First to ignore are the texters lol either trying to get you to call them, or trying to hold a conversation via text rather than making a call.

the dead heads are the ones who don't ask the questions you would expect. Usually start with "what you going to take on it" just hang up at that point. "are you open to offers" is ok but trying to fix a bottom price before seeing and moments into the call says it all.

The others that say "have you had many look at it" - these are the people that are looking to try and batter you down, same as "how long you had it up for sale" fob them off - wasters.

If they ask the right questions, stuff you'd expect ,mot,tax,history,owners,mileage,hpi etc and organise a day to come down and want to get to you asap then they are often more genuine and keen to get fixed up.

It's a mind field, but you tend to just know when someone is a dreamer.
