...on people who take up my time with b-shit...
Ok, I have bought a new car, as you know. So, I have had my old car out for sale for a month now. Its a great car and I love it. I put a price that is a good price and I have checked the internet to see that its ok.
Still I get e-mails from men every day now with frases like: I like your nice car...BUT unfortunately you have the price wrong...
Oh, its so wrong price... bla bla bla...other sellers are much cheaper... etc etc...and with a tone like I am totally stupid! But still they all say that there arent many cars like mine out on sale now.
Listen to this I got tonight:
Hi Anette,
I am running a car sales mediation and I have a customer who is looking for exactly the kinda car you are selling. You are unfortunately in the wrong price (more than a car company with guarantees).
And another guy sent me 6 emails yesterday just telling me that my car is to expensive for him.... 6 times!!!! WHY do someone take all the time to do something like that??? Why cant he just go after the car in the price range he has money for???
I get so angry!! I answer them: who are you to say that it´s the wrong price??? Isn´t it up to the person selling the item to set the price? I also enclose other adds of the exact same car but some other seller which is so much more expensive to show that I am not stupid, I have checked things..
I know that everyone tries to get the best price of things...but really, do they really think I will sell the car sooooo much cheaper to them just because they say I am in the wrong price range?
No, I am sorry...I wont sell it until the right person comes along that know and value the car...
Sorry, but I just had to blow off some steam before sleep...
Now, good night;=)

I agree with you Anette, really.
ReplyDeleteGood night, see you tomorrow !
What idiots. I dont know anything about cars, but it seems you've looked into it and you know how much you should be selling it for. Guess people are just trying to rip you off.
ReplyDeleteWell good luck on selling the car.
All my love and support.
Love Kellie xxx
I guess people always try to piss sellers off so they can get a cheaper price, it's human nature to think only for yourself, unfortunately :/
ReplyDeletebut well, I hope you will find someone :)
good night and sleep well :)
xxxx
I agree, that is so stupid!
ReplyDeletePeople will try to pull anything over
someone now a days.
If it's your car, do what you want with it,
because someone will eventually
buy it knowing it's true value.
And anyway, if your price is soooo expensive,
why do they bother with you
and why don't they just keep looking?
Why waste time to correct you anyway???
They think they can pull one over on you,
but if you know your facts
then they'll have no luck doing that.
And 6 times! Doesn't he think that's over doing it?!? That's ridiculous.
People are just ignorant and cheap apparently.
Well, venting always helps, so hopefully you'll sleep well.
And I wanted to ask you again if you can
take a look at my Sunday blog at
enchantedlullaby.blogspot.com
And leave me a comment about it, to me this
is really important...
Hugs and love and good night, Katie T.
Sounds a little sexist to me. Can they tell by your ad or email that you are a female? Some men tend to think women know NOTHING about cars and feel free to take advantage. I'm not a man-hater at all, but I have experienced this when I worked in a garage. They see a woman behind the counter and all of a sudden they are all mechanics and car experts...Stick to your guns!
ReplyDeleteJust because the car has passed by your hands he is invaluable. Certainly you should be asking a fair price. What happens is that usually people try to take advantage in business. With a little patience and persistence you will find someone interested in the car with the price you are asking. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteSorry for my english,
greetings from brazil
Hi Anette, don't care about him! It's an idiot person! Good luck for you car! Good night and take care! Hugs
ReplyDeletehi Anette
ReplyDeletesweet dreams, good night!!=)
Argh.. That's so annoying.. Just tell'em what you think, that'll shut them up I hope. Some people allways think they can use others =[ I think it's pathetic to do that..
ReplyDeletexx,
Nouky
Sorry Anette, but I really laugh! HSUAHSAHSUAHSUAA
ReplyDeleteI´d like to see you angry because of that! :P
But well, wait for the right person! I´m sure it´ll be a person that is not stupid enough to send you this kind of message! ;)
Good lucky!
Love ya! (L)
Many kisses!
That's really really annoying, but by experience I tell you they are saying that to bother you to the point of lowering your car's price just to make them stop bothering you.
ReplyDeleteI may suggest to add a note to wherever you've announced your car that you will not reduce the price and just ignore the people who keep on telling that, don't give up and sell your car at whatever price you want (hope that's soon)
Sleep well and Take care!! =)
Don't care about those kind of people. I don't know if the reason for all that negative stuff is the fact that a woman is selling the car.
ReplyDeleteThis is what I have experienced: My car needed to be fixed so I went to get it fixed and this guy there asked me what's wrong with my car. I told him what's wrong and I asked him to fix it but this guy just claimed that there's nothing wrong with my car and he wasn't keen of even checking out it.
Then, after a while, my friend (who is man, by the way) went to get my car fixed to the same place and that guy over there had no problem what-so-ever to fix it...
Oh send them to hell!(6)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a car yet but I suppose that's complicated to deal with sellers/buyers and also you have to be strict with them and check if everything is ok with the car...
See you later!
;)
Oh dear, don't get upset with these idiots.
