You call this bargaining?

Selling anything online is a nightmare anymore, especially when you are typically communicating with potential customers instantly through direct messages. People will try to bargain whenever they can, but the problem is that bargaining is not something everyone is good at, and when it doesn't go well, it's the most embarrassing thing in the world.
The fact that you can communicate with people behind a keyboard gives people more courage (or audacity) to say things they wouldn't typically say in real life. It brings out the worst in them, and they will try anything as long as they are desperate enough.
The worst part is that anyone could be a potential customer, so you have to give each person a chance because they might end up being the person who buys it in the end. Thankfully, there's always the option to block people and prevent them from ever wasting your time with their desperate attempts.
The people in the screenshots below are some of the worst negotiators you will ever see; the fact that they thought their attempts would work completely blows my mind. Scroll down and get ready for a lot of cringing and eye-rolling. Bargaining is definitely not something everyone can do.
1. "“Friendly” neighbour tries to bargain for my TV but is simply left with an unanswered message after being plain disrespectful and a choosing beggar."
