I will go against the grain here.
Personally I was fine with the ad.
The OP just wanted an offer, not necessarily top $.
Against the rules as many of you (karens) were so quick to point out.
OP, next time put the price at $1M/obo.
Technically following the rules so all the split tails can find something else to whine about.

Why jackoff with it? Just put the ****ing price in the ad. That rule is there for a reason, it's not spurious.

I understand he didn't follow the rules.
But you girls reacted like he chopped off your arm.
Guess life is pretty good when chicken poop stuff like this gets you all riled up.
I mean seriously, name calling and bans?
Wow.

The ad is not so bad, lots of people forget prices. Most post them when that is pointed out.
Selling a bad part not as advertised and then starting a whinge thread basically about how hard done by you done been did, that is Karen territory.

Yes. But he was double guilty. He broke the rules then he complained - signed. Karen.

It appears the OP was asked multiple times to post prices. He said his price was "fair market value."
To me, that's nonsense.

Stating "fair market value" is the price is like someone telling me at work that they needed it ASAP. In my mind, ASAP means as soon as my schedule permits. So I'll have it to you next December. Fair market value? My fair market value is likely something the seller won't agree to.

Want to sell something, put a concrete price on it. No price, no sale. It is as simple as that...

What is more odd about this situation is that the OP sold some tires prior to this posting. In the tire thread he posted a price.

He broke the rules and after being reminded of the rules effectively said "**** off I'll do what I want"

Then sold an item he claimed was fully functional and when that turned out to not be the case claimed ignorance over what that item was which I find hard to believe. So that was another "**** you"

This thread exists because he came here to whine about being banned for a week expecting people to take pity on him.

He deserves all the "feedback" he's received.

This should have been an AITAH? reddit thread.

Sounds like he was too lazy to research the prices and just took reasonable offers, which would be a win for low offer bargains. Not standing behind the oil cooler is poor form. OP should have done the right thing instead of losing his credibility.

I didn't follow the entire thread.
Lost interest when all the pelican police started whining about the ad.
After reading the entire thread, I definitely agree he gave a big FU to all.
However, I still think some of you must have had sand in your vj to let something so trivial get you so wound up.
Wash the sand out and go do something fun!

Well, perhaps it was because they were just good tires but not great tires

i have mentioned multiple times about the holy order of karens that lurks outside parftertown.
But some don't wanna admit it lol.

That being said i humbly would offer another angle to consider, in this specific circumstance. Clealry the op is a dildobaggins. As such never ever hold back on a chance to kick a dildobaggins in the jimmy.

This is a simple case of dogpilin a dildobaggins, not one of the sister karens. Those we mock mount.
