It seems to be the technologies doing today. Nobody wants to deal in person anymore. Even sellers... Everyone wants to deal over the phone, or via email.
That’s ok I guess for long distance type stuff. But pointless in local everyday things.
Case in point was the Magnum I just went to look at. Seller seemed surprised I actually wanted to come look at it before making an offer. Kept trying to deal through messages.
Of coarse once there I seen why. He wanted running/driving project car $$ for a parts car.
I’ve been on the other side as well, and it drives you nuts! I understand it to some extent. Never know unless you ask, but Jesus... First lines “I got $1200 for your $3500 asking price”. Why bother? Don’t even ask questions about the car, thats just the opening line. GTF outs here! LOL
