Was online looking for a Woods L306. Found one on Facebook marketplace that looked promising, close by. I enquired if still available, indicated a relative could pick it up within a few weeks, he indicated this would work. I then enquired about how to get instructions/directions/contact info to my relative then was apparently blocked. Are sellers often this flighty???

might seem like a scam to some people... just give the phone number to your relative and have him work out the details. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

What did you expect from FLAKEBOOK??? ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits. If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

He might have sold it and blocked you to avoid a bad review for renegging promise lacking compensation to not sell it to anyone else for weeks. |

I might have paid in advance, but the conversation was terminated before it could be discussed. ------------- 1952 CA13092 |

yea... the guys that are 20 minutes away and "coming this afternoon" sure have an advantage..
i just sold a disc last week... Guy called 4 hours after it was posted.... Asked 10 questions in 5 different textssss... "I WANT IT"..... last was "Be there first thing in the morning"... Sent another text at 9 PM ( about 12 hours after listing) that he expected to get the price dropped $200. ... I told him i had 3 other calls and it would be GONE by noon then next day... Never called back... and it was GONE in 24 hours.

As a seller, I wouldn't have taken you seriously either. I just bought a Kwik-Way boring bar from a guy on FB Marketplace. He'd had the thing posted for a day. It was 3 hours away. I messaged him and asked if he was available today and if I could drive down and buy it. Got to his place and he said he had been dealing with a dozen guys messaging, trying to beat him up on price without even seeing it. He demonstrated it to me, I gave him cash, and everybody was happy. There is a large percentage of tire kickers and scammers out there, so when reaching out to folks about items for sale, always keep that in mind. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

All I can say is that I would treat people more friendly/neighborly. ------------- 1952 CA13092 |