ReplyDeleteThey always try to lower the price. The car is yours you put the price you want, if they don't wanna pay they go after another car, as ease as this ;)
Sleep tight
Lots of warm hugs
Don't be mad...sonn you'll find someone to buy it! If I could I would...
ReplyDeletekisses from Rj-Brazil!
i hate when people try to get things for cheaper. th price is what you want it to be and if that person dosnt buy it for tht price then someone alse will. good luck with selling your car. if i lived in sweden and had the money i would totaly but it from you.
ReplyDeletexxx shani.
6 times!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteWhat's him problem!?!?
The people in the world are very stupid!
Sleep Well dear Nettie :)
Hahaha ... that's funny but sad - maybe you should tell the next person who says you should change the price that you'll change it just for them ... HIGHER than what anyone else would have to pay ;) It's a lil mean ... but they'd get the picture fast enough :)
ReplyDeleteHope you vented enough to be having a nice night's sleep ... hope you're not dreaming about cars and nasty e-mails :S lol
- Suzy C. ♥
Hello again, Anette,
ReplyDeleteThat would piss me off, too if some idiot tried telling me the cars too pricey. You have EVERY right to sell the car for however much you decide, you are the owner of the vehicle and therefore, the decison of price is ultimatly up to you.
Keep firm with the price(I would)and don't drop it because this person or that person whines about it being too expensive. They just want to screw you over, and will if you allow them :)
I hope that you sleep well and that you wake up refreshed and happy in the morning,
Falyssa
It's incredible how people who want advantage of all things. Always have people who think they can find achieve thing from stupid ways (and i thinking it's only in Brazil). I do not know what is your car, and your price, but i doubt that you need to sell your car, for a wrong price, wanting take advantage for this. I belive that most of the offers you have received is due it's current reputation, people think everything should be delivered for free! What this people doing, is a form of pressure to make you sell your car at bargain price, you do not make this with your money, because him does not give in trees... Everything has your price, and these peoples think they can buy things easily and harm people. I wish much luck with your car, and I'm sure you will get a good price on him. Glad the conquest of their new car, here in Brazil this is a great merit, until why there is no brazilian who is not in love with cars. If i had financial power to buy your car, I will for any price, just to feel your perfume every day. I love you, and good luck with your sell.
ReplyDeletePS: and send this mother f** to hell
FELIPE
bah! Stupid guys, don't repare on them Anette, if u know u have the right price then that's the way it is, it's ok when u try to get a better price through a deal, but only like complaining just beacause, no, pointless!
ReplyDeletePlus, it's your x car I would pay much more just cause it's yours!! and then I'd show off :P
Eventually someone is gonna buy it, don't worry :)
Have great day!!!
You know, you could post up the links here from where to buy your old car? You never know. Someone may actually buy it from you :P
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think they're just trying to get you to lower the price so they can get a cheaper buy, hoping that you're an idiot. They picked the wrong person to try and negotiate with because I'm sure you did your research and know what price is acceptable.
Don't worry so much about people who suck like that. Just tell them not to contact you anymore if they don't like the price and advise them to look at something within their price range instead because you aren't budging.
Love ya Nettan :3
Nolla
Good Morning Anette,
ReplyDeleteyes these things can really bring you down sometimes, but try not to let these people get to you. I think they just try to get a bargain out of it, a better price for a car which they really want. I think that if it is a car they really want they should also pay the asking price. I recently bought a house I really wanted, perfect location, garden etc. and I paid more than I usually would, just because I wanted it so bad.
And if all else fails you could always publicly auction your car through e-bay and sell it to the highest bidder. Exploit the fact that it was YOUR car, I'm sure there are plenty of Nightwish fans who would want to buy your car. And everything that you earn that goes over your initial asking price could be donated to one of the charities you are supporting.
On the other hand, if you really want to sell the car to someone who loves the car for what it is not the fact that it was driven by YOU, then it is worth the wait for the one who recognises its value.
In the meantime, stop answerring mails of those morons, you only get yourself down and they don't care. If they stalk you, block their addresses.
Hope your day today will be without so much hassle as yesterday.
Hugs,
Katrin
Hej Anette!
ReplyDeleteUff, what boring people! Don't worry, you're right! You, know, I study Economy at school (and I really hate it) and I think that sometimes it's useful.. Just yesterday I studied how to check the right price for a car on sale.. and guess what? The rightest way is on the net! So Anette, YOU ARE RIGHT! YEAH!
My guess is that either that person has no life to be able to keep emailing you like that, or they don't know how to use email and hit the send button 6 times to make sure it went!
ReplyDeleteEither way, he's an idiot!
Anette,
ReplyDeleteyou really should try to get a thicker skin if things like this bother you. These people don't disrespect your intelligence, they just live from buying cars cheap.
Good luck and have a wonderful day
...you should sign it and then sell it ;).
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, it does get on my nerves how people always try to get the lowest alternative money-wise.
Don't give up ;) Someone will buy it for your price :D.
Best wishes Ryan.
They're probably a bunch of idiots! I mean, email a person just to say that the price is wrong? 6 times!??? Some people need to get a shrink ;).
ReplyDeleteYou are the owner of the car so, you can sell it for the price you want.
