My days are now selling. I practically live on marketplace on Facebook now. But I have to tell you,... some of these people are scammers. I nearly got scammed yesterday. I am selling posters. Five dollars each. Some guy (which I later saw lived in Manitoba but at this point I didn't know that) He said can I have the posters and pick them up next week. i said I would be gone next week (as I just want them gone asap) and he said ok tomorrow. I said that was fine. Now he wanted my email so he could e-transfer me % dollars (Yes, I had to fight with him to say its 5 dollars each!!!!) I tried the e-transfer pop up on the text to process the etransfer. But it just spun a circle and wouldn't finish the process. He was getting very insistant to keep trying. Considering this was 5 dollar posters I was getting that feeling that your being scammed. He was way too pushy for posters. THATS when i read his profile and learned he isn't even in Ontario. He was trying to scam me. WARNING: I have never had to click on a link on someone elses text before to process an e-transfer. It ALWAYS comes as an email. But becasue I was busy and in pain I didn't quite catch on at first. he made me do it 3 times before I wrote back that I saw he was in Manitoba and how the hell were you going to pick up posters in ONTARIO tomorrow???? He left the message and I never heard from him again. It was a scam,... lesson learned. E-transfers are not sent through texts (are they???? anyone know?)
The second scammer coincidently wanted the same posters. I think they look for something of small value. Un der $10. He just strun g me along to the point I thought it was Tonya playing games with me. First,... I can't medically drive can you mail it? NO Can you deliver it? NO OK, I can get it. i will be there at 8. At 9 he showed up (too late as far as I am concerned) And as soon as he was in the parking lot suddenly he only had a $50 - do I have change? I know this scam,... they confuse youn with the change until they take back more without you even knowing it. Classic scam. So I said "I paid over $200 to have this canvas made - why not just give me $50?) He never answered and never rang to come up. It was a scam. NOONE comes to your door after 9 o'clock at night unless they are up to something, When I asked why he left,... he didn't even answer.
But the rest of the day went well. I sold another hundred dollars so I can send a couple more boxes to BC through the post. I do realize there is a strike looming but I don't care. They don't need to get there immediately. Even if it's 6 months,... I will eventually get them. But I have to race to the post office now to get the 2 more boxes in BEFORE they announce the strike. As long as they are not in my livingroom, I don't have to worry about them. The weather is overcast today and my pain is too high for walking so it won't be today. Hopefully tomorrow I can get them out.
The people here are just proving to me how flaky and selfish they all are. I was in the gazebo yesterday and just looking around it hit me what flakes these people all are. I have 6 people who said they would pay me for stuff they took - now they can't be found. I knew this would happen. I wasn't expecting money from them. But they have proved my point that they will take but never intend to pay. I remember just thinking where have I been living the last 8 years?? And I was now ecstatic that I have gotten out. These people live for themselves and themselves only,.... I have never met such a sorry bunch of gossips and lyers and flakes in my life.
but no worries,... 10 days and counting and I am out of here.
