No offense but, did you make him a goofy offer?While I understand the hustle, I hate resellers at the same time. The greedy asf ones, let me be more specific. Bro I found a dude on eBay with some heat! He had around 8-12 pairs I’ve been looking for again, we’re both in the same city, so I’m like hey bro is it possible for me to get better pricing and pickup local and we do 2 pair at a time so you feel comfortable. Not only would he not offer local pickup still even with me saying meet at a police station, but he wouldn’t even budge with pricing.
Sh*t blew tf outta me. I don’t ever even type long as post like this but I had to vent![]()
I got over that feeling and it becomes easy the more you deal with such transactions. even a done deal that never materialized is quite upsetting especially if you have been looking for such since forever.While I understand the hustle, I hate resellers at the same time.

I do the same on eBay when buying video games. I look for the ones closest to me and make offers to pick them up since I know they’d rather not be bothered going to the post office to ship. It works for me and them.hey bro is it possible for me to get better pricing and pickup local and we do 2 pair at a time so you feel comfortable.

same with me. I just had a transaction a couple of months ago thru eBay. asked the seller if he was willing to sell local. even better, it was dropped off to my place. if his other items are still available, I might buy them come Xmas time.I do the same on eBay when buying video games.

On another note, damn I’m sad about Ray Liotta’s passing.
I had that happen too! Dude said “hey, I’ll just drop them off since it’s on my way to the store”same with me.

Not at all. Out of 8-12 pairs I only took off 100 max a pairNo offense but, did you make him a goofy offer?
Was so random, and by that hilarious.

. My younger brother a bit mad looks at dude & tells em tf is this all about homie? You tryna pass fake $. Guy goes nah this is what the ATM gave me & they're guaranteed real bills
. My younger brother also had the marker all them banks be using to verify real bills from the fake ones where the ink turns a certain color & lo & behold the color was like a purple-ish red when he marked the bills verifying the money was fake as Santa Claus.
. I wanted to add fuel to the fire but I was in uniform & on the clock with tenants around who are now staring in our direction because my brother is really being loud & in the dude's face so besides chill out & let it go I couldn't say much else & I was pushing my brother away from him. Dude walks back to his car & says "Imma be back with real cash" lmao & obviously never showed up again. Before getting into the car my younger one told em don't come back in this neighborhood ***** 


I feel you on that, it’s a possible. I just think that if anything were to pop off eBay has all the info. It’s not solid proof of safety but it helps me feel slightly safer.I used to do a lot of meetups for car parts back in the mid to late 2000’s. Never had any issues. Now, I would never. Not even at a police station. Who’s to say they won’t follow you back home or something? I get hit up on ebay to do meetups. Nope!
I hear ya. It's a very different world from what it was 10-15 years ago. The fear of potentially being followed home is the BIG ONE. You can never know if the person has one of his boys parked a block or two down & quickly sends someone a text to tailgate you after you part ways. My older brother(again) wanted to sell someone "coming from Jersey" a wheel at 2:30AM! His wife told em nope, not happening. She said "good folks don't go car part shopping at 2:30AM"I used to do a lot of meetups for car parts back in the mid to late 2000’s. Never had any issues. Now, I would never.

& that too giving the guy the address where you live. I told my bro at 2:30AM you're on your own, no brothers to watch your back & no magic marker either cuz my *** will be fast asleep, lol.Just stay strapped whenever you do this or a pocket knife at the very least.I feel you on that, it’s a possible.