It's really annoying how people try to get advantage of things ... oh well ...
Hope you had a nice night of sleep =).
Enjoy your day,
Hugs <3
He is an idiot!They always want the lower price & bla bla bla...
ReplyDeleteYou are the owner so you decide the price! And do not listen to him , he is stupid! Not you.
It is not important what was said..it is mportant who said it to you!
Take Care &Good Luck ;)
Hugs
You stick to your guns girl and I am sure you will find someone who will pay the price you asked :=). It sounds like you didn't say on your ad 'or nearest offer.. or willing to negotiate' so they have no right to ask for a lower price. These men are hoping to pull the wool over your eyes. Who knows.. they may be wanting the car so they can then sell it at a higher price themselves and that is why they are pestering you, they may see it as a golden opportunity to make money themselves, but they reconned with the wrong lady!!!
ReplyDeletelove and respect

Hi everyone!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all the great comments. I do have thick skin, its not that...i dont get sad, I get pissed;=) And I mostly get pissed when people really do think they can treat me like I am stupid. Its disrespectful and thats what annoys me.
Enchanted lullaby: I have looked at your blog and commented it. Thanks so much for the beautiful congrats blog;=)
Hi there :)
ReplyDeleteOh never mind about these guys, i guess they have nothing to do in their life so they annoyed you ^^ i can understand how much that sucks but this is one of the "bad" part of celebrity, people who disturb you for shity things...
Well i hope you won't have a bad day cause of this, now take your bicycle, forget it and have fun today :)
Take care <3
Hej Anette!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it's so annoying when people try to take advantage of things and even want to make you look like you're stupid. But you're a very very smart woman, so just ignore them, and stick to the price you have decided for your car. You can put a note on the ad saying that you won't lower the price, and just ignore those who complain about it. If they want to waste their time, it's their problem, not yours! =)
Love and hugs,
Elisa
Oh, that seems like a pretty annoying situation, but don't worry. I'm sure someone will eventually buy your car with the price you asked for. Anyway, just like you said, everyone tries to make the best purchase in the cheapest way and also, this kind of decisions take quite a while to take. Those people are probably considering your option, but also have other possibilities so they just want you to lower the price so that they can decide easier. Or something.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's nice to see you not only share your joys and good vibes with us, but also the negative aspects in your life. I know we can't help you a lot just with these comments, but I know how it feels to share your problems with someone else and get their support, even if it is only in "written words". And we're always here to read them and empathize with you. :)
Hope you forget about the car sale stuff a bit and have a great day!
Det försöker antaglite pruta på ett dåligt sät. Spela på käsnlor. De vill antagligen ha bilen men vill inte betala summan och tar då till fula knep för att få dig att sälja den. Hade de tyckt att priset varit för högt hade de antagligen sagt det på ett trevlig sätt.
ReplyDeleteoooh...why some people are so stupid some times...???
ReplyDeleteyou are absolutely right...
Stupid people....:(
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll find someone to buy your car soon=)
Argh I can't stand these people! >=( If you don't want to buy the car, then don't react! Just mail when you want it! grrr...
ReplyDeleteANd yeah, then there are also those persons who think "hmmm, it is the right prize...I see it's a woman, nah she won't know anything about it, let's say to her it's the wrong prize, I'm sure she wil believe me, muahaha and then I get the car much cheaper, muahahaha >=D " Okay, that's the "very evil guy" :P waha, but there are persons like that...grrr..
Please don't let them influence your mood that much, it's hard but it's only a waste of time also for you :) And damn, 6 mails...losers...
I'm sure the right person will buy your car for the right prize :)
~Night*Star~
Arghhhh sometimes people is stupid!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why they must irratated other people.
Be quiet and don't be angry those stupid peple!
Fuck all, really!
Kiss, Miriam
yeah, right to blow off that)_ maybe they just try to make you pay your attention on them..that happens so often...
ReplyDeleteGood evening Anette!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear that You got upset with the car sales.. I know nothing about cars but I'm sure you put a good price for Your car. Unfortunately some people think they can get everything for pennies and will wonder WHY someone even bothers to put something for sale for a fair price??? It's crazy but.. there are people like that..
Their loss!
Six times? Wrong price? That's really bullshit :(
ReplyDeleteJust tell them: will you buy, yes or no? I don't wanna wast my precious time.
Don't let these kind of shit irritate you.
If I had money, I would gladly buy your car.
You know, Fábio bought Anette's car. Wooow. What a pleasure!
But I don't even have driver license, money and age to drive. I'm sorry.
Well, good luck, Anette!
Greetings from a fan from Brazil.
Take care.
Fábio
That sucks Anette! I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with that.
ReplyDeletePeople just don't want to pay a lot for anything I guess. Even if I buy a DVD set at $80 and try to sell it on Ebay after I've watched it and decide I don't want it anymore for $50 or $40, people probably still won't buy it, even though it's about half of what I paid for it, and basically new! It's frustrating! lol.
I hope it works out for you though :(
You shouldn't get angry for these people, really ;)
ReplyDeleteTell yourself you do what you want, you made the right choice, and fuck them all ;P
