Hi, since I'm in LYN as a member I often see ppl love to flame when a seller put high price in their <WTS> thread.

I've also kena many times from this nonsense.

Is this the way to spoil a person's sales?

There are some who tell it in a very nice & polite way. I respect them

Example of a good way of telling:
But some people don't think at all & just start to flame for no reason

Example of those who flame without reason:
Can you buy Nokia 6280 for RM150?

Is it a fault to put a high price? If a person feels the price is high, he should just ignore that thread.....after some time, when there's no response at all, the seller will realise that the price is not appropriate.
Or the person should just tell it in a nice & polite way so that it will not affect the sales.

Anyone agree with this? Or anyone would like to oppose my statement? Let's discuss it here (politely)

Or anyone have same experience? Share them here

Mod : Please let me know if this is sensitive or not appropriate so that I can edit the post or close the thread. Thanks

Another person detected, offering RM600 for o2 mini

Another one, said N80 new set is selling only for RM1150
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/398792

Another, offering RM100 for Zitron N93
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/397496
Even if it's typo error (miss out a '0'), it's still far way to go with actual reasonable price.

Personally, I think by creating this thread here in Kopitiam, you're asking to be flamed, no matter how pure your intentions are. Well, all the best.

no its not, so is the flow of information.
i find the feedback from other forumers very useful and i hope people continue to do so.

People flame just because they can. It's the Internet, what did you expect? Civilised and orderly discussions?

Thread moved from Kopitiam to Trade Zone Helpdesk & Dispute Resolution Corner

Indeed, some love to offer ridiculous price. However, I choose to ignore them or I just simply reply 'No'

actually it has nothing to do with flaming, see this thread:

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=399862&hl=

i really like the feedbacks in that thread, they are not flames but useful info.

Continue to do what? Feedback is IMPORTANT but shouldn't it be in a proper way & polite enough to make sure the the thread is clean?

Which 1 do you think is useful info? Note : I'm talking about the appropriate way to give comments/feedback.....So, what do you think is right?

Their flaming need to be advised or offer them to advise a good way to run the thread...

yes thats right, if you find otherwise, hit the "report" button or just ignore the post, thats the best you can do, you cant prevent people from commenting.

I'm not whinning, just trying to make this a guide for those who accidentally like to flame & spoil ppl's thread

Anyway, this is just a discussion & we are giving out our opinion....

But by ignoring it, wouldn't it give a negative impact on the sales? What do you think?

in fact i find all the feedback in your thread very useful:
http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=399862&hl=

they look appropriate/right to me.

Most of HKVOON's post has been edited back (deleted) by him, but then you can still get the clear pic if you read it thoroughly. I've already pasted 2 posts from that thread as examples.

Sorry, I still couldn't get what is appropriate when a person says to you, "plp never think b4 then post a tread here..." (extract)

yes it will give -ve impact, but if the price is reasonable and your product is still in great condition the sales can withstand the impact.

haha, ok HKVOON's posts look like flame, you should have hit the "report" button, yes i agree thats crossed the border already.

Ok here's my 2nd advise.

you need to seperate out personal emotions in business. There's nothing fair in business, it's just business. People will get upset from time to time and you'll encounter it. Being goody and polite all the time only exist in fantasy world and is a rarity today. By default people are polite but it is also alright when they get rude because that is normal in any business transaction.

Here's the summ of what im trying to say

"welcome to the real world"

Get what i'm saying?

Im already at the real world & I have my very own way to handle such situation.
I just wana give a message to those who are giving out ridiculous prices, flaming for no reason etc.
Go to shop & ask for W800i & W810i for RM50.....is that reasonable?
or go & ask for N70 used set for RM700......how will it be?

Now I should tell you, "welcome to the real world"

Anyway, this is just a discussion. Thanks for your point of view

I understand how you feel my friend. Some people just know how to 'kau kau chan, mou pong chan', it doesn't look more like a feedback to me but more like hijacking someone's sales thread especially when their so called feedback sounded more like making fun of your sales thread or insulting you and worst of all, the person isn't even interested to buy from you. We definitely don't need anyone to review all the sales thread here, I feel that interested parties should only reply to the sales thread. Pricing is not an issue here, if the price is high, just PM the seller and nego with him or her, it works everytime for me than to make sarcastic remarks in the seller's thread. That's what I feel, we have this problem here, I don't encounter such problems in other forums so I guess some forumers should grow up and respect each other in a civillized way.

IMO feedbacks should be done via PM. not on thread.

what should be done on thread would be to voice out suspicion.

the thing about LYN forummers is that over-pricing is not acceptable, which is ridiculous.

as unknown warrior said "welcome to the real world" - it the real world, there's nothing wrong to overprice (ok well this depends on good la. please use some brain when reading.)

for example, i could mark-up some goods by 10%. big deal, it's my business. don't like, don't buy, walk away.

unfortunately the attitude i come by about LYN forummers is that people MUST price it the way they see it, even if they're not interested.

if anyone's concerned about the pricing, just send the seller a PM. what price the seller put is up to him. anyone who's willing to pay, that's the seller's benefit. after all, it's a willing buyer, not a CON.

haha. yes, LYN forummers are hard to please. you price too high, you're a CON!!! you price too low, you're a CON too!!! so you must price according to what THEY think is right - even if they have no intention to buy.

(perhaps these people should learn to take a look at eBay)

Just a note, that RM50 post is irrelevant because the poster and the seller are friends.
