Ok Just so EVERYONE is clear.....I can NOT and will NOT hold items for more than the day that you contact me. I have had too many no shows in the past. I have actually delivered stuff to ppl that leave or just don't answer the door or they never show up at all. If you don't like that then don't buy from me simple as that!
A person today got all rude and hateful because of this and I even stated I couldn't say if I could hold something till april 1st because of the past problems with holding something but if I still had it on april first I would love to sell it to them. Here is a copy of the exact words exchanged. Please tell me I wrote in plain english and its not like latin or hebrew or some unknown language.

Title:2 T-Mobile Phones
Price:varies
------------------------------------
I personally think what I said was plain and simple enough!
What happened did you end up selling the phone to someone and then they got pissed or what? Why were they so hateful.
I dont think theres anything wrong with what you said. If you dont want to hold then you dont have to. What if you did hold and they change there mind then you lost out on all the other potential buyers.
I hold for people and I dont care personally if theyve been a no show to me. ive been a no show Im not gonna lie so i cant get mad at someone for doing to me what ive probably done to them. I have my reasons for not showing up and none of them are good ones.. i dont think you should have held on to it for them. You did the right think; with all the no shows out there you really cant take the chance of not making any money and not selling that item.
you know what you guys, Thats not even the worst of it though. Ya complaining about holding stiff how about the cheap people on this site. you know what I hate the most. when I have a new item never been opened, priced significantly under what it cost new in a store and people still want to offer less. THAT ANNOYS ME!!!. I can understand offering less on used items or items that are like $3 under something that you could get new but if im selling it at half off what it selfs for now then why offer me less your already getting a discount.. People are greedy and they want everything free when they want and how they want it. and it dont work like that. We pay good money for our $hit and we are not about to just give it away to you because your too damn cheap to pay full price at the store and too damn cheap to buy it from me for less than half the price. If you cant afford to pay what Im asking (which is reasonable) then you dont need it. (thats what my momma always said). CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP AND ITS GETTING ON MY LAST NERVE!!!
I really dont think thats the case all the time. Some people yes are cheap and think they should get everything on this site dirt cheap because its a yard sale online.
But there are others that need your items or want your items and just cant afford to buy them at your asking price and definitely not at the price at the store. They are not trying to get over on you they are just trying to get there items at a price they can afford.
Instead of getting so annoyed and upset just say no or dont answer the email at all. You dont have to sell it at any lower than what your asking but that doesnt mean they cant make an innocent offer. Also if you dont want to take less than what your asking then put price firm on your stuff. its too easy.
you know wha why dont you just shut your face becuse your annoying me no one care sabout what you think and i sure as hell did not ask your opinon. you should talk you and all your crap you have for sale I hope none of your stuff sales. I asked you today if you would take $70 for all the size 11/13 clothes you have posted and you got the damn nerve to tell me know your crap is used HELLOOOO used you dont nee dto be selling that stuff for that price... why you selling it because your desperate for money well than fat a$$ $70 is the best your gonna get. and even ifyour poor and cant affird the price im asking what does that entitle you to get things cheaper from others because your poor no i dont think so you aint special becaus eyour poor so just shut your face! your annoying
Oh please your an idiot. you offered $70 for items that were posted for over $150 all together of course I said no. Im not desperate for cash and the stuff I posted is well worth asking price. $5 for capris in excellent condition and $10 for namebrand jeans NWT is reasonable to me .. these prices are what I would pay on here . also 95% of my stuff was namebrand and in excellent condition so why dont you "shut your face" you idiot. who says that anyway. I cant shut my face I can shut my mouth but definitley not my face.
If you have such a problem with my prices then go to the store and buy it new and spend several hundred. I gave you a fair price and you said no and thats it what are you crying about.
Also Im not poor I have money thats why Im asking $5 for short and so on because I spent so much on my clothes. I buy what I want when I want at asking price. i dont wait for stuff to go on clearance. Im only selling cause they dont fit plain and simple.
you know what is really funny you were just complaining about people that make low ball offers and here you are being who annoys you most.. how ironic... get a life and stop harrassing me over my used items that are "crap". Im tired of opening my email and having hate messages from you, Im growing tiresome of it.
If you have nothing better to do tonight then why dont you take your self to sleep.
Also stop messaging me on here, were not friends. If you have something to say then say it publicly on here so everyone can read. I dont want to message with your privately your a jerk.
Get over me and my clothes already...
Yeah they where mad because I sold the item! But then proceded to tell me about karma and crap! AFTER i told them I couldnt say I would hold it.
Serdiously, if you where just complaingin about low balling ppl and then you turn around and do that is just hateful! Come on now. Hypocrite!
I dont understand why they would get mad, april 1st is a long time to hold something for someone especially since there is a payday in between there. Your e-mail clearly stated you wouldnt hold and they said OK like they new what was going on and understood your point. April 1 is over 20 days of holding I dont think even i would have agreed to that.
