    What is the deal with people selling cars.. Why the Attitude?

    Ok so I went "a-hunting" for a vehicle this weekend. I had 3 potentials, one I snagged, One they wouldn't accept my offer, and the 3rd.. well the third is where the rant comes in.

    Dateline Saturday: So this guy has an ad on CL.. he has no phone number listed in his ad. I send an email, he still has it. I said "Great, I will be up there on Sunday (I was looking at another vehicle in the same area,) I wanted to know if I could come take a look?" This is about 45 minutes away, so I really wanted to meet at some point on Sunday and try and strike a deal. He says yes Sunday would work for him, I asked him to call me or text me so we could discuss a time, also asked if I could get an address so I could Google map it- I always have my phone- but am not at the computer an awful lot. No call, no text, no email. He sends me another email 2 days later (Monday) and says. "So what do you want to do about this vehicle?"



    Being that he never got back to me, and something in the email communications seemed off to me, I wrote it off- figured he sold it or whatever since he never got back to me. I was actually shocked to get the email Monday. So I send him a message saying "Thanks, but I think I am going to pass" His Response back to me "Whatever"

    Seriously? I have an adult conversation, trying to make big boy plans to meet up and buy something from you- you never get back to me and then get pissed off because I respect my time.. even though you apparently don't? Just venting.. This all comes with the territory.. but really- you put a freakin ad on Craigslist wanting to sell something.. then get mad when people aren't at your beck and call El Douche?
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
