My observation with buyers is somewhat the same, but somewhat different. I get people blowing up my phone with texts about how interested they are in my car/truck, set up a meet and greet, confirm that they will be at my house at a certain time on a certain day, and then ...........crickets.......no show, so text, no call.
My son is expecting a guy to come tonight to buy his truck. This guy has been in the military overseas for the last month or two, and promises the world. I am trying to prepare my son for the inevitable dissapointment of him disappearing off the face of the earth with no contact.....who knows, maybe this guy will follow through, but not likely, it has happened so manty times to me.
I preach to my son, that when I say, I will be there t a certain time, I show up with cash in hand. If I am selling something, the first guy who contacts me and confirms his desire to buy has 1st right of refusal, no exceptions, even for more money.
My word is my bond, but so many other people don't follow that code.
