I've always wondered why some people don't want emails when they are posting for sale online?

 

No rust? What's with the bottom of that tailgate?
Funny crinkles around the taillights.

 

I always wondered that too until a while ago when I posted an ad for my father to sell his truck. The site insisted upon an email address which my parents don't have so I used mine to make sure that no potential buyer gets missed. After calling my Dad with the details of the 10th or 15th email it started to come to me.

 

So....it took 10 or 15 emails...............

 

Sure....I'm Canadian Eh! Patient and courteous to a fault.

 

Myself, I'm not going to give my work email and I'm not going to waist my time at work looking at my personal email


I still sell some things and I bluntly place in the ad..

...." PHONE, 867-5309 AS I WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY EMAILS BUT WILL ANSWER ANY PHONE CALL, THESE PARTS (or what ever) ARE IN MY DAILY DRIVE AND CAN BE VIEWED AT ANY TIME DURING THE DAY OR EVENING, PLEASE PHONE ONLY.

..... and then you go home to find a couple emails from a moron.....

"I emailed you 2 times today, is the ______ still for sale or what, I am interested but you havn't returned my email???....

:banghead3:....

I don't respond.

 

Well....I really hate that. I would go broke calling people to find out that it isn't what I want.
Fat....for a guy that insists, like I do, that a seller show a ton of pix for a car and require an explicit explanation I'm surprised that you would not allow them the convenience of sending an email for more info. Seriously...I don't buy from phone call only ads. I skip right by them.

 

Fox, I see and understand your point, I forget that alot of buyers weather they are in Canada or the USA buy from out of State/Province and sellers alot of times advertize far away from where they live. I see that alot from sellers where I live.....ads from other parts of BC and Canada. Where I live (island life) alot of ads, the seller only says/clicks "out side of Victoria" yet gives no location, to then find out the parts they are selling for a sceaming deal are 3 days round trip.

I just wheel and deal local, and I so do agree with pics, pics, and more pics along with description even though I'm selling local, when I do it's fresh and several pics. I recently sold 3 different sets of wheels advertized local only, just in my city, not advertized in several citys/ereas. My point I guess is when selling local/buying local (in your own town) it's a slower process to email rather than phone especialy when in my case I clearly say... "You Will Get Me By Phone Anytime, but not by Email"... and I'm only selling $100 OBO junk with pics and discription.

 

It has been for sale for over a year on and off Kijiji.
I spend way too much time lurching..

 

that car doesn't look like its a stranger to bondo

 

Yeah, it does have that loook doesn't it.

 

Still floating around. There's some new pics.
