Nick M.K. 574 Posted November 17, 2019 I'd call him. Just a quick call to say I just had a chat with another buyer interested in reserving it "unseen" over the phone as it ticks all the boxes for him but he can't travel for a few days. "I just called you out of courtesy as you had travelled to us and invested some time in case you were still interested" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arfur Dealy 823 Posted November 17, 2019 The thought of someone wasting my time boils my blood, I have zero tolerances for these idiots. They either confirm their intent upfront or go and waste someone else’s time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m with you.... yes absolutely its an age experience thing for me, I don't need to be a bitch to the job, I make it work for me wisely and on my terms. The negativeness and criticism I get is from those who just don’t understand my approach simply don't understand. I’m happy to say no to people who just want to “Av a look” none of these types have read the advert let alone watched the vid. Genuine buyers get their time wasted by shite sellers all the time. I just tap into accuracy and sell on the basis of trust.... You gain buyers who wouldn’t normally travel, that’s the key to a much easier life. Deposit upfront (fully refundable) based on accuracy is perfectly reasonable for genuine buyers. Those are the customers I deal with.

I would be chatting, well more like u'umming with the VAG twat as he is bending down inspecting the tyre treads on the 4th tyre with his magnifying glass after, already being onsite for an hour, all whilst having to explain the 'hawwwwwwhhhhhh' coming out of the sales office every 5 minutes VAG twats cost us a fortune in gas canisters until we stopped selling them. was your explanation that it was the messer horn? Better to use these when they are in a position to jump, bang their head on the open bonnet, dislodge it from the bonnet stay and land on their fingers.
