"No time wasters" advertisers !!
I still cannot understand ads with this quote:"No time wasters". I feel it is not appropriate if one would like to convince people to buy what he/ she advertises, he/she should demonstrate cheerfulness, kindness and some hospitality type of behavior which this quote does not at all reflect...
The irony is when you see those " 40 is the final price, do not call if..." Then after a week, it becomes : "38 is the final price, do not call if..." Two weeks later: "37, 36......is the final price, do not call if..."
I myself do not feel comfortable dealing with this type of people who think they are saving the humanity when offering their item for sale.
Also, those mentioning their nationality as a good reason to buy from them.... I believe it is in not appropriate at all.
Guys, you are selling used items, Be reasonable and expect different types of people calling you. If not get a professional to do that for you.
i personally think when I sell anything I used that whatever I get is a gift since I'm supposed to fully consume it and throw it for recycling. Thus I sell quickly and move to something else in my life... Of course this is not the case if it is your job !
Please share your thoughts !

Those who claim" no paint, bumper to bumper" then when you insist to go for computer check up, they start: there's only little paint on.....
Stop, stop stop lying ! Be honest, you won't worry... You'll be happy with what you get!
Those who put their cars in the mileage category 100k to 120k while their cars mileage is 125k or 130k ! Isn't this a LIE?
Come on! and you claim everything is good about your car! How can I trust you?
Risk , It has positive side ... you might come across an old friend or find your separated relative ...

i posted something to sell here, with complete descriptions and photos too. Someone sent me email asking if he could see the actual item "to take a photo of it". I asked him how many photo's does he needs, i will send them all to him in all angles but he insisted on seeing the item actual in the middle of the night.. I marked my ad SOLD!
zaq08, I did receive calls like that and others asking on whatsapp then disappearing.... But think of good willing people who you lose by those quotes....
I generally change cars every year or so because I like upgrading. I never expect the buyer to pay my new toy... It's ridiculous.
Some use their cars for a year or more and want kinda a "reimbursement" of the total amount they paid when they want to change and of course they claim they are leaving for good or.....
Then, how many people go to showrooms, get attended by salesmen and sometimes offered a beverage... Eventually they do NOT buy for some reason...? Following your logic, showrooms and shops stop hiring salesmen and display something like: take it or leave it...
Salesman can answer any question.... From too stupid to too smart
Well, perhaps u r new here. Have you ever post any add here & got a silly call, just like an interview by someone who want to learn sthing about the items? At the end they'll bargain with incredible price. I know, it's just an escape rather than saying: "I dont want to buy it, sorry". But this act is really annoying & sometimes happened frequently... :-(
The other thing (opposite) is someone who sell sthing used with almost the same price as new??? or selling a car (for example) with status new but with several thousand kms on it??? All those stupidities are available here ... ;-)
From my personal point of view (from my own experience) I get so many calls wanting to see whatever I got to offer, I cancelled all my plans. Then they never show up plus reject my call. They sort of disappear or something as you never hear from them again. So now I understand why some people put 'no time wasters'.
I also get too many calls asking for what is your final price. Thus, final price is stated in the add. It's like they can't see the price already. I guess to some seller it's their final price for that week or so. Then they decided to consider lowering their price I suppose.
So yeah, my two cents
Ya very true i hate this kinds of Add which keeps on changing as the days passes, the person should know very well that when u post a Add anyone may call you. Your item is really worth what you have priced for sure you will get it or else there will be bargaining. And no one like to waste there money by calling the advertiser in he is really not interested as some people says no time wasters does that mean those who call them must buy it or else no call...............
Lol very true !
Infact, i posted an ad for some item and someone called me said the price i am looking for is high and we get much cheaper elsewhere...I told him, thank you for the info. then why have you troubled yourself and called me go check elsewhere then....:)
