Rorry, farther down on this Forum you advertised an M-37 but did not tell where it is located.
A group of us BIG SHOT POWER WAGON owners were sitting around discussing the various FOR SALE notices on Forums. Since we BIG SHOTS have the support and permission of our wives/girlfriends/significant-others to buy and sell, we jokingly decided the guys who post the partial notices are not sincere about selling. They are making a token attempt - not to actually sell - but to get someone off their backs about their trucks.
I don't know if this is your situation. I do know that when you don't give all the information up front, you will get a lot of questions. The first issue for all of us is whether the location is within reasonable hauling distance. And while we are at it, of course we'll ask you to provide us the whole information package - including pictures.
The key to success in selling something is to let as many people as possible know about it. Then, from that large number, the group of truly interested buyers will emerge. Maybe there will be no one truly interested at a particular time. That's the breaks in trying to sell anything.
It is not personal. You are not being rejected - just the item you are trying to sell.
Clue #1. There are some parts of the country where winter weather makes it difficult to pick up an item.
Clue #2. The holidays are here and some folks don't have the extra money to buy all the things they want.
If you are a seller, then sell. Give all the information available and accept the fact that you won't be 100% successful.
Don't give up on this Forum. Sharing information - whether it's about trucks for sale, getting answers to technical questions, or just sharing the fun - is what we are all here for.
Good luck.
