Don't be this guy at Garage Sales: He stepped in on my deal!

Has anyone ever step in on your sale? Did you let them have the item or did you say something? How did you handle it?

He did kind of jump in but the seller was not very clear up front about the comics and the box for five dollars. The seller put the box down I think with the intention of putting the comics back in but when the other fellow wanted the box the seller sold. After a little time and talking about possible confusion, the other person was kind enough to offer it back and you were kind enough to let it go. Just another day in the life of human interaction and communication which can sometimes be frustrating, but the best thing is everyone seemed to be civil.

In MY humble opinion, the guy standing there merely asking to buy an empty box that might could have just been getting ready to be thrown away was no big deal as in his mind he had no intentions for the comics just an empty box. What IS weird was the seller's mindset that, while you were literally standing there with the comics that he had just handed you was to tell the box guy he could have the box for $5.00 thinking he was not only selling an empty box but the box with said comics in it!! Now THAT was rude as he had literally just handed the comics to YOU and just sold them right out from under you. Now THAT was the weird part. Who does that? LOL

Grown men fighting for an empty box, what is this world coming to lol

I think this is on the fringe of “stepping in on your deal” while I personally wouldn’t have done it, it’s not like the guy asked about the comics. It wouldn’t have really bothered me.

Had a large video game deal in the making at a sale and someone showed up and inserted themselves in to my deal. The seller had no interest in selling to them since I inquired first. They wouldn’t go away and continued to throw dollar amounts out. I walked away with a great deal and a headache

16:46 what you're here for

I asked a lady how much a riding toy was, and she gave me a price and some other lady said I'll take that too and the seller just said ok. I probably should of said something but I figured the lady needed to feel super important standing next to her 90s entertainment center made of pressed wood she just bought. This was probably 2012-2013.

The Curb Your Enthusiasm DVDs were a "pretty, pretty, good" deal.

I would've taken the box back when offered. I simply refuse to get in another person's deal. Once they're done, whatever is left is fair game.

I think he didn't realize that that box was brought out for you. You were looking through comics and since he saw the box on the table he bought it.

That was more of the sellers fault not paying attention. You literally asked for the box of comics....not just a random Playstation empty box, lol. A couple of banger books in that stack, depending on the condition, they looked pretty beat up. Banger haul my dude & and I'm still getting things around to send to you. Keep it rocking & much ❤❤

13:42 I could be wrong, but that looks like a Hamilton Beach Toastation unit, red. It has a toaster oven on the front and can make toast on the top, a combo unit. If that was it, those go used easily for 50 bucks or more. I had a silver/black version and it sold for 60 plus shipping.

How dare he take your box. I would have started throwing hands.

I always learn from watching your YouTube videos! You give great tips!! I had a similar experience, I was talking to the seller,who was elderly, and telling me about some of the items that I was interested in, and another buyer came out of nowhere, and scooped up several of those items that I had shown interest in. While I was standing there talking to the sellers! But, I didn’t put them aside.. So it was kinda my fault!!!🤬

Both that guy buttn in on your deal and seller were being couple of clowns … But Im glad he got Karma at the end there when he was thrown off by his wife price those items for $.50😅😅😂

I had a neighbor once who held a grudge against me because I bought the lighthouse at a yard sale 3 doors down. Apparently he went and saw it but didn't buy it. When I sold my house 5 yrs later, he came over and said "I want that lighthouse, so don't get rid of it because I want it. He also wanted my bird bath. He didn't offer to pay?

* WOW ~ That guy just ripped your purchase in half.. Too bad you didn't realize what he was doing right away.. [or step on his foot Accidentally..] What a jerk..

He didn’t butt in on your deal. He asked for an empty box that he had no reason to think you’d want. After the guy said it was $5 for everything he could have walked away with your comics as well but he was honest and didn’t take your items.

Douche move on his part. I dont think I could have been so calm.
