Folks

I always call a potential buyer before they come … there is some FB scam where 
people want you to give them some goodie code which maybe lets them hack your 
Google email or maybe Google number …. You can tell a lot about a potential 
buyer in a two minute phone conversation

I only eat there is there is absolutely nothing else available and only if an 
emergency. That has not happened in years. I used to be able to get a grilled 
chicken salad there. Not anymore, they got rid of it. Wendy’s has some good 
salads though.

 Does everybody have a local Facebook page? The one for Winchendon is full 
 of the dumbest people I've ever seen. During our recent major snowstorm 
 power was knocked out for pretty much the whole town. People were outraged 
 that McDonalds wasn't open, what were they going to eat?
 
 I suggested that most of them would do well to skip a few meals. Somehow

Yeah, I was a fan for years until he went on Johnny Carson and ranted about 
politics instead of doing standup.

I’m wondering if he had some sort of issue with mental health that caused it. 
He went from being a very astute observer of the human condition to an angry 
old man that lashed out.

I think I have posted this before, but here goes.

If you are of reasonable intelligence, of the next 100 people you meet,

and the remaining 90 will appear to be dumber than doorknobs.


Not sure my numbers are accurate, but you get the idea.

Re: [MBZ] Fakebook

2023-03-17 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
It also, for some reason, allows them to think they're smarter than they are. 
This is the Dunning-Kruger effect in action, the dumb people are completely 
unaware how dumb they are.

I also find that the older people think they're smart just because they're old. 
"Well I have experience." they'll say, my reply is often "You write like a 5th 
grader who is in the remedial class..."

Re: [MBZ] Fakebook

2023-03-17 Thread Curt Raymond via Mercedes
It's hard to disagree. In reality though I think dumbness has always been the 
standard, it's just a lot easier to see/experience more dumb people per day now 
than it was in the past.

Does everybody have a local Facebook page? The one for Winchendon is full of 
the dumbest people I've ever seen. During our recent major snowstorm power was 
knocked out for pretty much the whole town. People were outraged that McDonalds 
wasn't open, what were they going to eat?

I suggested that most of them would do well to skip a few meals. Somehow that 
didn't land me in Facebook jail...

Exactly, and the same on Mercedes wheels as well. However, trying to get them 
to look it up or send a picture is often the challenge. More often than not 
they think you can tell what they are by describing the car they came off of or 
just the tire size and rim diameter, which may not even be the car they were 
originally built with.

Grr.

The very best thing about VW wheels is that the size and offset are stamped 
(well probably cast) on the inside of every wheel. Usually people include a 
picture of it but if not you can usually direct a potential seller to it. If I 
can't get a seller to figure that out I figure the wheels are probably ruined 
anyway...

You should try buying wheels!

If you’re lucky people are smart enough to put the size, but rarely, if ever, 
the offset. Trying to get the offset from someone who barely knows what a wheel 
is can be trying at best.

I’m trying to find a set of 18” staggered “sport” wheels for the CL600, and 
it’s to the point where I’m just about ready to toss in the towel and just buy 
a set on eBay from a seller who knows what they’ve got.

Subject: [MBZ] Fakebook flake

I’ve been pinging this guy for a week or so, maybe more. This morning I sent 
him a msg when can I look at the car. He actually responds right away “anytime” 
so I say how about tomorrow, where and when. No response…. WTF is with these 
clowns?

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/585800446576578/

I’d offer $1800 maybe go to $2k if the car looks decent, understanding no way 
to check it out without a key.  It doesn’t look too bad but who knows without 
putting eyes on it.  I wonder what the story is with it. Repo?

Roll of the dice… a key is probably $500 from the stealer.

No, it’s not. Ghosting or simply not responding seems to be the norm.

There’s a post for a car I was thinking about looking at that went up last 
Thursday or Friday. I messaged the seller that day. I just got a response 
yesterday.

Happens all the time to me. Makes me crazy.

People are absolutely nuts. People are paying insane prices for 123’s which 
millions of them were made. Several years ago I crushed many cars that would

I'm surprised you don't require $3500 before move in.

Out here it is typical to charge first month's rent, last month's rent,
and a damage deposit. In your case, that would be $5250.

Re: [MBZ] fakebook morons

Pretty typical FB behavior. When I’ve posted cars for sale or other things, I 
would venture that easily 75% of the PMs I get are just the canned “Is this 
still available?” with no response when I reply. I don’t get it. I’ve tried 
putting a disclaimer in ads about not responding to these generic PMs, which I 
don’t any longer, but it doesn’t seem to make a difference.

Check your maths, too. If you want first month’s rent and a month’s damage 
deposit, it’s $3500.

deposit.  Amount due before move in would be $3k. Yesterday somebody

It is so frustrating dealing with people on there about cars. Sent a message to 
a guy about a car I want to buy. Ad is horrible and the car I’m interested in 
is mixed in with a generic ad with several different cars in it. I ask him a 
couple of questions and he answers vaguely then gives me his number to call 
him. I try calling and number says it’s not accepting calls. I message him 
again and say I want to come Sunday. He says OK and to call him. Sunday rolls 
around I call him and same thing. Send him a message saying his phone is not 
working and give him my number. He has read the message but no response. 
Message him again saying I can be there Friday. Still no response.

On another car, sent the seller a message. They have read it but no response 
from them either. Amazing.
