For those that don't know, Offerup is a merchant app where people can buy and sell stuff and then meet to pick up said items or ship them if they're too far away. According to Google Play, the app has over 50+ Million downloads, half of what Ebay has, and is one of the most popular apps to buy and sell stuff all around.
Sounds fine, right? Seems like a good app with a 4.1 star rating and a good place to put your stuff there.
Hahahahahahaha... HELL NO.
Offerup is COMPLETE TRASH. I'm not even spicing it up for the blog post, this app is actually complete garbage. Everybody... LITERALLY every person I have dealt with on this app... is an asshole. Even the people I tried to buy from gave me shit. Now I'm a little bit of a bargainer. If I can get something for $5 off I will. If not, that's fine. But Christ almighty... people give you so much shit if you do. I literally asked someone if I could get $5 off on this phone because... I needed a new phone. The person replied back, saying "stop being a cheap fuck and pay full price."
I was literally BAFFLED. What the hell did I do to piss someone off to not get just $5 off a phone? Why was this person so damn rude!? Not only that, but the people who try to buy from you are the biggest... god damn pricks in the history of the world. I have a whole bunch of electronics on there and had some pretty expensive amps and speakers. I had this $150 subwoofer listed on there and you could not believe the amount of people that wanted it for less than $100. Some asshat wanted it for $70. This shit doesn't even sell for $90 wholesale (price before retail mark-up)! And if they don't get what they want, they try to gaslight you. They always say shit like "Oh I can get this for $40 on Amazon, you're charging too much."
I deadass go to Amazon, SAME EXACT ITEM... $90. And I'm selling that same thing for $50. Whose charging too much here again?
I really don't know what it is with this damn app and its toxicity. People ghost you, tell you you're ripping them off, give you bad reviews because you didn't describe the item exactly how it was... even though the item is in perfect condition. No other Online trading market is like this. I've dealt with people on Facebook and got good results, and Ebay is probably the best when it comes to building relationships and sincerity!
But this app.... this piece of shit app has the worst of customers AND sellers. And you might be saying "it's probably because it's all cash most of the time so it's going to be toxic as hell." That's not true. Facebook is local meet up and cash as well but it's nowhere near this bad. Everybody here is just a cheap fuck!
Honestly I literally don't want anyone to even THINK about going on this god forsaken nightmare and Offerup hasn't been doing anything to stop this shitty behavior. It's like I'm on Gamefaqs back in 2005.
So in conclusion... fuck Offerup and uhhh... yeah fuck Offerup.
