I'm sure those of you who occasionally sell a game have encountered an odd potential buyer.
I've encountered a few myself.
Yesterday I got a call from a guy about some games I listed in the trading journal. First off, he says he has no cash. Fine, I am willing to hear trade offers. He keeps saying "maybe we can work something out, you know?" I thought that was kind of odd, but okay. Then he pulls the usual 'maybe we can do a payment plan'. Yeah buddy, I'm gonna give you my game and expect you to make payments. Riiiigggghhhhttt.
Then it went back to the "maybe we can work something out" bullshit. He then maybe we can trade...but didn't offer anything. I kept trying to tell him to OFFER something in trade, but he wouldn't. WTF? Was I being indirectly propositioned for drugs or something? Did someone sneak my phone number to Phet? What gives?
I have another interesting one from email last week too. I'll refer to her as the 'charity case' buyer. She really went around the horn though. That story to follow when time permits. In the meantime, some of you post your oddball buyer stories. Maybe we can compile a list of generic names for them.
