I've looked at a couple of used outboard motor ads of interest to me, one on eBay and one in a magazine...where both folks ignore my requests for their phone number. I want their phone number so I can ask more questions without so much typing, but also just to get a feel for who I'm dealing with.
I'm pretty sure now the eBay guy is pulling a scam, so makes sense on that one...but the other guy seems ok so far. Just wondering what possible "legimate" reasons there might be for someone selling a $3,500 and up item to not give out their phone number when it's crystal clear the interested buyer is dead serious about buying and the buyer gives his phone number, website, contact info ?
