuck after a while. Well, Tricia I'm glad were "long lost friends" according to that lady! 

I am not going to name names but really if the lots of baby stuff have nasty stains put them in the trash don't sell the junk in a lot with a few nice pieces................... I paid like $20 bucks for 5 pieces. I have learned and won't make that mistake again. 

Ann: I am with you there. I dont understand sellers who KNOW their clothes has stains ect.. Why are they selling it.. give it away or donate it.. come on now... 

i always post if i have any stains. and its always in a lot. if i dont put it in my ad, i tell the buyer
