Wanted section- when will I learn
I’ve posted on this before….
Responded to a wanted ad. No response, nothing, notta, zip,…. I think insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result…I must be… I’ve responded to wanted maybe 6-7 times and heard back once. Not even thanks, found one, too much , not what I needed …..nothing When will I learn???!!! (Rhetorical question!!) Last edited by Oldbluoval; 10-02-2022 at 05:32 AM. |

Re: Wanted section- when will I learn
I agree, the internet has allowed everyone to be rude.

Re: Wanted section- when will I learn
Silence is (can be) golden!!
Maybe I should be and just never answer a wanted again…..that’s the answer!! |

There is nothing wrong with posting want adds but a person has to be careful in the way they handle a transaction to insure they don't get taken to the cleaners. |

Re: Wanted section- when will I learn
I think is an item is gone the seller just doesn't want to waste anymore time and deletes the messages.
I was looking - email no response - phone no call back - 2nd call Oh we decided to keep it I'll take the ad down - 3 weeks later it's still up. 2nd car email no answer - phone call did you send me an email? I'll be out of town and will get in touch when I return - not very promising. He did call I did buy he even delivered the car 200 miles for gas money. I have a friend who is building the continuation Shelby GT350 R Models under license from Shelby American. They start with a HiPo "K" chassis. He calls on ones being offered for $75,000+ and gets no call backs even though the car is still available and he has cash in hand. Keep trying - there are deals out there. |

Re: Wanted section- when will I learn
IMO, a response is common courtesy. It is clear that for some people, one out of two is good going and they are obviously not courteous!

Re: Wanted section- when will I learn
Synchro….
Agreed! So with me it means no parts for them. But if they haven’t answered guess that’s moot!! I make some specific parts that are available only from me….so they need to tread carefully. No time for BS. |

Re: Wanted section- when will I learn
Could be that the person doesn’t visit the site often.

Re: Wanted section- when will I learn
Could also be the seller does not have enough post (need 10+) so cannot respond. Does the person you are trying to contact have 10 or more post?

Re: Wanted section- when will I learn
Well, not everyone is a jerk. Please don't punish us folks with good manners over the behavior of others. I have had pretty good luck finding some hard to find stuff through the wanted section.

Re: Wanted section- when will I learn
In recent times 5 of 7 never responded.
I do mostly body-specific parts so Bert’s and Snyder’s will direct those seeking such to me. Answering wanted ads is just not worth the effort and frustration. Could be me! |
