Do you not understand how this works?

Dude... my ad says "trade for Iphone5 or Note 2". It says TRADE. You're asking for to sell it straight up. Fine, but make me a good offer because a) I don't NEED to sell it and b) I'd really like to get the things I've listed. (I got an Iphone5 last week in the same trade). Also, when I ask what your offer is, you don't counter with "what's the least you'll take". I'd have a price already listed if I were really trying to just sell it.

Also, a word of advice - mention WTF you're trying to buy when the conversation starts.

+1405600: What about cash 1:38 AM
Me: what about it 1:39 AM
+1405600: How much would u take 1:39 AM
Me: for? you need to be more specific. 1:40 AM
+1405600: The s3 1:40 AM
Me: I guess that depends how much. I am looking mainly for a trade of the listed items. 1:42 AM
+1405600: Well cause I'm looking for a phone so I can turn my iPhone into A back up 1:43 AM
Me: not sure how that applies to me wanting a trade 1:44 AM
+1405600: Means I'm wanting to just straight out buy it 1:44 AM
Me: So what is your offer then? That's more relevant. 1:45 AM
+1405600: Well what would u take 1:46 AM
Me: Our conversation is done, im sorry you aren't understanding how this works. 1:46 AM

Comprehension...it's not in today

This genius forgot to read my ad. When he said he had, he got upset that I was being rude to him. My ad CLEARLY states if you don't like the price, don't bother contacting me. Obviously he skipped over that.

+14057082543: I have a Samsung infuse I am trying to sale. I have a had a case on it since I got it, and I also have a spare battery for it. 9:55 AM
Me: Okay 9:56 AM
+14057082543: Would you want to buy it? 9:56 AM
Me: Sure, I believe its on the list 9:57 AM
+14057082543: How much do you normally pay for them? 9:58 AM
Me: 50 to 75 depending on condition 9:59 AM
+14057082543: They go for 125 on Cl. Thanks though. 9:59 AM
Me: They WANT 125, no one actually pays that. It's 4 generations old. If I can get a skyrocket for $150, why would someone pay $125 for a single core that can't run ICS? 10:00 AM
Me: Also, the price was in my ad, did you forget to read it? 10:00 AM
+14057082543: I read your ad. No reason to be rude or get defensive. 10:06 AM
Me: You act like my price is surprising, but it's clearly stated in the ad. It's rude to toss a price at me when it's clearly stated. 10:06 AM
+14057082543: Just delete my number if you have a problem with the price I'm asking. 10:07 AM
Me: I clearly stated the prices were firm. Also clearly stated if you didn't like it, don't contact me. Guess you forgot to comprehend that. 10:07 AM
