I am on a local buy/sell/trade FB group. The rules of the group say that you are to post “interested” in the actual post (and then “next” if you want to be next in line in case the deal falls through.) I posted an item yesterday and had over *50* people message me directly as opposed to posting. I actually started to wonder if there wasn’t some sort of scam type thing at work because so many used the exact same comment. I even changed the description to add that it was sold pending pick up, yet I’m still getting “is this availabie?” (Two more since I started typing this!)
Read the rules people!

I know that there is a feature where you can ask about an item on FB and one of the automated choices for me use is 'is this available". Im sure thats why you are getting so many identical responses. Doesn't change that they aren't following the rules though.

Any chance it also posted to the marketplace? I think the only way to communicate there is through messenger and it’s gives the option for quick responses like ‘is this still available?’
That being said, that does seem like a high number of responses.

Ugh. People have zero reading comprehension.

I think a lot of times they don't read and they're just excited to see the item at a good (sounds like it might be GREAT) price.

Doesn't change that they aren't following the rules though. Yes and once I even sent this by accident when I wanted to ask something else. To me it's not that big of a deal, though I did have to block someone who felt I should have sold HIM the snow tires rather than the person who got them. He got a little out of hand. |

My favorite is when I posted a comment on my item saying that it was pending pick up and some on responds TO THE COMMENT asking if the item was available. Seriously you can't make this shit up!
