Trying to buy a small RC boat on Marketbook Faceplace:
Me: I’m intersted in the RC boat and work in your town . Could we set up a time to meet?
Seller: ok
Then this:
uuuuuhhhhhhhhhh sooooooooooo likkeeee when? It’s hard to sell something if you can’t specify a date and time to meet someone. This is fifteen dollars we’re talking about. I don’t need a lot of time to think about it, or to inspect the item. We meet. I give you money. You give me item. Bye.
How hard can it be? He’s the one replying to me at 6:30am, it’s not like I’m being a pest. Aiden, I just know you’re a high school student whose parents probably told you they weren’t giving you any money because they know you’re vaping it away , but dude. Here I am waving money in your face.
TAKE IT

This is already more effort than I’m willing to expend for a $15 transaction.

my next and last reply would be “forget it. it’s obvious you don’t know how ‘selling something’ works.”

I am confident that nobody is named Aiden and is over 18 years old.

But I do really want it. See, a friend gave me a non-working model of my exact boat (same idea, simple electric RC platform) and my kids have been asking me to “fix it” ever since. So I’d either take the guts from this into my other one, or just let them have this one. Maybe paint it to match my boat, even though it’s of a newer model. For $15 I have nothing to lose but a little time and... dealing with... Aiden.

I probably know his parents. It’s a small town.

Ahh, sorry, I thought you were selling. Buying is a different story, especially with a unicorny item.
If you want to be really proactive, see if you can figure out who his parents are and contact them directly :)

Between Aiden, Braden, Jayden and the infinitely terrible spellings thereof, that’s like half the population of that age group. I can’t say there’s anything wrong with the names, objectively, but it’s just... I’ll stop there.

Every boy’s name now end with -en (or -an or -on).
Every girl’s name sounds like your great-grandma’s.

I’m mostly annoyed because these things are few and far between. He literally “doesn’t know what he has” and I WANT it

Update: Aiden said “he’d let me know when he gets home” but that was days ago. S o either he’s on a very long trip, or he’s lost, or he’s ... a lost cause. I might try one more message, more direct.
