spoke to two sellers tonight, one a 6hr round trip away who hasnt got any photos (offered to take one of van on drive and post it to us!!) and has two awnings but dosent know what they are when we asked the make just that the full awning was adapted to fit his new van which is now 5yrs old.

The second cant send us pics til they take them at the weekend. We dont want to travel to Sussex without seeing some photos.  Maybe its just me but surely people get themselves organised before advertising their vans. I'm not the most patient person but find the waiting around so frustrating.

Savanne, that would mean people using some common sense and that unfortunately is a rapidly deminishing commodity

Hi Savanne,

Thanks for your email yesterday. I did reply but not sure if you got it as it goes through my website... Fingers crossed you got the info I was interested in.

(Sorry to everyone else for hijacking this thread also!)

I currently have an ad running and have had responses such as:

I am disabled will you deliver to site? (which probably means will you deliver to site and put it up for me and I might not like it and try and knock you down or say after you have come all this way I don't want it)

Will you send it by courier?

I have now put it on ebay and have stressed, no buy it now price, collection only and cash on collection.

Last time I sold something on ebay I asked for cash on collection (I don't want to pay paypal fees, and they paid me by paypal, grrrr!)

I think a lot of it is the ease of email. If people had to make the effort to phone they would be more likely to be seriously interested.
