    If you send the email exactly as you type it in the first post, it could be because you put everything in one giant block of text.

    I found that people are more likely to answer your questions if you put them in bullet points rather than a block of text with little to no punctuation.

    Unfortunately trademe is full of time wasters; and just like job interviews both buyers and sellers need to give a goo impression within the first 2 lines of communication. Otherwise the other party will just think that you're wasting their time.

    So my next interview I should just whip it out and pump a load over their desk, new I was doing it wrong.
    For a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. Keep an open mind, just dont let your brains fall out.

    If you cant afford a toll call, you probably cant afford a track bike.

    That's what he will be thinking.

    Pretty short sighted. I like to get all Comms regarding a sale in writing. Even if it is only am email or text.

    Personally I know how impulsive I can be ( bought the 'busa on impulse while shopping for a jacket) so I don't talk on the phone until I am sure I have enough facts to make an informed decision and am ready to see if it feels right.

    Mind you I would. It contact a vendor unless a deal was there to be done.

    I get a little excited and suddenly suffer a very poor attention span when buying something as awesome as a bike. The ability to read it a few times and make a proper decision may well make me a pain in the arse, but then handing over that kind of money only a fool does not have the facts.

    The bit I hated selling the 'busa was the number of half arsed contacts from people who sounded like they did not qualify for secondary school. Let alone a license.

    "Yeah guv can I have a thrash Sunday?" Was a very real email question. The answer to that would be: sure hand over full payment in cash, If you don't come back I'll assume you want it?


    Stupid phone / Tapatalk, apologies in advance.
