      “is it still available?”, " will you deliver?“, “can you ship it”, " will it work with my random thing”, " I see you put the entire manual in the post, but do you have the manual?", “I have to pay rent will you take 1 dollar instead of 500? Also can you deliver”, “I can get this for one dollar on AliExpress why don’t you just give it to me for free?”

        One story:

        I was selling a musical instrument. Someone asked me the question, “Is this a good beginner instrument?” Thinking it might be for a kid, I gave an exhaustive answer, then when I learned it was for her, an adult, I gave her my experience with instruments and my perspective. At the end she told me she was interested because her partner was a BAND LEADER and when she went to the concerts she was fascinated by this instrument. But here was she was, interrogating a random seller who didn´t even play the instrument in question. And, at the end, of course, she wasn´t interested in buying it.

        Or the every popular, “I’ll be there at 4PM to pick it up,” and then ghosting you.
