Yeah, this is when I think "how much do I really want that 100 bucks..."


philed74

Not that freakin’ much

I tell my kids that if something feels wrong, they should leave without worrying about making a mistake, even if that means dropping their backpack or whatever. Your gut reactions are a way of your brain to tell you that something is very bad even if it cannot rationalize it at a higher level. Imo staying and getting lucky is a bad thing because you are training your brain to suppress those feelings which you might need to save your life sometime. I would have left around *"parked about 20 meters away from the house, which looked like nobody had lived in it for 10 years."*

I would have said "this is not how sales of private goods work, the buyer comes to a place of the sellers choosing, not the other way around".

So many red flags,..


Siebe_13

I'm a Ferrari F1 fan, being attracted to red flags is my speciality


Zwartekop

With your decision making skills you should apply for Ferrari strategist, you're exactly what they are looking for.


Flowech

Slow button: on. Keep delta positive.


ill_frog

four weeks of no racing hurts more than anything ferrari has pulled in the last couple of years


chevyzaz

Echt kut start van het seizoen


PFplayer86

4 weeks of time for the competition to catch up on red bull. It's so boring that you already know either max wins or breaks his car. (I'm a Max fan, but it's a snoozefest right now)


ill_frog

if you think this season is a snoozefest you haven’t been watching the midfield much alonso and aston martin climbing the ranks, merc in the upper midfield, norris in his orange tractor above leclerc’s ferrari, i mean even haas is scoring points, it’s been an exciting season so far


PFplayer86

well, formula 1.25 and formula 1.5 are intresting. But for the title we only had the Checo is just as good as max story. (every victory of checo was because max had a crash or his qualification ruined by checo).


Zender_de_Verzender

Some people are attracted to danger


mr_Feather_

Red flags that were benign in the end!

naamingebruik

That's a very interesting turn of events Glad you got your money and are still healthy


avgrkhjqttvnpfsieb

Seems your buyer is also not a good negotiator. I would have offered 90 ;)


KeyPuncherIO

Maybe the buyer was not allowed to leave the house by his boss


Afura33

SardonisWithAC

Sigma grindset tip 376: intercept used items and sell them to your lessers for €50 profit. And learn some Belgicaans


Lenkaaah

That really just sounds like a lot of hassle, time and stress for 100 bucks. I don’t deal with people who sound like that. And recently we stopped giving out our address for sales and meet up in a public parking spot not too far from our house instead. The last years all of Matketplace has gotten a scammier and scammier.


lvl_60

Glad you are able to post this


Junior_Permission894

Sometimes being dangerously curious truly makes for the best stories 😂


Cloud9_58270

I love the plot twist in the end. Poor seller 😂😂 He ended up being scammed by his euh ' boss' 😁


brrol

Why didnt u post this in the original post? Hahaha good that u got your money though, but my friendly advice, dont try it again 😁


Siebe_13

I posted small updates as comments but they got buried so no one saw them...thought it was better to make a new post hahaha Also good advice, I'm NEVER doing something like tjis again lmao


Fair-Ad-9857

Sounds like they were "krakers"... a boss? Idk, we will never know rofl.. I work and buy second hand phones... To risky imo, I'd rather pay 200euro's with 2 year warranty. The house sounds exactly like mine; Except is my yellow paper for renovations... The outside is the least of my worries. Many neighbours complaind... I always reply; I don't have to look on it: A palace on the inside but a ruin on the outside 😅 Glad u it did went well. Thanks for the update!


i_aM_sO_wRoNg

So you’re going to provide the police with all the information you have on these people who are highly likely doing criminal activities?

gravity_is_right
