I probably get less than 50% hit rate on responses to ads I ask about. Despite sending notes with my name and contact details, people just dont respond.

Is there a way to get responses back, or does stuff just sell quickly and get left?

Well I asked about a car....I put the following....



Hi,

I am in interested in the car, I have a few questions but would be keen to come and see it. My mobile number is xxxxxxx, please drop a text or mail on when would be convenient.

Regards

Hugh



Nothing back.... I sent a chaser a few days later, similar lines, but saying you might not have got first note, and I'm keen etc. etc. ---- nothing.....

Not the first time. When I last looked for a car, the first 10 ads I responded to, I got details back from 3. The others were dead....even 2 days after they were posted.

Oh if anyone knows anything about 996 GT3 on dubizzle, like the who the owner is, please let me know. :-)

I understand not wanting to mess around with people who get cars checked, however, I got both of ours checked at garages. If you buying a 100,000AED car, spending 500AED to check the stuff you cant - just makes sense.

The story of this one is now complete. The chap did come back to me, and I went to see the car (next day, couldnt make it that eve). Not the one for me. However, I did mail the chap to let him know that I didnt want to buy it.
