Ayou21553552688 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hanging out on TM ... asking questions, with seemingly no intention of bidding and using the Q&A section to pass comment, good or bad, seems to have become some sort of national pass time in NZ.

Ernie1553552694 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yeah, I get the paradox Mr A P, but imagine if you will, being a retailer that has to contend with hecklers in the corner of your shop every time a genuine customer walks in the door. It makes for cheap comedy, but the internet has become a poor excuse for manners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Ono Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 What about the poor staff who failed to inform of the scratch?Im guessing there will be wage deductions till someone owns up to it.Come on someone must be responsible,and with the mood I sense on trade me it wont be a happy place. I did buy something small from them and it was a ok deal but I did have to remind them to dispatch the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't normally wade on an auction with a "question" but I'm in the service industry and I also go to great lengths to ensure my TM auctions are totally transparent. After all we buy off TM with a large amount of faith. The clown who listed the speakers in the auction in question, with his attitude laid bare, totally goes against all my principles as a TM user (buyer and occasional seller), and in my own day job in the service industry. So thank god we can ask questions (and make observations!) on TM in a public forum type setting otherwise TM wouldn't "work". How else would losers like this be exposed?

Some of these dicks need to get a life Would the eventual buyer have been better served if the no-intention-of-bidding commenter didn't expose the scratch? No. It would have been a pain is a** to sort out at or after the physical exchange. So in this case the national pass time was a good thing. I've seen it in other auctions as well. But as Ernie puts it, it is often just a form of heckling. But it is a national pass time, so sellers expecting a 'pure' exchange are dreaming and need to moderate their responses accordingly. Having a hissy fit does not look good. One of those facts-of-life things (sadly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross F Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Scratch or no scratch, the successful bidder got a real bargain on a humingous pair of speakers ("strictly for bachelors" - Phil McIsaac) Hope he realises how big they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mate kept his partner dangling for nine years - but she finally wore him down. I think "commitment" came in there somewhere OTOH if it came down to "the gear" or "the ring" it would probably be no contest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to most of them them, I am sure, audio forums are full of idiots who would rather hang out and "talk" with [mostly] strangers rather than deep and meaningful living channelness with their partners.
