Why do they bother...??

[Boggert]

I'm selling the wife's car...

Well put it on Autotrader, in less than 24 hours Marie took a a call :lol:

He started asking questions and she said could you call my husband as I cannot answer the questions.

Well he tries, my mobile is off, so he calls Marie back, she said I'll get him to call you when he is back at 22.00.

At 21.00 he calls! Marie says he isn't back yet will get him to ring you at 22.00... no problem he says, i'm keen... :lol:

So its looking good he is keen enough to call a few times, I ring him back and he asks the right questions, says he'll have a think about it.  He then rings back saying he want to look at it first thing Wednesday Morning.. No problem... 9.00 am



And guess what a no show!

Now I'm not too worried because I'm not going anywhere, but what is the point of all the calls for that... are they dreamers or do they just get a kick out of it??

Sad if you ask me.

I know I've done that before with suppliers, its almost always about attitude, service and price at the end of the day. If you have two close prices then is can be a pig to decide what to go for so it comes down to playing the two off against eachother.

Seems to be a common thing in the private seller world to just wind people up though :( Had it with the Audi 100 after I killed it, some guy from poland tried to buy it. When I asked where his trailer was he seemed to think I was going to let him drive an untaxed car with no front lights, windscreen etc home AND knock £200 off the price of a £300 car.

Sold it a few weeks later to a mate for what I was after.