I know right. such a jerk, i wish i could email the bookoo people but I cant get on the site. hes emailing me and then sending me private messages on here all night long and then he started texing me sying some crazy things. like he knows where I live and he know I have a daughter and i should be careful because I dont know who may be watching...blah blah blah is he kidding me with that. Am I supposed to be intimidated..lmfao well Im not come on by and see what I got waiting for you
I really want to know if his name is David or Ken. Watch out for the names though. Apparently they have never been told NO in their life!

i think the reason you holding stuff for poeple don't go so well is because you sell it underneath them in the first place and i always when i tell someone i'll get something i do it plan and simple just this month alone i got tv trays that was hold for me in feb
yeah well I blocked him form my email and from here. People on here can get rediculous sometimes. Is it really worth all this drama I mean theyre my items can I do what I want with them. Well he's an idiot because he was texing me so I have his number and I called the cops and filed a complaint not sure if they can do anything about it but I gave them the # to the person who was threatening and I took copies of the emails and stuff. im pretty sure they are just going to sit on it though because ive made complaints on poeple before and they dont do anything at least not anything Ive seen.
Did you guys know that if you call the prceint and want to make a report they ask you if you want to come down to the precint to make the reposrt or do you want someone to come to the house. Thats cool i didnt know they did that. Well the officer came to the house about an hour after I called to be honest he looked like he didnt ccare and I was wasting his time. But i dd it anyway just in case you never know I may need proof late rin the future that this a-hole was harrasing me... Now I know how that dog flipper girl felt and that cake lady to have someone constantly putting you down for no good reason.
well thanks ladies its always good to t alk these things out.. oh and by the way I think thats a man with a ladies name because he was talking about doing stuff to me tht a women cant do and he talked about buying this stuff for his loved ones so I figured it was a guy.
** sorry for the mispelled words Im eating and typing fast**
david kenneth harris is his name just to let you know ive bought from him and he lives over in the P.O'S so if he is really stalking and causing this much trouble then here is his full name so it will help with reporting him. here is also a few of his emails
coolbeer69@yahoo.com
killbill240@yahoo.com
spiderdemon234@yahoo.com
You know what i find funny when someone is selling something on SYS and on craigslist and they posted there items to both sites but with different prices. those red filing cabinets were originally posted on SYS for $80 for both or $40 each that was the original price and now they are on CL asking for $45 a piece today when that was never their price to begin with it was always $80. I can understand if thst waht they had originally asked once before but no the entire time it was on SYS it was $80
ive done that before but the reason i post it for more on criagslist is because bookoo is more military and i like giving military a better deal then civilians, im just weird though
and brooke did that info on david help at all ?
I think his name is david because he writes just like that david guy with an account on bookoo but who knws he could have two or more accounts most people do anyway with an alias
All info helps rightnow "time to call you out" but Im thinking if this person is going to email me like that then they must be using n alias account unless there just dumb and want to get caught. Does anyone know if the lawton police willa ctually do anything though. Has anyone had this happen to them.
well I just sold only half the clothes for basically the amount he was offering for it all..lol..
he has not messaged me in a while but he used 3 different emails one with david, one with diane and now one with craig winters on it... WTF like what the point to all this anyway. geese Im a noce person but it doesnt mean Im a give all my stuff away..
I just dont understand some people anymore.. and who say shut your face anyways what kind of remark is that.
well now I know not to give my number and address out until they are on there way becaus eyou really dont know what kind of pyscho is on the other side of that email
AMBER
sorry for all the post.. but I just thought about something. Why would he need to create so many accounts with so many different aliases unless he burned some bridges with the other accounts and the only way to burn those bridges are to no show on people or to treat people badly like he did you. I mean I always change my name on bookoo but my two emails are always the same and they both say leslie..
you know "time to call you out" I never thought about it that way with posting different prices Ive always thought that the audiences are generally the same because many people on bookoo are not military. But I have noticed on CL people are more willing to pay asking price as opposed to bookoo. I sell stuff for asking price on CL and on bookoo people are offering me less than half of what Im asking and before I post most of my stuff I always look to see what it sell for now so many of my prices are reaosnable already. (atleast I think so) :-)
well sorry to keep posting but I just thought about this while drinking my coffee..lol
Yeah I imagine he has burned bridges before. I mean its my choice to hold something if I want to or don't want to. I mean I understand times are hard and what not but I also know that some ppl have a BAD habit of no showing. I think its ridiculous that some ppl want something for nothing I usually tell them flat out no or just don't respond. I have had the same problem with ppl on bookoo wanting everything for less than half of what im asking. On CL i have always got asking price unless i just decide to take less. I usually look on amazon and ebay in reference to pricing my things. I have seen some stuff priced WAY too high. Just like the other day I mean a 5.4 megapixel or something like that camera for like $300 bucks?! I think not!
yeah I noticed that too it was pretty rediculous. I always accept offers if theyre reasonable simply because I have so much stuff and I really do need to start downsizing.. we need the space.. but if the offer was rediculous I just cant find myself to say yes and then they just dont stop they add $5 to the amount they offered before and see if you can take that. I mean if I put it for $50 why would I take $25 if theres nothing absolutely wrong with the item.
