members with no feedback?

The last time I had a potential Buyer with no A'gon feedback, he was local, & called me. I was selling a mint condition one mo. old TT. It was a weird conversation where he was asking some very odd questions, like, "what did I do for a living", he seemed very suspicious, like he thought even A'gon members with great feedback were selling fake items or something. Oh, & he also insisted that I deliver, & set up, the TT for him.

After about 10 minutes of this, I finally told him, he should go to a dealer, & buy a brand new one, if he wasn't comfortable buying used. Then he said, "oh, well maybe that means you're actually legitimate" (!!?).

Next day, I sold it to an A'gon member with good FB, happy transaction for both of us, no BS.

In addition to my encounter with the A'gon buyer w/no FB I posted above, I had another one on Fee-bay a few years ago.

Back when Fee-bay sellers didn't have to take paypal, & could offer money order, personal check, whatever, I listed an expensive item "BIN", clearly stated no paypal, cashier's check only. Of course someone with no FB, bought it, then started demanding to pay by paypal. No matter how many times I explained that I hadn't offered paypal, & that he shouldn't buy items unless he agreed to the terms, he didn't care, didn't get it, seemed incapable of understanding the concept. Then he wanted a local friend of his to come over to my "store", had assumed I had a B&M "store".

I read a FB given by a Seller on Fee-bay once about a troublesome Buyer: "Typical Newbie: Me, Me, Me, Me, Me....." Doesn't mean all Newbies are "bad" at all, but there's a possibility of being Totally Clueless....
