HOW NOT TO SELL ON EBAY

#1

Post by CMD »

WOW Check out this ebay description !!! horrible ebay seller

"LOT OF 24 RUPERT KNICKERBOCKER BEER CANS, JACOB RUPPERT, NEW YORK, N.Y. 12 FLUID OUNCES FLAT TOP CANS, ALL HAVE SOME RUST ON THEM IN ONE SHAPE OR THE OTHER AND MOST OF THEM HAVE A DENT, SOME HAVE BEEN OPENED FROM THE TOP AND SOME HAVE BEEN OPENED FROM THE BOTTOM, PICTURE #8 IS OF THE TOP OF THE CANS AND #9-12 ARE PICTURES OF THE BOTTOM. I CANNOT GO THROUGH THE CODES AND NUMBERS AND CONDITION OF EACH CAN INDIVIDUALLY. THAT IS WHY THE LOT IS PRICED ACCORDINGLY. CANS WILL BE SENT IN A BOX WITHOUT EACH CAN BEING WRAPPED SEPERATELY."

so hes just going to throw them all in one box unwrapped and hope you get one or 2 decent cans out of the whole lot

wow!

Here's what I sent

Dear mpjns123,

Would you really not individually wrap each can in newspaper? That would take all of 5 minutes. A lot of collectors would probably bid, but why ,if they are going to get a bunch of cans all dented and scratched in shipping

- cactuscans

....................................................................................
Here's her reply

Dear cactuscans,

They are already dented and scratched as explained.

WOW stay away

Guess she heard you.

"By popular demand with a lot questions and concerns.... I will wrap each can with paper... I emphasize cans have dents, scratches and rust! And how you receive them is as is and should be considered cast off somewhat damaged cans...thanks!"

I wonder how upset she will be if the auction does not get any bids.
Focus: Cones and flats from Michigan, South Bend, and Fort Wayne. Foreign cans only if I bought them myself in the country of origin.

Or if the buyer asks to send the cans back due to worse condition than described...
