Reply to: Boat Buying---Am I missing something?

[quote=goodsailing]Lets use the simple item first: Used soccer ball for sale $2 Buyer writes: Is it still available? Seller: Yes Buyer: When can I come and buy it? Seller: You can come any time Buyer: How about Friday night Seller: Gosh, wife just told me we're going out to dinner Friday. Can you come Saturday Buyer: Can't come Saturday. How about Sunday. Seller: Yea Sunday is OK. What time can you be here. Buyer: I can come after 12. Seller: What time after 12 Buyer: Around 2 Seller: OK Buyer: what is your address Seller 1213 Oak Street Bethesda MD Buyer: What is your cell number Seller: 212 234 4567 Seller What is your phone number? 48 hours pass and you never get a response from buyer. End of conversation, buyer never provides any info whatsoever yet you spent your time giving him all your info. Times this by 7 or 8 prospects. For a two dollar item. For the time you spent typing you might as well put the ball in the trash. Callers = buyers. Talking to a real buyer saves sooooo much time. Sorry: way too much typing for me for some who fell off the face. My ad: Soccer ball $2 You want it, call me. Phone.. etc. For the 6 boats I've sold recently I got about 7 or 8 calls. For the H18 I just sold I got one call and he came and got it the next day from 400 miles away. I got 4 or 5 emails on this boat, not from the guy who called and bought the boat. I never responded to the emailers and they never called. Hence, the guys who didn't call, where not buyers or simply lost getting a good boat, because they didn't call. I suspect the former. Not buyers. Why chit chat via email with a non buyer? He could be a 12 year old kid and has not yet told his dad he's out buying a boat, for god sakes. Requiring phone is a good qualifier that eliminates non buyers, the emailers and texters IMHO. Try it for you next sale.[/quote]
