If you can't say anything nice.....

I prefer to browse the FB ads for road cases that give no interior or exterior dimensions and nothing in the picture framing that would give any indication of scale other than the size of the bubbles in the foam lining or the rivet heads. Also, I love to browse shoes with no size information.

Somebody on Kijiji keeps posting ads for his homemade guitar display cabinet. It’s bulky, heavy, not that attractive and he wants big $$ for it. He goes on about how awesome it is. The guy is so delusional someone should set him straight.

If he has to keep placing ads for this cabinet, I think the marketplace has set him straight.

Why?

Another pet peeve of mine is when you post an item on a Facebook group and someone chimes in with something negative or telling you it it overpriced. Dude STFU. I'm trying to sell here and I don't want your review.

Well, you know…

Sometimes the internet is just fine!

Now if this were a P-bass instead of a dog, I would bookmark this link.

If one fools with sh*t one gets in on them.

If you can't bring yourself to say anything nice....

...be sure to yell as loud as you possibly can on the internet. The louder and more obnoxious you are, the better.

Oh, wait

Haters gonna hate !!!

Facebook and Twitter are snake pits IMO.

Fortunately, the TB classifieds doesn’t allow negative comments or price discussions. It was a wise decision on the part of management.

Lest we forget Kijiji. Maybe it's just a Canada thing.

Pfff... This thread is much better on other sites.

Does not even come with an ice cream cone of choice.

On the flip side I have had guys that complimented my stuff like:
"Those are great!"
"That is a killer price!"
"I love those things!"
"I wish I lived closer or I'd be all over that deal."

I see ads where the prices are exhorbinant and the merchandise is crappy (IMHO). I do not make a negative comment because I know that 1) my opinion carries no weight 2) someone will love it an buy it regardless.

Now I need to see the cabinet. Link?

Here's a photo and a link to the ad. I don't know what he wants for it but a few months ago he was asking $2200.

Maybe if the guitars are included in the price.

Thanks…I think?

I've never done it, but there is a way to delete others' replies to your posts. In the reply simply click on the ellipses (...) then click on "Delete".

3 things I know about people that criticize others...
1. Sometimes they're right.
2. Typically they have problems getting all the facts out.

That's the thing - for the same money you could buy a guitar stand and several guitars.

I just keep thinking of the babble fish in Douglas Adam’s book Hithchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. If you inserted one in your ear it linked into your auditory nerve and brain stem and allowed you to immediately understand any spoken language in the universe. It was thought that with this breakthrough in communication the galaxy would enter into a new age of peace and understanding.

What actually happened was it lead to an age of the bloodiest interstellar conflicts in history. Because now it was possible for everyone to understand exactly what someone else was saying.

The Internet is a lot like that. It’s given voice to, and provided a global platform for, the best and worst humanity has to offer. And all for virtually no cost and at the speed of light.

I think they call that: ‘progress.’

Technology doesn't care who wields it and, it is a double edge sword. It magnifies our achievements as well as our folly. Our chimp way of doing things is what has created Babel.

In a way, the internet is like a city. People choose to hang out in the roughest part of town, or immerse themselves in news about the worst happenings in town, then lament how the city has gone to hell!
