OK, it seems we've arrived at a point where it's become necessary to post a "how to respond to my Sturm ads" instructional guide.
I've had a number of people respond to my WTS ads with just "send pics", no name, no introductions, no I'm interested in buying, no phone #...nothing, zip.
How rude is that? Very in my book.
And the reason I should send pics to you is ....?
You are; a serious buyer, a troll, a pic collector, Dana Reed, or one of the other various and sundry scammers, idiots and crank yankers that troll these boards?
Sorry, I have neither the time nor inclination to answer anonymous requests of this nature. I don't care if you have a board moniker or not, I want a real name and contact #.
I want to know who I'm communicating with.
Is it asking so much to post your name at least?
When I list an item for sale I post my name and contact info and I expect you to do the same in your emails to me about the ad.
Has it evolved to a time where no-one has the time, nor good manners to identify themselves in a potential transaction?
Sorry not in my world.
When you respond to one of my ads with merely "send pics" with no name, no contact info, no way to identify who I'm entering into a conversation/potential sale with, you won't be getting a response from me.
If you identify yourself in an email to me with a name and contact number or email address, I'll be glad to answer any questions you have about what it is I'm selling, and if you are a serious buyer with cash in hand, that wants to buy what I have listed...I'll send you all the pics you want.
But.....
If you're a pic collector, a tire kicker, have insufficient funds to buy what I have listed, a troll, or that fat ass whale turd Dana Reed, please don't bother!!
And now a BIG thank you to all of the recent buyers I've done business with, while selling off my C3 collection. This venue has been invaluable to me with these sales, a source of great information over the years, in addition to the great friendships that have developed from Sturm over the last 16 years.
Thank you again David and Andy.
