Funnily enough the main offenders are usually from a big city, normally London (or occasionally Birmingham) and are hundreds of miles from me, have not read the advert, haven’t a clue where I am and want it delivered f.o.c., cambelted, discounted and cash on delivery. Unfortunately many seemed to be on a different time zone to me & thought they were bartering in a midnight souk - that’s why it’s sensible hours only for me for the sake of my sanity.

I don’t answer phone calls after about 7pm, my adverts clearly state “no texts” and I answer emails a couple of times a day. 99% of these idiots phoning at all hours that I used to get were just that, idiots. If they are so keen at let’s say 10pm, then they are l unlikely to purchase elsewhere so if they are genuine they’ll phone again tomorrow. This year I can count on two fingers the no. of punters who originally phoned at stupid-o-clock, phoned the next day and then actually bought. The no. of strangers who don’t phone again or when they do (normally days later) are clearly full of shit must be double figures every week. I’d have a breakdown if I dealt with every pillock who phoned.

Agree 100% ! Do the job right - sell proper cars / Prep them well - and its a long term strategy - builds trust and repeat business !!
