Default How rude/blunt are people?

My first advert and as it is theres not alot of interest but anyway get two pm's one resonable and the other well what can i say.

It say's how much?

Firstly its in the add but what happened to a hello or such in a message doesn't take much jsut a pm saying now much even when it says in the add.
What do people think when they ask a question thats in the add are they really going to get a reply?
Thats reasonable if they cant read porperly how do i know they are going to care for the snake in question porperly?
Wondering should i just really fight for space and keep the snake in question even if he does not fit in with plans.

Placing classifieds on here is a horrible experience - be warned. It is always a lovely surprise when you get a really nice buyer turn up!!

I just wish I knew of a better classifieds....

gotta agree with this most people can hardly type please or thank you, what ive learned be as blunt and as rude as them, as i did on my last classified ad,
with some putting AGE????
i think theyll think better about putting something like that again,with the reply i give them
please, thank you, can be type in under 2 seconds, and also buying is just as bad as selling, most people cant be arsed to reply to something there selling,
hopefully just a phase were going thru on the classifieds, but i somehow doubt it,
generally selling on here has been mostly a pleasurable experiance, but its really gone down off late,

Awww we're not all like that you know! I always try and make a special effort to be polite when buying from sites... I like to think Im like that in real life.. so why be any different online?

i agree SOME people are just ignorant in comunication terms i always try to be polite and add a bit more detail into what im enquiring about or trying to sell, i mean lets face it manners arent exactly expensive but without them things can be,
as if i was to get two replies for something i advertised as offers and someone politely asked if id accept a sensible price for said item and another said ill giv u a 5er i probably wouldnt reply to the latter,

I think it's just a sad reminder of the kind of society we live in now There aren't too many people left with good old fashioned manners.

I get it all the time so I just reply in the same manner as they contacted me.

"customer" - 36x18x18 price?

"me" - £50

"customer" - do it for £40?

"me" - no, it's £50

"customer" - i can get it cheaper from "" Mr/Mrs X ""

"me" - go for it

Don't let rude people get on your nerves or wind you up too much. I take pleasure in the knowledge that I have far more manners and respect when talking to somebody I don't know than they'll ever have. However, if the situation requires, I can be just as rude and unpleasant in return, lol.

Best regards,
Volly

Rude people suck! I think you should always speak (or write) to people the way you would like to be spoken to! Just ignore the impolite messages!
