that old chestnut

had a message from a potential customer

eb undercover

or genuine knot sure

but i notice they were listed in my stealth area so fair play to them

but i gave them a decent answer of why im unable to allow collections made, and they fully understood

i wondered what excuses folks make about not being able to allow a collection for obvious reasons, perhaps we could compile a top 5

1st time its happened to me so i was oh..ok

i get this quite often, its frustrating but i say i cannot allow collection due to work commitments...

I normally tell them that the stick isn't dispatched from the office address

I always say that I would be unable to arrange a collection time due to erratic work schedule and constant travel

I just say no!!!!!

Simplest answer is always the best, no need for explanations just tell them it's not convenient

I've done it in the past. Spoke to the person first and everything was kosher. Actually sold a guitar to a famous record producer

i've got someone coming to pick something up next weekend. ebay/PP address says i live in the midlands, i actually live in the midlands, just 15 miles away from where EB/PP says. wasn't too hard to explain to them (i moved...obviously i haven't). if your EB/PP says you live in John O' Groates but you live in Lands End, there may be a problem!
