People Who Tried to Bargain with Sellers but Ended Up Embarrassing Themselves and Failing Miserably

Selling anything online is a nightmare these days, 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 excels at, and when it doesn't go well, it can be the most embarrassing experience in the world.

The fact that you can communicate with people behind a keyboard gives individuals more courage (or audacity) to say things they wouldn't typically express 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 one who makes the purchase in the end. Thankfully, there's always the option to block people and prevent them from wasting your time with their desperate attempts.

The individuals in the screenshots below are some of the worst negotiators you will ever encounter; the fact that they thought their attempts would work completely blows my mind. Scroll down and prepare for a lot of cringing and eye-rolling. Bargaining is definitely not something everyone can do.
