White92d15b7 I think its time you start using the buyer feedback

If they don't show, it not only waste your time, money etc. So give them some feedback, it will open their eyes and hopefully they wont be like that to you again or to anyone in general!

thank you for your advice Notorious i understand what the buyer seller feedback forum is for i take it people go strongly on what other people say "word of mouth right" i don't want to go bashing someone cuz they didn't show and find out later they had a good reason for not coming or calling back although i guess you are right thanks a phone call only takes 2 minuites. i dunno man

Trystan,

roast the tire kickers that don't show up!

dude your a great guy and you don't deserve to have your time wasted....

BTW,

your known to be a great guy for parts and stuff on other sites you can't access but hey all good feedback from what I've heard from others about you.

just remember tell the truth exactly as it happen ... along the lines of how long you waited and how early you showed and stuff...

I'd say it also has something to do with the volume of stuff your selling. So many people messaging, e-mailing and calling you, you don't really have a lot of time/patience with each "customer".
My suggestion would be posting a few things at a time, dealing with each customer accordingly, and then move on to the next set of goods.
I know it does suck when you organize a meet with someone and they back out, such a waste of time.

it's not the volume... I sell a few things a year and even then it's pure hell selling, esp being out of town.

also, when I buy, I mean... I won't buy just anything. I wanna make sure it fits, it's in good shape, and it's not a ripoff price. Ya know. I just bought new bumper lenses new, and they cost $18 total shipped, whereas ppl sell them for $20 used plus shipping. So you gotta inquire, research, then purchase.

I just believe that that larger volume of stuff being sold = larger amount of inquiries = lesser patience displayed by seller.
Just my .02

I have to agree with bbarbulo here.... volume is not the issue .... I've sold my set of shocks on here... and if I had 5 posts for every low ball offer I got and responded to via PM's I'd have a higher post count then Bruno...

seriously though there are people that must find it fun to waste peoples time. mind you when I sold my shocks I almost wasted the gentleman's time that came to get them because I got stuck on the TTC ... good thing my dad was around to get them and show them and take the cash.... hmmmm that reminds me I didn't get to see the cash ... hmmmm I have to go now... (I think thast what happens when you forget to pay your dad rent for 3 months )
