I am trying to sell computers through Instagram but it seems people don't trust me cause they say I'm too far from where they live in. I could send the stuff but some people say no

I suspect your issue might be copywriting

Prove it.

Because your act is getting tired. I don't block anybody. Ever. But if I did, you'd be the first. (@Antifragile please forgive me. Lol. )

I don't think I've seen a single comment of value from you. You have a very rare good question, but mostly it is inane arguments and trolling disguised as jokes.

His username alone pretty much sums up the type of person we are dealing with here.

He saw fit to name himself “droopynips.”

It boggles the mind that this is an actual person somewhere…

There's a metric at the forum we're going to start looking at again, sort of as a forum currency.

It's your post to like ratio.

For newbies, the ratio is going to be very low. You'll have more posts than likes until you start dropping posts that are interesting.

If you've been here a year, you should see that ratio inverse. You should have more likes than posts. Minimum would be 1:1.

For example, Mr. Nips here has been around for 18 months+, with a negative ratio of likes to posts. Almost double the post count to like count. You're adding noise to the forum.

MJ is at a 4:1 ratio (4 likes for every 1 post). KAK is right there with you. MJs would be higher if he wasn't the one having to deal with the dipshits all the time. @Andy Black is in this grouping. @AllenCrawley is in this group.

Antifragile 3:1. Bizy is right there with you. @Kung Fu Steve is here.

If you're here a year and you can't hit a 1:1 ratio something's wrong with your posts.

F*cking @Lex DeVille is killing it at 5.5:1. PAY ATTENTION TO HIS POSTS.
@Fox is right there with Lex. You should be following him. @biophase is in this group. @SteveO is chasing this group.

If you are messaging or chatting with people that have been here longer than a year and have a negative post ratio (more posts than likes) you know what you got.

Look at the post ratios as sort of a currency of value added to the forum. Post numbers don't matter nearly as much as percentages. And seriously, if you've been here for years and you can't hit a 1:1 you need to speak less and read more.

Man, this reminded me of the old REP $ system. Made it really clear who adds value to the forum.

But yeah, the post-like ratio is something I always look at when reading something from a name I don‘t know yet.

What kind of computers? Honestly I think your best shot would be to try out Nextdoor.com, Offerup.com, and Facebook Marketplace locally if you have them with you if your doing the whole reselling business or doing custom builds.

Plus, it's a lot better doing it through these platforms because you can get cash upfront instead of having to deal with shipping costs, and other related problems, etc.
