Mobile Phone Etiquette & Human Nature

I found exactly the same thing. Very weird behaviour.... the people that did pick up were pretty rude and treated me like a telesales person

could it be that they are agents trying to test the market?

This is unfortunately classic. For this very reason I never post my number in AsiaXpat classifieds any more. Just using the web site message interface is much less irritating.

Time wasters both ways. Around 6 months ago a friend of mine contacted a seller on AXP for something like a baby crib or similar. Seller lived on Peak and my friend who lived in NT told them he'd be up at a particular time after work, confirming with them same day by both phone and text. He called when he finished work and drove up there. When calling to say he'd arrived he got no response. He continued calling for 30 minutes until someone actually answered the phone. They then told him the item had been sold........


Obviously obscenities thrown down the phone and had he seen them......... Obviously being Peak dwellers they ain't going to come out and face up to the more tough of the species who lives in the NT.


So can go both ways on here, bad sellers, bad buyers.
