sorrys for long thread but please read


ok, i rang sum geezer about a s1 escort which he was selling last week. was meant to go last sunday nite but just before i left he rang me and sed it wasnt worth cumin down because propa raining which i thought was fair enuf.

bearing in mind ive prob spoke to him about 8 times now and shown i was really keen and he even sed he will try put people off so i can cum down.

ok, i sed to him i am DEFO going to cum next sunday morning but will try my best to cum one day during the week after work so i can see it in the dark first.

he then sed (after more phone calls and loads of questions and interest from me) to not bother and for me to defo cum sunday morning and he will I QUOTE defo put people off because i was so keen and an enthusiast.

sorry'''' last bit

he rang me saturday morning (yesterday) and asked if i was still cumin and i said DEFO MAN and told him i had got cash out and everything and sed i will see him 2moro morning and he said brilliant i will put people off.

as u aware im sooo excited now, i got a text last nite from him SORRY RICKY, IVE JUST SOLD MY S1 TO LOCAL LAD, SORRY YOU COULDNT SEE IT.

the thing that annoys me soooooooo much is the fact i probably spoke to him well ova 10 times because i was sooooo keen but THE FACT HE SAID HE WAS DEFO GOING TO PUT PEOPLE OFF AND LET ME BE FIRST VIEWER BECACAUSED I SHOWED SO MUCH INTEREST.

CCCUUUNNTTTTTTTT

tbh if somebody turned up with the cash I would have done the same, it's hard enough selling a car now for decent money without turning away buyers.

Sorry mate, I know its wank to think you missed out... but that looks really clean, think the price is a bit of a bargain actually, I'd have pushed to see it in the dark/middle of the night/whenever he could manage to meet me at a garage, his house, his lockup... dont see many S1's in that condition any longer and from the advert and pics, looks to have been worth putting a deposit down as soon as possible pending a real look/drive in the daylight.

End of the day, win some, lose some... think we've all been there, just gotta move on and hope another good one pops up before the money burns a hole in your pocket!!


Cheers,
Grant

its the way it is mate he cant put other buyers off for you, if he has someone seing it the day before he still has the options of you the next day if he doesnt buy, the mistake he made was he should of leveled with you told the truth and said hope you understand but its business

What probably happened was that he already had interest from it from others and just wanted to keep your appetite wet in case the other deals he had in the pipeline went tits up. Does look a minter though, has to be said.
