The rest of them can be thrown into:
The "thinking about selling a car at a price I wont tell you at a location I wont tell you with a condition you cant see until you post an e-mail" thread.

There are some sites that require price and location or the moderators reserve the right to delete the post/thread. Not a bad idea IMHO. If everyone gets on the same page about this, I would also agree to do the same.

How about when you clearly post a very fair and reasonable price and some jerkoff doesn't ask any questions at all and only sends an email or pm wanting to know "WHAT IS THE LOWEST YOU WILL TAKE?". Obviously fishing and wasting sellers time. My reply to those is simply, I posted my price in the ad. "WHAT IS THE MOST YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW ALMOST NOTHING ABOUT, HAVE NOT SEEN IN PERSON AND ARE UNWILLING TO AT LEAST PICK UP THE PHONE TO DISCUSS?" HMMMM!

There is good and bad in all of this as there are also many picture collectors out there that don't have two nickels to rub together and just want to see pictures of everything someone wants to sell.

I have photos of most of my cars on a website and can easily email the link for them to interested parties, but if someone sees an add that they think interests them and they aren't even willing to invest 10 minutes in a phone call asking real questions about what a car really is, I don't have time to waste holding their hand. If I was having a fire sale or had a desparate need to sell, maybe I would look at it differently.

Just my $.02. Flame on if necessary! Have a great day guys!
