I to have experienced this phenomenon and I must say it perplexes me no end. I think Racer has probably hit the nail on the head. Maybe folks just look at all the writing they need to do and say, forgetaboutit! As a business owner and sales oriented I find this really an odd situation. At first I thought maybe I was asking to many questions also and then thought well maybe the sellers were just lazy. Then thought, well maybe they never have sold anything before and don't know how to? I'm still baffled. But I finally started just hitting a couple key questions as Racer suggests and asked to follow up with them by phone. Once on the phone I get the 20 questions answered. That seems to work a bit better, but even then it doesn't always guarantee a forthright seller willing to provide enough information to make a decision one way or the other. A lot of times I just give up in frustration. It's no wonder it takes a year or two to find a good car!
Anyway, I'm with you 100% and wish if people are going to sell something, anything really, be prepared to answer questions, become part of the process for cryin out loud! They're the ones inviting us to contact them not the other way around.
Anyway, as you can tell you hit a raw nerve!
