In retail, if you could do without suppliers and the general public life would be peachy.....

Don't whatever you do look at Vinted. That place is crawling with scumbags.

Marketplace is the worst. Sold a fair amount on there but way too many no shows.

Maybe not for fishing gear but generally it is full of scammers.

I think some people are just lonely and just want the interaction.

Suffering it now on ebay. A fella has sent me about 10 messages haggling a "buy it now" option which I've done for him and now he's disappeared.

Here's just one of the incredible ones we have had Matt. And dealing direct we would get so many.

Had a young lad contact us via WhatsApp. Showing a tub of hook baits, with one on top that had clearly been in the water over night. Swollen, you could even see the indent where the floss had been around it. Claimed they had been sent like that.

When I called him up, there was an older man behind him instructing him what to say. It was so cringy. I asked the young lad to put the puppet master on the the phone. After a heated discussion for two minutes about how what he was claiming was an impossibility, he apologised quickly & put the phone down. When I tried to call back it was blocked.

Scammers everywhere now.
