Hi,
I'm a new member still searching for my first Bus. One Question, I keep seeing the acronym YTM on certain classified adds. Can anyone tell me what this means?

For example, today I saw a new posting for a nice 15 window and the add reads "YTM Offers" I get the offer part, but not the YTM.

Oh, and by the way, I why am I having trouble getting a message back from people selling their buses? Is it because I am a newbie?

I expressed interest in a few buses and have emailed and not heard back from the individuals.

For example, this morning, I emailed someone in Kansas about their 15 window and have not heard back. Granite, they might be away from their computer, but I have emailed about a few other buses and not heard back.

Just curious if there is a way for me to be more credible when trying to reach a person selling?

Thank you for the response.

Spitty

^^ yup.. Similar as to saying "Best offer" for not being set on a price.


About sellers emailing back on inquires -- give them time to respond, or just skip over them entirely if they don't contact you back.. after reasonable amount of time has passed.

Or check your Spam-box in your email to see if their message ended up there.

IIRC, Blank here is a member of the grammar police on the Samba. We are very particular about this FWIW.
