Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Even if I want to get rid of something for nothing, I'll put it up for a fiver.

The number of fucking idiots that come out of the woodwork rises exponentially when you list it for free, proper unreasonable or a ludicrous false sense of entitlement.

I'll wait until someone wants it, offers to pay, and tell them to keep it and put it in a charity box on their way home or some shit. Saves a lot of hassle.

the sign sucks.

why is the price off to one side, and in a different color from the rest of the information?

the reason I ask questions is because the people who disseminate information are often idiots and can't be concise.

Also it's possible some of that information has changed and the lister forgot to update the sign. It's $6.00 now and you'll have to go to the ATM.

Always ask. Don't be embarrassed by these waspy self-obsessed losers (the people who spread the kinds of messages in the artwork). Their behavior is what's wrong here, not yours.

Don’t be a self-absorbed asshole on the internet. Not everything is about you. The seller put effort in the description, and if you’re too lazy or too cool to read it, you’re the asshole. Especially static information, like in this case the height or color, won’t change, so your argument is moot here.

The price listed on the listing is the price the seller intended to list. If it changed, the seller will update the listing. Of course you can ask for a discount, but please don’t bother people with stupid questions that are already explained in great detail just because you feel entitled. Thank you.

Is it still available?

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Me: yes, it's still available Them: never to be heard from again

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

To be fair, this one is common on Facebook because it's the stupid top auto reply thing that is way too easy to fat finger when browsing listings

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Me: no, sorry I just sold it to someone else.
Them: I'll come pick it up in half an hour.
