When going to a seller's home...

Simple solution: as a seller, put your requirements in your FS thread. No kids? Tell us. No bags? Tell us.

If you post in someone's WTB thread, same thing.

I mostly buy, and i guess i must take things for granted... But I've never really thought about bringing my own bags. I don't have kids, but if i did, i wouldn't have thought it was a big deal if i brought them. I'd be responsible for them. I've never brought my dog to anyone's house unannounced, i think it's ridiculous to think that's ok.

If as a buyer i respond to a FS thread, i expect it to be straight forward. I would think the seller would get annoyed if i asked: do you have bags? Can i bring my wife? How about my kids? Do you have animals that might attack me? Weapons in the house i should know about? What's your policy on shoes? Should i ring the doorbell or knock? Which door should i go to? What color is your house? What are you wearing? What should I wear? :D
 
Its ok no worries i didnt think about it being a big deal since we are new. my 4 year old wanted to see, I dont own a dog so guess im ok there, Your house is the only one i even tried to take them out of the car at, and that is just because we have been in the car so long, My kids mind very well he did start to play because you told him to play with the dog then your husban got pretty chity and said if you are going to let your kids run around the house i need to shut the doors...come on, but it doesnt matter now, it is just frustrating being new really trying to get into the hobby and finding this thread about you, When all I did wrong was say i was bringing my family, and no bags to a sellers home, didnt even think of that, But Im sorry,

Come to my house and your kids can play with Daisy. You're wife will love her too. Just take your shoes off and tell teh kids to keep their hands off my artwork.

I had a woman come over with her two bad azz kids and they got to banging my Red Rock sculptures against the storage units while the other was playing with my "Soldier" sculpture like it was an action figure. I ended up putting her azz out.
 
The best is when you agree on a price and the guy comes over and tries to haggle you how did it feel to get removed from my house faster then a blink of a eye lmao you know who you are hahahaha

Yea it it kinda shady to start a thread about u . Think a text a phone call or while u were there would of been better. Kinda weird in u post she apologises to u about her husband then she makes this thread and kinda makes u out as the bad guy . And bags who bring bags with them really just saying . Would of been nice to handle it out of public eye but ive noticed she loves to call people out on here
 
For the record, I dealt with Aaron the same day. He was incredibly friendly, took his shoes off at the door (:lol:), and I'd gladly have him over again, if only to talk for a while. :D
 
Yeah fun some people on here just want to put people on blast for the hell of it when it could be taken care of in house if your husband or wife has a stick up there *** that day let the person know sorry but today isn't the best day families do this together if you don't like begin your the t with no kids
 
This thread was not started to blast anyone specifically. Read post #1 and ease up. It's good to share experiences and this thread has been very helpful to some.
 
Eric it was I've read it all and it was a blast man sorry to disagree not saying g it wasn't helpful after the fact but it was a blast thread

Well to be honest, she didn't put him on blast, he admitted it. She created the thread and it's a great thread for Reefer Ettiquete, which is something we all should be sensitive to. Had a child playfully following a ball into a room filled with guns and shot his sister's face off, I bet the parent would be blaming her but it's her home and has no kids to worry about so the parent needs to do their job or at least ask if it's a kid friendly zone and appropriate.

I'm glad she started the thread, and had Aaron not admitted anything, we would have all thought it was a great thread for sellers and buyers. We all live differently and what's normal for me may not be normal for the next crazy person.

Daisy is usually with me but I rarely bring her into stranger's homes without prior confirmation that it's fine because their dogs may not be able to handle her hotness and behave quite badly or someone might be allergic to animals. Her feet rarely touch the ground anyways because she's usually in my arms. If when you're over my home estate and Daisy is a bit too much, please speak up and say something. I won't take offense and she definitely will listen to me...but she likes guests and wants every man to give me a kiss while their wife is standing there quietly watching. She's just friendly like that.

These are all good things to remember to bring up if there is a problem and thanks Jenny for posting. I would have never thought to start a thread to remind folks that they are walking into someone else's home and private life. Let's all respect each other and the way each of us live.

Aaron, don't take it personal....Jen's one of the the good girls here and I can assure you that she never meant to put you on blast to hurt your feelings, disrespect your family or to soil your rep.
