Then every offer was like this screenshot. I gave up and now I environmentally recycle perfectly good gear that someone could have enjoyed.
didn’t leave my goods up for a week and only get shitty bids. I stopped posting when the first bid on day one was insulting
Were you lying then or were you lying now?
Correct the low ballers don't come up they are pure time wasters
The funny thing is that you think everyone else is the problem when zero legit offers means its virtually certain your asking price was nonsense.
People with used obsolete goods often have expectations of value pegged to what they originally paid for it rather than what it’s worth.
Search your own or similar good on markets to see what other people are paying for similar or better goods.
Is Amazon selling something for 20 similar to what you paid 50 for 5 years ago? Shipped to your door tomorrow for free? Well then nobody is driving an hour out to your place next Tues to pay you 25.
Why wouldn't they when it works
None of this makes you any less of an asshole
This is bullshit logic. In the last 40 years the government has served the interests of the few and half the time is literally elected by the minority that would have lost the election in most democracies.
Also actions are a moral reflection on you alone not the victims
The majority of shoplifting is organized effort to sell shit online or to fund a drug habit. Why because only a drug addict will spend more hours stealing than you do working and he will by himself steal more than 40 casual thieves because he's motivated
This just isn't true because mugging and pick pocketing are different crimes done in different circumstances. People who are willing to risk a small amount of non violent risk don't just accept a much larger risk in crowded circumstances where they are unlikely to get away with it.
Instead they are likely to commit other crimes or the same in more amenable circumstances. Criminals have bad risk assessment not none
Prove it. Police response time for non-emergancy issues could easily be 30+ minutes after which i would have moved on. Also investigatory resources for cases that aren't gift wrapped or murders are about nil.
Civil cases for any meaningful non-small claims affair are going to start at 5000-10,000 and are basically unavailable for poor people. You aren't entitled to a free lawyer.
Small claims is going to be for actual damages which are going to be about nil and are going to get you near no money and 15 minutes of fame.
Here is what actually happens. Thief endures a small amount of pain and humiliation and fucks off.
The actual risk isn't a hypothetical lawsuit it's that it leads to a fight where you might be injured.
Why are you conflating theivery with gypsies? Racist much?
The thief would have to prove that they were harmed by a particular person. Meanwhile such attacks are in public places people are moving through hit and run style. Police response times are long on non-emergency issues and the last thing the thief wants is police contact.
A: The thief doesn't call the cops B: If the thief does call the cops the person is gone, C: If they follow you are being followed by someone who tried to harm you pepper spray them D: the police do not meaningfully investigate the thief's claims if they are alone E: if both parties are present the police don't care about petty crimes they didn't see and therefore can't prove so let everyone go F: If you got harmed reaching into someone's purse they are liable to prosecute the thief not the victim if anyone especially if they admit they had their hand in your purse G: if the thief does try to sue its in small claims court for actual damages which are small and creates a record of their identity allowing you to popularize their face and identity in the local area as the thief who sued his victim. Seriously start putting up posters with their face around the area. Loss of illicit revenue will be higher than gains. Hopefully they also get stomped later.
Since all of these things are implicitly obvious and most importantly the first rule being a hood is avoid police contact we basically normally always stop at 1.
