I cannot understand for the life of me why people who are interested in purchasing something someone has advertised for sale and given a pretty good discription, price etc cannot get in their cars and go and see them,The paphos district is hardly the size of Alaska.
It drove me nuts when I was selling up to come back to the UK why everbody needed photos of every knife a fork.
I could see the point of them wanting to know sizes etc but to me it is pure laziness not to just go and see the items if all information is given.
Not everybody is a computer whizz kid or even has a digital camera ability etc.
But one points is right, it is bad manners for the seller or the possible purchaser not to acknowledge a private message reply.
I had plenty of those and time wasters and people wanting stuff for nothing.
And don't forget not all of us are able bodied or have cars. It is sometimes better to see the items in a photo before going to physically see them to make sure it is actually what is wanted and is in good condition rather than a wasted journey. You surely know good condition to one person means something entirely different to another.
We are not all lazy you know!
I know why people want photos of items, it is to save wasted trips if they are not what you want but my point was that Paphos district is not so far to go that people could just make the effort to save the seller all the trouble of photographing everything if they do not have the capacity to do so.
I lost count of the people who demanded photos, sizes, description etc etc only to not even acknowledge it or not turn up or turn up and not buy anyway or offer half the asking price.
You would not ring Phillippos up and ask for a photo of his sausages would you so why do people do it when buying from a private seller at a fraction of the price you would pay new in a shop.
