Selling Trucks Here On Forum

Just wondering why some of the guys selling trucks on this forum dont bother responding to emails for more info and pics when asked by a possible buyer . Why bother posting it for sale if you dont plan to respond ? If its because you think Im too far away , I have bought one from about as far from Ga as you can get . Rant over ,bought another one anyway .

Poor pictures and lack of response is fairly common based on my shopping experiences. Yes, you would think someone selling would be more responsive, some are and too many are not.

I think if people aren't responding then ads need to be deleted.

Re: Selling Trucks Here On Forum

I understand....I aggrevates me when I send a email responce or question to someone selling something and they never respond. ...I prefer making a phone call but most ask for text or email contact...and some businesses don't publish a phone number...email contact only. ...then they never respond...even to multiple requests..
sorry way to do business in my opinion. ..

Re: Selling Trucks Here On Forum

Back in 2011, I bought a truck from a forum member while I was stationed in Afghanistan. Paid a small deposit and everything so he would hold it for me until I got back stateside after a couple of months. Transaction went smooth and I am still enjoying the truck. Not everyone is a bad seller, or maybe I just got lucky.

Re: Selling Trucks Here On Forum

I had a Blazer listed and realized I had not gotten any responses to the ad at all. I went and looked at the ad and there were a couple questions posted that I had not been alerted to. It had been some time since the posts had been made but I contacted the member to answer and see if he was still interested. Couple week later he went home with it. I think there is a glitch on that side or there is a box the sellers are not checking when posting because I never got any notifications.

Re: Selling Trucks Here On Forum

I bought a truck from a member on here from desert of California a while back and he was great to deal with all the way around and would buy from him again . I have tried now to buy 2 other trucks on 2 separate occasions and never heard back from them . One was just days before I started this thread . I just dont understand the no response part as this last one I sent him an email .

Re: Selling Trucks Here On Forum

should be a mandatory form to fill out buyer and seller with phone numbers,too many internet trolls giving offers without seeing/reading or viewing the vehicle in person. I request pics of all the common ares of rust,veery few send them

Re: Selling Trucks Here On Forum

I don't know about the truck sales, but I got to the bottom of the page and noticed a banner there says gorgeous women waiting to meet me.

Trucks are much cheaper.

Hmmm. Those women are probably cheaper. Note to the women on the board- I used to be the cheapest dude ever. I have been known to do the deed on the first date.
