The ones who just look at photos, then........wait for it.......send an email........asking.......how long have you owned and why are you selling ?

Peace pipe maaaannnn We can all disagree, but lets all agree with only low level offence... If you want to start offering people out, its for you to show your prowess and Show us how big they are.... Me thinks you have marbles...My friend.....PEACE James, I like the fact you actually let this forum be a forum and let the boys have a scrap, you only start to knock heads when its heading the wrong way.

Look, if you buy crap expect crap. It's there because it's crap, it amazes me the "no reserve" line, I watch sometimes and it's like watching flies attracted to a freshly laid turd.... No offence intended:)

Caveat Emptor. You rolled the dice.....

Hate the liars that BS and say the deposit on its way. I won't let them get off the phone until its arrived.

YOU are playing the RACE card, the discussion is about about cultural differences and the difficulties. You clearly don't understand the difference and are now specifically and TYPICALLY using the RACE card as a defence

MUZO, You are now trying to play the RACE card. Aren't you original......

And we didn't die for them as well ?? Show some respect !!

"What iam saying is they all not bad maybe some irritating ones but generally they are good people you have to give take mate" I don't have to give or take, why should I ! This is the UK. A culture and democracy which should be respected by it's guests, we don't operate our economy on the basis of a street market in Pakistan (for example). You simply don't appreciate how deeply offensive it is in our culture to be so offensive and rude. End of !

I'm afraid you make absolutely no sense....

They will and they do.

Don't waste your time with them. Tell them, you value your time above theirs and unless they they confirm they are a genuine buyers you won't appoint them Take control. If they won't to buy the car they will pay a nominal deposit to confirm intent, wasters won't pay a deposit.

I just say this is the UK, we sell on quality. Explain Mr foreign customer would you buy the cheapest parachute ,Erm no !! So why would you want to risk the life of you and your family in the cheapest car you can find. If you want cheap, that means YOU are cheap, if you want quality YOU are quality. Huge difference !! Believe me, they have no answer to that ...............

For all the above reasons, I only sell to customers who are polite and respectful irrespective of race. I'm not racist but I do find a lot of UK born Asians intrinsically disrespectful and obnoxious. I simply won't entertain any of the "last price" mob handed, speak in their own language, cannot read brigade if they aren't respectful. I treat people how they treat me, end of.

Who ??

XFS, your a man out of my own book. Your approach is very similar to mine, however I'm even more protective of my time I only appoint people who have watched my full video appraisal and have confirmed with an (upfront deposit) their intent to buy on the basis of my description. I never appoint anyone who just wants to "av a look". They have to confirm with a deposit that they are genuine buyers.

Well done for letting it off your chest

Absolutely agree, just delete.

Stephen, set a a direct debit using the 12 digit reference on the V5/2.

I'll start off with..... People who call my mobile with and don't leave a voicemail, and then you get the 3 missed calls within a 2 minutes and NO voicemail. Its so rude !!

Even the most experienced buy Lemons, the key is to get out of them asap. Take the loss and move on. When I first started I averaged a loss on 1 in 10, now its more like 1 - 20.... sell it quickly so you can re-invest and concentrate on making more money

James, its personal to you it's what you want. I trade from home retailing about 150 a year selling everything by video. The internet is my forecourt