Yeah I woudlnt hold either if I were you especially not until the 1st. I mean whatever happened to the 15th seriously. I just had a no show today I called her and she said she was out of town in Ohio and will not be back for a week which I found funny because she just messaged me about my stuff like at 1 am last night and scheduled to meet with me sunday (today) I mean you didnt know you were out of town then because I know you didnt make it to Ohio that fast and not have a clue that you were going (if she even really went).. Its rediculous what people say and then they get mad because people dont want to hold items anymore. I dont understand it
OMG This guy is seriously getting on my nerves. He like wont stop messaging me.

i guess you was not grownup enough to handle your own problems and had to bring other people into it
and because of my spelling is a little bad you have to make fun of it i treated you not bad just because you don't like to be called a lier and on top of that you got people involed where there shouldn't trying to make me look bad you and a group of other women on here makes the site look bad on the way they handle themselfs no wonder when someone is a no show you fly off the handlle
on other hand i am a very nice and sweet guy just when someone doesn't keep there word brings out the worst in me i guess
i am not saying am sorry but next time you do any biz with anyone think on there feelings and make sure you keep your word
am old fashion i guess is when my word means alot hopefully if ever we do biz again you treat me with a little self repect " hoping how that is spelled
----------
What I can make out is that im a TERRIBLE PERSON! Oh and he is such a nice person yet he says this.....shut your face oh and I am childness*childish?!*! I mean yeah he is "REALLY" "NICE"!
I HATE no shows! I think those ppl are SOOOOOOO inconsiderate. Then they complain about ppl no showing. OH and apparently I fly off the handle by posting on here and I am in a group of mean women that puts everyone down.......UM NO! Once you cross the line of being psycho and stalkerish that is when I fly off the handle LOL!
OMG you did keep your word, you said you werent sure if you can hold it, and you had another interested buyer so you sold it just like you said you would because you wasnt sure you would hold on to it. He must not catch on too quickly. No where in the email did you say you would hold it... and he just keeps making it worst wow he should just let it go already seriously.
you should just block the email on your yahoo so he cant email you anymore block all of the emails he has used already and if he makes a new one just so he can message you so then yes he has some serious problems. Hes mad because you brought other people into it but you had no choice. theres nothing wrong with getting a third parties "nuetral opinion". I read the emails myself and I saw clear as day where you said you dont think you will be able to hold it. I dont understand why people dramatize over items when they didnt get them its chldish.. so you didnt get it; there will be othwer opportunities. I mean people are posting new stuff all the time on here including phones.
I had a similar problem with my blackberry I had posted for $75 someone offered me $50 and I said sure then the same person offered me $20 and then I said no and then they went up to $30 and I said no and then they went up to $40 and I still said no. But supposedly when they offered $20 that was all they had at the moment and all these offers were in the same day. its like wow in just a matter of minutes you found $20 wow I wish I had there luck. And on top of that they wanted me to hold it for them for a week. I was like no I know someone out there will give me $75 for it its well worth its a blackberry curve. I said I cant hold it if a better offer comes across. then they offer $45 and i didnt answer anymore and then they were like ok I can give you the $50 and i didnt answer because i was thinkingthis person is playing childish games and Im not interested in participating and you know what the next day i sold it to a male nurse for $75..lol
I clearly state on almost everything I post its first come first serve but that doesnt mean if your the first in line with a $20 Ill take it. It just doesnt work like that and people need to learn how to take there losses better.
you are definietly not a terrible person. A person that continues to Cyber stalk someone for used items for sale is the bad person. I mean move on and get a life its sold and gone.
Wow so now we all mean women because we share opinions on a site which is intended exactly for that... please I dont think so.
Ah! You guys! How come you didn't invite me to the brawl?! Lol
Brooks,
Niña, no pierdas tu tiempo con las muergana esa de la Diane, se ve ques bien estupida y tacaña. Como decimos nosotros "sueltala en banda" :D Hope you understand that; I know our dialects are very different.
This Ken guys was the same guy Here was after for being bipolar, seems like he turned out to be a real jerk and Here wasn't so wrong about him after all. He has an ads on bookoo, one for DVDs and the other one offering people to help them find cars or something like that.
All,
That whole seller-buyer-hold-no-show-drama will never end; you just have to be selective to whom you sell to. Yeah, that might means that you might not get to sell your items right away, but it will save you the headache and an ulcer from dealing with inconsiderate, cheap, rude people.
