Always happens. My dad used to get fed up with it when he was selling cars for a living.

It's out of Order ScoobyNutta

I'm in the process of getting a new bike. To be honest I will part ex my current bike at the dealers - less hassle. I know I will get less for it but if I sell it privately the hassle might be too much.

It's common courtesy as well if I had booked to see your car, and I could'nt for whatever reason I would have called you straight away to make my apologies.

Cheers

You what? This happened in Majors Britain, Thatchers Britains, Heaths Britain etc..... Although I agree that general rudeness and letting people down is more apparent these days.

I hate to say it, but when I was selling my my99, the majority of the 'no show' offenders were people from Scoobynet

Including one guy who I arranged to meet 1/2 way (a 40 mile trip for me) to save the guy some travelling time
We'd exchanged plenty of e-mails and I'd taken and sent him detailed pics of particular bits of the car he wanted.....
He then chooses not to show and switchs off his mobile accordingly

Common decency/manners is a dying art

Agreed, good manners and common courtesy costs nothing:

I phoned the chap who I bought my scooby off to tell him that I might be late, as the train journey seemed to be going very slowly....or maybe it just seemed that way!!

So they know how much they are going for which is NOT the same as what they are advertised for.

Probably, but how much time have they wasted? 10 seconds just to ask? No harm in it to ask a couple of questions for reference.
