Did I miss something? Since when did it become the norm for everyone to ask for delivery?

I have had several items lately for sale from ATVs to small items and I have not failed to get at least three quarters of the potential buyers asking me to deliver the item to them! What in the wide wide world of half wits and herpes is everyone thinking??!?? Or is this some bullshit trendy stupidity that is expected these days?

Oh sure, I'll sell you that $25 item for $12.50, and I'll just hop into my 13 mpg truck and trot it right to your door in Glenpool from Claremore! DERP!!!

It's 4:30 am and I am easily ready to rip arms off assholes.

People are lazy man, post your items with a $50-$100 standard delivery fee and bank. It would probably get them to buy more items too.

People in my neighborhood pay $40-$60 a month to have someone scoop their dog poop for them once a week. I have over 200 pounds worth of canines and my 2nd grader scoops the dog poop weekly. It takes a 7 year old 10-15 minutes and that includes taking breaks to randomly whack trees with the pooper scooper.

We unloaded some furniture and noticed the same thing. We told all of them just how dumb we thought their idea was.
 
I had my 1985 Honda Big Red for sale, fortunately for me the same guy that bought one of my other Big Reds decided to buy this one as well. He's got the casheesh to have someone deliver it for him quite easily so all is well on that one.

Bicycles. Bicycles are one that people definitely want delivered to their door.

Bitch I ain't Amazon.
 
I occasionally get people to ask me to meet them somewhere in between, and I don't mind doing that for small items, but if it has to go in the back o the truck or on the trailer, they can come get it.

I bought a cheap chinese scooter for the shop, and I paid the guy $20 to deliver it. He rode it over, and I drove him back to his office 2 miles away. Never occurred to ask for free delivery.
 
We bought table and chairs from a neighbor a few blocks away and paid them $10 extra to bring it over in their truck, but shes in my wifes book club, so a little different.
