I will preface by saying I've met a lot of PSers and am good friends with a lot of the older members from my early days. Most are wonderful, knowledgeable, and funny as hell. I have no problem taking more photos or videos in different lighting, and I have met people in person so they can view the pieces. That said, some PSers are pretty demanding and entitled, to the point of shocking. (almost all were people I don't know at all, but have made clear they are Pricescopers)
Here are some good ones I remember off the top of my head from LT emails. They are all from different people who made clear they were PSers:
"But I'm a PSer, don't I get a discount? What good is being a pricescope member if I can't get things cheaper?"
"Find me something just like the one you sold because you already sold it before I decided to email you! I don't care if you bought it years ago and it's an antique piece!"
"because you sold it already, I want you to custom make one exactly like it and sell it to me at a discount" "but I'd lose money?" "that's part of the business isn't it? why would you post it for sale if you can't make more?"
"I know I emailed you two weeks ago and never responded but I just decided to buy it. Why isn't it still available? Why didn't you hold it for me?" (because you never responded to my email)
"Why can't you take 60% off, you have other pieces and it's not like i'm asking you to give it to me for free. I'll leave you good feedback on Pricescope and you get free advertisement" (umm)
I've even received two emails saying I should sell them XYZ because they lost their baby recently and deserves to buy something that wasn't for sale. How do you even answer that? As someone who had a miscarriage, I was horrified that someone would use that to gain sympathy. If a non-vendor like myself has received such messages/emails, I can't even imagine what some sellers have encountered.
Yep. Shocking is right. I cannot believe some of the "offers" I've had from PS'ers on my LT listings.
