if you have a problem with that then have a nice day.
geez, the crap someone has to put up with trying to sell something.
The whole world does not get on here for your phone #, they use the phone book and white pages database. The # is a great tool to help sell your item that is why it should be with the ad, Sorry !
Moon-
Just one thing-
Email gives you an excellent papertrail for documentation purposes- key when you are dealing on line and where there are so many opportunities these days to get scammed.
I agree that a phone number shows credibility, but I also tend to think those days are rapidly dissappearing
Check this forum- how many deals mention phone discussions where there is no paper trail.
When you think about it, as a scammer would you rather give all the info verbally or would you rather have it all in writing and traceable?
Things are getting weird these days huh?
So while a phone number is useful to determine credibility, I want all my discussions regarding the transaction in writing, so that if the deal goes bad - I have some element of legal leverage.
I think that new times must cause us to think differently. I dont know if the absence of a phone number is a signal of risk anymore.
