If as a seller , you think I will drive 1000 miles with a pocket full of $100 bills because of ONE picture and a three line description you are nuts.If I go to the trouble to email asking specific questions I am interested in your car. Statements like "you can't build this car for what I am asking"or" Its first class everything" doesn't give me any info on the car.
Taking three pics at midnight in a thunderstorm with your cell phone does not help sell your car.Come on ,you have to know someone who has a decent digital camera. Pics of the car in a dark building with your wifes Xmas decorations piled on it isn't going to make it seem that attractive either.
"I don't really have to sell just checking to see whats out there" Really ???
" Phone only I do not answer emails or texts." Then I call and get your voice mail, of course you never return the call. Obviously me and my money are not important to you .
"No picture collectors" I am a computer Idiot but I can put 50 pics on Image shack or photo bucket in just a few minutes .Anyone who wants can access them without bothering you.Easy Peasy.
In the last three weeks I have replied to three for sale adds,none of the three has returned any pics, two promised to do it same day,one said they didn't have any more pics,all three failed to answer questions . These were items that should have been in the add( weight, certify ,titled, ect)

Now, its your car you can do anything you want with it . If you want to SELL it write an add with all the info in it, add a link to pictures or pics in the add, and if someone asks questions they are not doing it because there bored. It only takes one person to buy your car, and who knows which one it will be.
I didn't post this to start a spitting contest,just thought instead of wondering why your car isn't selling ,maybe you would want to change the approach.
Man ain't it the truth ! lol..

Tell ya what I been on both ends...right now I would like to sell my 67 Nova even went thru the expense of upgrading the chassis to 7.50et 25.5. I just don't want to deal with the non-sense. I know I could not replace the car for what I would sell it for...So this is keeping me being ok NOT selling it cause I know there will come a day I get the itch and will not have it in the garage so that would be a bad day.

But back to you the buyer...never understood why a seller thinks they are doing the buyer a favor...
