how many of you get a call or email asking to send pics, and don't get any response. Or I see your ad I'm really interested in your game and I would like to come see it. So you respond and tell them sure and never hear from them. Why do people waste there time and yours by not responding.All You want is a simple response saying not interested or not what I was looking for. I think people just want to see the pretty pictures. My favourite is when you send them all the info and them respond I have no money at this time then why the f%&k are you saying you want it. Sorry just need to vent

Just one of the things that goes along with selling something, thats why when I sell a machine I just spend a little more time and throw all the pictures up on a website somwhere, saves time when someone wants pictures, just point them to the URL instead of having to send people the same pictures over and over again.

I get that allot but hey it is part of the hobby.

Happens all the time and I understand your venting. Just last night I get a reply to an ad I have on Kijiji for a limited edition art print I put for sale. It has a picture already included.

The first email: Is still available. I respond Yes

The second email: what are the numbers on the print. I send the numbers

The third email: What is the size of the print. I send the measurements.

The fourth email: Where are you located?. The ad clearly states Mississauga, but I reply with my address.

All this happens within, 20 minutes. And the silence.......................No reply or response. Probably never hear from him again like the many before him. I like Dave Lichaa, in Rochester NY ads. He states: Serious buyers only, will only send pictures to serious buyer after we have spoken on the phone. I am sure that eliminates tirekickers.  

these are all good ideas, I always appreciate the input

And when you'll return from work tonight, the house 'll be emptied (print included)...  I never meet at my house for stuff that's portable.  I don't like giving my address, especially to someone I don't know, and who wants something that I have.

I guess here is a good question what is the ettiquite for tire kickers, it obvious in this post that people who were asking the questions should have responded and either said I'm not showing up or thanks for you time but it's out of my price range.  

But as an example, I was thinking of buying this LOTR topper for my LOTR. I really like it allot.

But his picture only has a pic of the item and his email, no price, no payment options, no shipping costs.  So I email him asking for a price, payment method and shipping cost.  He emails me back saying it was $89 for the topper and $20 for shipping and he will accept paypal.  

$100 is a little more then I want to spend right now on a topper as I have some other things coming down the pipe, but I wasn't planning on emailing to tell him I won't be buying one.  Would you bother and email and say no thanks or just leave it at that?  Does that make me a Tire Kicker ?

Good point, but by address I gave the closet main intersection.

Good move

I on the other hand do not have a main intersection in my closet but then again I don't live in a mansion

Yes.

D'oh!  Ok I replied back saying that's for the info but won't be buying one

Posting pictures and a realistic description of the game eliminates everything imo.

This will, at least, get passed the ones requesting pics, real buyers will ask for a pic or two of specific areas not shown in the ones you posted or will go see it in person.

Also, i never really get mad at anyone asking for informations. They may not buy it but may eventually buy something else you will have for sale. I never get mad at the lowballers either, i just say "no thanks"... i been in a situation where i wished i had accepted a lowball offer i had before, so i always keep all offers in mind, even the low ones... sometimes the first offer is the best one you will ever get (been there).

This is just my opinion, of course. I hate rude sellers myself, getting replies like i got this week from a maaca seller just make sure i will never buy anything you have for sale, even at 20$. When you have 60 games for sale and in only for the money, at least be kind with the buyers...
