Bender Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 @fastbob It's worse than waiting for game of thrones Quote
oldgrump Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Hi [mention]fastbob[/mention] Keeping my fingers crossed for you mate, I know how you feel. Hate that feeling when people don't turn up, I pace the bloody house .Until the Missus say's sit down and shut up, they will be here, and 9 times out of 10 she's right Good luck Sunday. Quote
Tango Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 He sounds legit, Bob.....just another couple of days to wait before that money burns a hole in your pocket.... Quote
fastbob Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 Well it's fast approaching 10:00 am and still no response from this prospective buyer.He said he would text me on Thursday but didn't although in his previous text he did say maybe Sunday. In the interim I sent a text expressing my concern for his son ,who was apparently attacked, asking him to clarify his intentions. There was no reply to this text at all which does not fill me with hope. I don't want to offend the guy by being too pushy because it's quite possible that his son was very seriously hurt and he has spent the last few days at his bedside in hospital. On the other hand he might be a complete fantasist who just wanted to sit on a GSXR 1100 . Either way this is really doing my head in. Quote
Tango Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Frustrating, mate.......I'd text him and lay it on the line, but in a tactful kinda way......"Hi mate, just want to confirm if you still want the bike. If you've had a change of heart that's OK, but please let me know, as I need to sell it and I'll need to readvertise it ASAP. Many thanks.....etc" Quote

If you've had a change of heart that's OK, but please let me know, as I need to sell it and I'll need to readvertise it ASAP. Many thanks.....etc" Thats pretty much word for word what I will do I think. On reflection , when he came to see it he said he had to do some "Checks" Well given that I've got the V5 and the HPI check and you can check tax and MOT on a phone in seconds , what checks was he refering to ? There's a cashpoint a hundred yards from my house so what's the deal here ? Quote

fastbob Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 hopes he’s not bob , but he sounds like a messer to me . I'm giving it till noon but I'll leave the door open to him just in case he has a legitimate reason for being out of touch. But I'd really like to know one way or the other. Quote

Uncertainty is the one thing that really brings my Asperger's to the fore so this has not been a pleasant weekend. Quote

Bianco2564 Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Hope it all falls into place.Don't get why the buyer didn't leave a deposit when he viewed it, I always go prepared with the money when looking at cars or bikes. Quote

Hoggs Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Oh I saw updates and was hoping for a happy bikeless Bob! hope it's sorted this afternoon Bob, I hate waiting uncertainty too Quote
fastbob Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 14: 30 he said . It's now 14:50 . Is this some kind of cruel game ? Why can't he text to say he's running late ? I can't take much more of this nonsense. That's most of my Sunday wasted now , I could be out on my bike right now. Quote
learningtofly Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Just caught up with this thread... hope all is sorted today, Bob, but try not to worry one way or another. Quote
fastbob Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 It's off , he states that his son has taken a turn for the worse and that the bike is "Just not meant to be " To be honest I'm 50/50 whether to believe any of this stuff about his son . It's all deeply disappointing. Quote
Hoggs Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 that sucks. It's a tough one because I don't want to believe people make up stuff like that... But it does seem a bit sketchy Here's hoping you get another bite soon Quote
Bender Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Sounds like a crock of proverbial to me, Twat. Quote

skyrider Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 I know exactly what you have gone through Bob I used to get the same when I was selling vehicles on auto trader a lot of years ago, people said they would turn up on a day agreed and that was the last I heard of them b******s Quote
Tango Posted April 14, 2019 Posted April 14, 2019 Gutted for you, mate.......hopefully you'll be more successful next time..... Quote
fastbob Posted April 17, 2019 Author Posted April 17, 2019 Got another buyer on the hook but I won't bore you guys with a running commentary this time ! Quote
