Put an almost new GP5000 tyre (£38 new) on at the weekend for £20 on the basis that I wanted to offer it to members of my cycling club before putting it on ebay. I'm not out to try and rip anyone off and I have a pretty good nose for what stuff sells for.
Got a message saying 'Will you take £10 and I'll take it off your hands today?'. So basically this thing that's already an absolute bargain and you STILL want to offer me HALF the asking price??? oh but OK, well I suppose it is taking up a lot of room being a fucking foldable bike tyre and to get rid of it today would really help me out...WTF!!!!!
I take shit like this too personally. Blocked the twat; put the tyre on ebay for a slightly higher price to allow for fees and sold it inside an hour!
