I will email you one time, if, and only if you have left a phone number with your ad, if no email response, I will call you directly. If you do not leave a contact number- RED FLAG time. I understand folks work for a living, but email can be checked from ANY computer that has internet access and cell phones are a dime a dozen nowadays. If you do not list a phone number, then you automatically become a suspicous character in my eyes. Why would you not want a prospective buyer to have your phone number? Something to hide? Want to avoid being bothered by the guy you crooked? There is absolutely no reason for a person not to make contact within 24 hours. Email or call me about one of my items or cars, I guarantee you a response.
I have never been ripped off, nor have I ever ripped anyone off, because I refuse to be a victim or conman. I also have never, ever lost a sale due to not communicating or lying about the condition of anything. I will NEVER sell something I think is junk. I can go as far as giving many local business folks as reference, you can find them in the Yellow Pages or call directory assistance to verify them as being true. You should really expect that out of ANYONE you want to do business, not just me. If you are not respected in your own local area, what makes you think you can earn respect elsewhere?
In closing, if they don't respond within 24 hours,screw them. It all boils down (in my opinion) to your character as to whether you want to conduct business correctly. Really pretty simple: communication.
One more thing while I am still good and ornery, put pictures in your ads. Not 2 or 3 pictures, fill it up, have more to send a buyer if requested. A man being honest can send ANY picture that is requested. I suspect we have more than 50 pictures of ALL our cars, inner rear quarter panels, rocker panels, suspensions, ANY picture you want, can send them at the click of a button. I know, I know, you don,t have time to do all that. Makes it simple for me then, I have no time or MONEY (which is why the sale is being held) to invest in your car either then.
I am not a business, just a guy that loves his rides. Every car we do, we do for ourselves, then we eventually sell them to get other toys.
Good luck and expect more!! 8)
