I agree - a marked increase in cryptic emails asking if something is still available or will you take a very low price or both. I also agree with the viewpoint that this is probably just part of the environment, and you just have to be efficient at weeding them out and not assume you have a sale until it's final.
Are there more tirekickers now vs. then?
In the past 6 months, I've experienced quite a few people who have nothing better to do than make an offer then back out?..There is this guy named Robin Wyatt who actually said that he had sent his money order and checked with me periodically if I had received it. I found out that he never sent anything. In the meantime, I've stopped posting ads for my equipment and have also turned down and lost 2 serious buyers!..This Robin Wyatt guy is mental...he played with my mind and even sounded worried that his payment could be lost in the mail..even said he would put a trace on it...When I asked him to fax a copy of his money order to me, he never replied...never...What a LOOSER!
