'Dibs'

Postby greenwoo » Fri Mar 01, 2019 8:32 pm

Has part of the adult population regressed to 'child' speak?

I see this term on a few sites in the For Sale sections....
'1st dibs'

Isn't cash/payment 'king'? How many threads exist where the so called dibber then pulls out; ppal issues, oh i didn't realise it was black, oh its not real carbon, yah de yah.......what happened to 'I want it, you'll have ppal/transfer in the next 10 mins'....

Hate selling, last go at it was for a set of wheels, “How about donating them for my project car..” fook off you fooktard, rather bury them in the garden than give it to you.. you free loading cock wombal.

Buyings not much better lately, got shafted by a “British” seller selling camera batteries.. ended up coming from China, and near enough retail price paid for a poor copy.

Bought a couple of valley gasket clamps, powder coated and sold as reconditioned. The label in the image covered the big chip in the powder coating.. funny that. Too much hassle sending back and quibbling over the bloody postage.

First dibs, a locost forum special.. twats.

Oh dont get me started! I put a brand new and unused pump on the bay. A £400 pump new, an Italian bloke contacted me and said he would sort collection. He made a big thing of professionally packaging it. This made me nervous and it was in the original packaging from the manufacturer. I added additional bubble wrap and took many photos, including the pump serial number. He then claimed for a damaged pump on delivery and said it was because of poor packaging. Long and painful claim process which was only resolved when I showed Ebay the serial number for my pump didn't match the one the tw@t showed pictures of and his claim was rejected. I now wont sell anything abroad and hate selling on the bay full stop.
