We are fixing some things at home and one thing is to find new doors for 3 of our rooms. They are all to worn and broken so we are on the lookout for some better ones. White inner doors they call "mirror doors".
So, I have been searching a site where people sell everything and after some search I find a guy who sells a lot of construction material and stuff after he has built a new house. Among the things are some inner doors, just like the ones we need.
After some nice corresponding over email and after him measuring the doors, they match and we are so happy;=)
So then I ask him:
- How much do you want for them both?
since I dont have any clue what to pay and all the doors in that site are cheap, like 20 euros to 30 euros.
He then answers me:
- Place a good bid!
I ask Johan and after again checking some similar doors in that site and their prices, I see that appr. 20 euros/door would be ok.
I write to him and say:
- What do you think about 20 euros/door?
I get the answer:
- Then I say no thanks! These are not those "cheap" doors you can find, but solid and good ones!!
Well, how the hell can I know? And if they are so good and special ones, it would be better to put a price on them so I know directly. I can pay more but if someone says - place a bid! and I dont know more than what I can see others take for the same thing, I of course place that bid.
I thereafter again wrote to him and said that if he please could say what he want and that I didnt know e g...
But I am quite sure he wont answer and I really cant understand some people selling stuff like this. When I sell things I put a price and if I dont want to sell underneath the price I have written I say that and say no thanks to the ones trying to put the price down. But if I ever would say: place a bid! and someone said a low one, I would for sure let that person know I wanted more and let him or her place a higher bid if they still are interested.
Damn, I really wanted those doors;=) But well, there will be others...hehe!
Sleep well!

Good evening, Anette ;=)
ReplyDeleteSo, as you told us this guy seems to be a baaad seller ! So, he don't need to sell his fu**ing doors to you. How could you know that? You don't need such an unfair behaviour, cause you are a friendly woman.
And I am sure that you will find some better doors, without any problems !
So, I will open my eyes here and there for some doors you could like ;=)
Have a nice night & don't feel disturbed of him !
Hugs
Laura
I agree with you, if he really wants to sell it, he better put a minimum price. Or a minimum price with bids, like ebay. Hell, he could have even said "That's too cheap, what what about X euros?"
ReplyDeleteI doubt he will sell it soon like that.
God kväll käraste Nettan!
ReplyDeleteJag tror att det kan vara så här med dörrmannen: 1. Antingen har han ingen aning om vad han vill sälja dörrarna för eller
2, Så vill han kolla vad de är värda genom att be dig buda!
För några år sedan la jag ut en annons på eniro för en akustisk gitarr men hade då ett pris, tror jag skrev 250kr. Sedan fick jag en del positiva svar och insåg snabbt att den var nog värd liiiite mer (är ju trots allt tillverkad på 1940-talet & har väldigt fina pärlemordetaljer) så jag tog bort annonsen! Haha. Den är fortfarande inte såld..
Wow, that guy is strange! :D But I'm sure he just wants you to pay more, so I bet you'll hear from him soon.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight, sleep well <3
Well , Basically stiffed doors are a little bit more expensive especially if they are a good kind of wood like Beech or Mahogany or even Sweden white wood , If it's that kind of wood or so well , a 30 euros for a used one will be a good deal , I'm saying that from a personal experiment plus I'm an arch so you had to put a higher price , Yet it seems that he doesn't wanna sell it or he's just wasting time or he want an "overrated" price !!
ReplyDeleteWell we got a quote over here says" Not all of your fingers look the same " , Good luck with finding similar doors Anette :) Greetings from Egypt \,,/
Hi Anette have you ever though that he is a fan of yous and now he is reading what you wrote?L.O.L. He probably looks for some stupid people.

Good night cute Anette ;)
ReplyDeleteChoose a door to a more reasonable price, cause the luxury door and the broad road lead to perdition and there are many who enter.
But a more modest door and narrow path lead to life and there are few who find it. No door shall prevent happiness to enter :-))
Sending you lots of love from France,
Have a beautiful night dear Anette ♥
Big kisses & hugs

Yeah, I'm sure you'll find another ones. And that guy must not want to sell the doors for real, or he would name a higher price when you placed you bid... some crazy people...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Oh well, it's his loss!
ReplyDeleteHi Anette! yuo did remember that a door not close in my house because enlarged I don`t know why: s jaj, you know, I wanted to take your pleasure to tell you by Gaga, makes me so happy that you like Lady Gaga!. I am a big fan of her, not only for its great music, but also by fighting hard for the rights of everyone, including mine, here in Argentina, is a proven law of gay marriage, I think that is what most I am proud of this country, that, although having financial problems, respect my rights and I feel equal to anyone. My question is you think about the union and respect for gay rights? I would love to receive as well answer these for being such a beautiful person as you are, I can consider these for:) hugs! ^ _ ^ sorry for my bad english xD Te quiero, bonita!
ReplyDeleteI love it when people are like this, it's too obvious they want more money than they are worth.
ReplyDeleteI will now enjoy my weekend, after weeks of planning the last online live interview with Tuomas ended last night. We had 40 fans take part over 2 days. Tuomas was online for 4 hours answering questions. I put the transcripts of the site last night. Over 15 pages of questions. Wow
Have a great weekend
Hugs to the boys

Hi dear Anette,
ReplyDeleteYou know there are plenty of miserable guys who spend their time trying to rip us off: how many people have already found their gift and for sale on eBay two weeks after being offered? and rip-off is not just on the Internet!
To question as to what that person has in mind has no interest cause that person is poor / as poor as his life ^^
Leave it behind and move on to find what you are looking for with honest people, you'll recognize them.
When that fool will have no one to play with he will certainly get bored and there you can smile! :-)
You will find what you're looking for changing direction it's simple. So just do it! :)
Have a very nice weekend
Lots of love from France
and best thoughts ♥
Laurence
Good evening Anette:)
ReplyDeleteI don't exactly understand the motives of the person selling the doors either from what I'm reading here. He is obviously not to well schooled in selling. Like you say "others there will be" and with that in mind you should continue to shop around...and maybe you will find something even better than for less money.
take care, and exercise smart shopping!
lots of love,
Gary
Hello Anette. Do you know Polisch singer DODA? She sing 'Bad Girls' :)
ReplyDeleteHi dear Anette,
ReplyDeleteHope you are well;=)
Something very important about Internet scams I wanted to tell you: Sometimes we can look for rare films to buy so we can't find them neither in the biggest shops like FNAC, Virgin, etc, nor on their web sites, nor on PriceMinister, etc. So mostly we are forced to visit large online video libraries and it's not that great! These web sites force us to register or we can't watch anything... and there we are forced to leave our references mail, credit card that "will not be charged" ^^ For real there are miles of conditions written in small and so tiring that we can never read everything. Finally, as we are always careful with our statements of account ;)... we discover one day that the debits are set up! Obviously no one ever warns us and if we were not very careful we could have been taken long before opposition!! This is the latest scam I just discovered ;)
Have a great and sunny day princess and take care!
Best thoughts to you, all family and friends :)
Lots of Love
