classifieds nonsense 

Bid 30 EUR on a pile of 6 second-hand board games that all frequently sell on classifieds for 5-10 EUR each. Got a response "no, I want 70 EUR for those". Looked at profile; "commercial seller".

Should've seen this coming, I guess...

I should see if my "hide commercial spam from the classifieds site" browser plugin also supports just hiding every single commercial seller, probably

Honestly I don't really understand commercial sellers who sell on these classified sites. Surely this can't actually be sufficiently profitable to make a living, with all the interaction required and no way to automate any of it?

re: classifieds nonsense (3) 

@joepie91 There are more than one commercial sellers on local classifieds that, when you enquire on something, they say "Go to this antique shop, it's in booth XY"... like, if I wanted to go antique shopping I'd go antique shopping in the antique shop, not the local classifieds.

@rallias For the same reason I don't understand why this site (Marktplaats) is so insufferable with all the commercial ads.

Like, if I wanted overpriced dropshipped e-waste I'd just go to Bol.com or Amazon or whatever, I'm here because I want to buy stuff people no longer need!

@joepie91 Speaking of e-waste, I need to find a long stick so I can thwack my lightswitch while I'm still in bed.
