I have a medical scooter for sale. My uncle has no use for
it anymore. It’s worth about 4 and a half Grand brand new. I put it up for $1500. There were a couple of
question emails but no takers. Then nobody was emailing. I slowly kept dropping
the price. I received a few more emails. Most of them were “I AM VERY INTERESTED
IN THIS SCOOTER- PLEASE CALL ME” or “WHEN
CAN I COME SEE IT”. I reply with my phone number and answer their questions
about every last detail. Nobody ever phones, no more emails. I put the scooter down to $1000 bucks. Some
guy emails me – “WHY IS THIS SO CHEAP- WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT”. I reply “nothing is wrong with it, it’s in
perfect shape – I just have no space for it and want to get rid of it”. He
never responds again.
This is a high end scooter not a cheepo, and it’s in like
new condition. People looking for a medical scooter will get the deal of a
lifetime. It’s like me buying a new car for $30,000 – using it for a few months
and selling it for $5,000. If you’re looking for that car, you would be an
idiot not to buy it. No scooters on kijiji even come close to this price and
quality.
It’s been months now – I put the stupid thing down to $500
bucks.
I get a few more question emails. One guy actually calls me
and sets up a time to look at it. 7 o’clock the next evening. Does he show up –
of course not.
I get an email from an old lady that says “MY HUSBAND IS IN
NEED OF A WHEELCHAIR SCOOTER, CAN YOU CALL ME”.
I call her up and say “HI, YOU EMAILED ABOUT THE SCOOTER”. She says “OH WE ARE LOOKING AT ANOTHER ONE
TODAY, CAN YOU CALL ME TOMORROW TO SEE IF WE STILL NEED IT”. I said sure. What I wanted to say was IM NOT CALLING YOU BACK GRAMMAW – QUIT WASTING
MY TIME.
If I get one more no show or annoying call –I’m going to
snap and let ‘em have it.
