Rant flakey people.
I have parts for sale on CL and have had people call and say they want it and never show.. I'm give as much info as I can in the ads description so I'm not bothered by foolish questions, but they're still calling and not showing up.. clear about price as being firm to avoid the dance ...yet they call and are no shows ....why ??:rolleyes:
I have changed my "business practice" so to speak, in the way that i have been trying to sell parts on the local Craigslist, to weed out all, the shoppers, tire kickers, look-e-loo's, no shows, and the plain bull S*#@^!*S.
When i get a call or message i now tell them that i want a small deposit on the part, thru Pay Pal to ensure that your a serious buyer, then you pay me the balance in cash when you come to get whatever your buying from me.
Then when we both agree on a date and time, i insist that they call, before they leave to let me know that they are on the way.
And i don't tell them where i live, how to get here, until they make that phone call, letting me know they are on the way.
No phone call, i don't stay around.
I figure with a deposit, that way, they are gonna show up.
If they don't like that, too bad, so be it, I'm not gonna loose any sleep over it if they don't like all that.
Well that's my 2 cents on the subject, might work for you, might not, but i had (have) to give it a try.
