Yes agree, lots of wankers on Gumtree and fb, not to mention scammers. I just ignore them

I just couldn’t be bothered, don’t enjoy the “thrill of the chase” like some seem too. Each to their own, some people enjoy that whole bartering thing. Good luck to them.
Once when I had unexpected interstate visitors I went to a furniture store that prides its self on “haggling” as they had those fold out beds on sale. Walked in, the price on them was $100 more than the ad. I went to walk out when the sales guy asked if I needed help. I asked why the beds were more than advertised, he looked at me with a smile and said “ohh you are new to this, we have to haggle”. I replied.. make the price what you advertised and I’ll take two.
Condescendingly he says “you still don’t get it, let’s start at $10 under the ticket price” I gave him a 5 second stare, turned and walked out. As I was walking out I overheard him saying to his colleague “this guy doesn’t get it”…
I'm pretty sure that is against some consumer law, in Woolworths if the price scans higher than the shelf price you get it for free.
Instead of selling 2 beds he sold none, and out of principle I’ll never consider shopping there again. The old bait and switch. If they managed to haggle you to a price above the advertised price how does that work? I’m not there for an “experience “ I’m there to buy beds, I don’t care about all the other stuff.
Anyway, caveat emptor. YMMV.
Ok, that's just dumb, the salesman is a tool. I used to sell new homes. You gotta read the room.
Yeah I had cash in my hand, just take it and point me to the boxes. That’s the extent of the transaction.
I’ve tried to sell a few other things on gumtree but there seems to be quite a few people lowballing so they can flip things for a profit.
Hope your car is on one of these next ships.
They are beautiful cars.
It's stealth grey, tried to talk the wife into it, but she is dead set on the black with white. I do like the stealth grey.

$16,000 2014 dollars were worth a fair bit more than $16,000 2024 dollars.I mean, that's close to what he would have paid to buy the car 10 years ago.

I didn't believe you, but....
Wow. That's crazy. You could buy a Camry for less in 2020.
I know right, my brother in law was buying them for work cars. But he lost his cool when he went to replace them earlier this year. He switched over to the MG3 at $17990. They are close to half the price, with I think a 7 year warranty. I know Toyota have a reputation for reliability, but seriously, $33000 for their entry model car.
I was wondering when I might have received my car which had an EDD of Mar-Apr before switching to inventory stock and I see they have my exact order config in inventory so I guess they would have delivered within the EDD.
Sorry I should have been clearer. I’ve already got my car - collected 2 weeks ago after switching to inventory and upgrading to 19” wheels (although it’s currently at the body shop getting the paint defect fixed). I was more curious when I might have received my car had I not changed to inventory and whether they would have met the EDD, which based on current inventory listings appears they would have.

Now waiting off Caloundra to head to port on Monday.
Yeah I thought I had read that you had taken delivery so I was a bit confused, sorry about that.
Generally they do meet the EDD, they are pretty keen to get cars allocated and delivered.
