I've been buying and selling since the late 80's, but not until the interwebs have I experienced these issues. I guess it is the wide exposure, and the money involved that makes things difficult. Almost makes it not worth the hassle. |
There's also a lot more bus owners in Cal than any other state. That might have something to do with it. I get flaky buyers from all over the world, but yeah, more from cal but I also sell more to cal than any other part of the U.S.

Exactly that's why I didn't even engage in that comment ....anyone with "real world reality" experience I would think could make that correlation😉..that comment went to a whole nother level of funny to me

I remember encountering flakes from back in the SOTO classified ad days..Don't really think it's an internet thing just a people in general thing. I think the non personal nature of doing business over the internet makes it easier for people to flake out and harder to read buyers. |

I might be a flake, I usually have money but even when I don't I look for and call on stuff for sale, is that wrong? I mean I might be broke as a joke today but who knows what tomorrow brings, so I might call you about your stuff and have not a penny to my name, sorry bout that!

"30% of this bus is rust. Very rusty and missing lots of metal. Walk through section has been cut. Engine area cut. Entire floors will need replacing. Missing sunroof and all seats. In addition to major metal surgery, this bus needs all the small and major original interior & exterior parts. "
I don't need to see pics.

It was more a comment on the rash of single photo ads for 20k+ buses. But your right, this one sounds like a gem.
