Pet Peeve

My peeve right now is: People who use the web to post their used car ad, give almost no info and then say "Serious buyers only! No tire kickers! No emails please...call only between 8pm and 8:15 pm when the moon is in its third phase and waning."

And if you DO email them, they reply back "call me and I wil ltell you everything you want to know".

WHY USE THE WEB TO ADVERTISE! If you use teh wbe to place an ad, chances are the person buying would PREFER To use email at least at first to screen out the crap.

Also, if you post your ad and want to sell the car, realize that a potential buyer may want pics and lots of info before handing over their hard earned money for your "jewel" of a car...dont reply to requests for these with "Well, ok, but I tell you this car is SOLID" then send me pics where the boards look like swiss freaking cheese and the interior looks like it was lived in for 10 years by a family of 10.

Second peeve is those who are selling and state "My absolute rock bottom price is $x...I will keep it before I go any lower. "

Ok then.

Meanwhile, they post over and over on craigslist, etc for months on end at the same exact price.

ITS NOT SELLING at your "rock bottom price". So either STOP offering at that price ...or STOP OFFERING IT!

And ...Why is it that everybody with a converted 6 cylinder Duster with bad floorboards feels his car is one of a kind and worth twoce what the next car is worth? LOL

Sorry...guess I am a little burned out from hunting...LOL :angry7:
