Lol wow I have never got any THAT bad!! Hahaha oh man what do you even reply to that?
I'm pretty civil when it comes to email etiquette. So here's my replies in red.
1) "Hi Gary, I'm liking what I see on gumtree and see that it comes with a bag and includes the amp as well. Can you include a stand and maybe a pedal for that price? If you can then we have a deal." (The sale on gumtree lists the sale as it is, nothing more, nothing less, thanks for the interest though - G)
2) "i have sum items that i'd like to trade for your item, (i think that this is a generic email, but anyway). toaster, snakwitcher, blender and a webber braai": (yeah I'm itching to give you a call) (As I already have all of those items that you listed for trade I'd have to decline, thanks for the interest and the offer though)
3) "do you still have the guitar? i'm prepared to go to R1000 as gio's are not worth that much and are basically junk anyway"(If it's Junk why do you want it?)
4) "what else comes with the guitar, bag and amp?" ( A bloody rolls royce if you pay for it!!!!!) (nothing else, what is listed is what you get)
And the best one so far is...............
5) "my mother is buying this for me and wants to hear me play it before she buys it, can you please bring it to Edenvale so she can decide?" (Yeah and what if you suck and she says hell no and I have to drive to JHB for nothing..................lol) (You're more than welcome to bring your concerned mother to my place in Pretoria where you can demo the gear and she can then decide if she wants to buy it for you, but as the buyer, it's kind of expected for you to come to me, not vice versa.)
