I am so mad.
Here is my story.
A nice lady had contacted me about chicks for sale, at first she wanted only 5 for $25.00 that was fine
i told her i have 7 that i can sell, she said ok, i gave her a deal for all 7 for $30.00 she agreed, then had someone else pick them up for her.
Thats fine.
I had the chicks ready in my other brooder.
The pick up person gets here, i put the chicks in the box.
She says i have $23.00 or do you have change for a $20.00 I did not , i just got done shopping cash is gone.
any way, I say no i dont shoot, she says well let me go see if i have some change in my car, i say ok.
she then comes back in and hands me $23.00 bills and $1.00 in change, i told her wait no there is 7 chicks and the lady knows that it is $30.00 for all of them.

The pick up person says noo the e-mail that i got from her said $25.00 for 5 chicks, and then i said wait, then i backtrack to make sure that i am talking about the right person, Yes I am, so i said let me count the chicks i just put in this box, she was standing right in front of me while i counted the,
There was 7
I told her that the lady said she would send her with $30.00 to give me for the 7 chicks, she still replies by saying that's not the e-mail i got.
then she said something about a check, then i said no you know what that is ok, i will just take the $24.00 total for the 7 chicks.

So i e-mailed the lady you paid for the chicks and told her that 7 chicks on there way to her and how much the pickup lady gave me.

Then the pick up lady e-mailed me last night saying this,
It was nice to meet you, all chicks made it to there home, 5 that was in the box.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I e-mailed her back saying there was not 5 there were 7 chicks in that box, and the lady knows that 7 were on there to her.

any way the pick up lady e-mailed me back saying i am calling her a liar and that she is going to warn people about my actions.

I e-mailed back
My actions? What actions, that i gave 7 chicks to some one at a great discount price because you did not have the money that was supposed to paid to me.

She e-mailed me back, again saying that i am calling her a lair and a thief, and that she would send me a check for the 2 extra chicks that she still says were not in the box.

COME ON, This lady is such a fraud, She stiffed her poor friend along with me.

So I told the lady who bought the chicks that because of her friend she is more than welcome to have 2 more chicks from free.
I dont want bad names on me because of someone else greed.

Can you believe this person.

So now We came up with a new thing
i will be making a receipt paper, the person who buys the chicks put there names down, i will right how many and how much they paid and have them sign it, of course after i make sure they do see how many i put in the box.

Sorry for the long rant, i am just sooo upset over this.
 
omg!!! thats just insane, some people....

I cant stand those people, ive dealt with some like that before, they agree to a price, then they show up and say ooooo i dont have (said amount). I'd like to pop em.... Next time that happens, make them walk out... I would...
 
Now that is BAD! Crooked people are a dime to a doz!

Now that is a smart thing you will do on your next chick order!
 
WOW!! I have dealt with some idiots selling chicks but nothing like this...sorry you had to go through this.
 
Now that is just crazy...

You went way beyond what you should of done and that makes you a person with good honorable character. I like your idea about the receipt.
 
That stinks! I hate doing everything "business like", but you know you have to protect yourself and your hard earned reputation. Receipts are the way to go. You learned a lesson, and I'll bet all the other people who buy chicks from you will be really nice. One bad apple...Good luck with your future sales!
 
It's hard when you try to be nice and do the civil thing and get kicked in the teeth because of it. Business is business though and you need to cover yourself. I think a receipt is a great idea and next time....no money...no chicks....

I don't care how far they drove to get them. No matter how nice you are..there are some people that will try to get over on you. You know you did the right thing. Maybe this is just a nudge for you to use your head instead of that big heart when it comes to business with people you dont know. Don't let this get to you.

WAIT!!!!! Red flags going all up over this. How do you know that the pick-up lady isn't the same person as the one you sold the chicks to? I would NOT give her two more chicks for free... all she would have to have is 2 email addresses to be able to pull a scam on you! Seriously, if she wanted the chicks without any drama she should have brought the money and picked them up herself.

Oh I didn't even think of that

If it were me I would have given her only 5 for the money (unless the other 2 were just cockerels or something you didn't want around anyway). No way would I give them 2 more.....
That really frosts me....​
