[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1841050, member: 42463"] Tell them you'll only consider their offer if they send it with substantial earnest money which will be non-refundable regardless of whether you accept the offer. Actually... any kind of contact with them would probably be a bad idea. I did discourage a company that was preying on a lot of people in Arkansas. They did a lot of phone soliciting to sell people very expensive siding and windows. They called one day (after calling about once a week for months) and I had just sold the farm out in the country. So I acted all excited and said that they called at the right time because I needed siding on TWO houses. I told them I had call forwarding (remember that?) and they could call the number they'd just called and it would transfer to the farm out in the country. I gave them directions... at this corner you'll see an old blue truck, at this corner you'll see a giant tree with a limb broken on the ground, etc... and then I gave them one wrong turn. This was before cell phones. The guy called about a half hour later than the appointment was and I asked him if he'd seen the pick-up, the tree, etc... and then I told him he missed a turn and gave him another wrong turn. He called back three times, me acting like I was madder each time and finally calling him an idiot because he couldn't follow simple directions. They never called me back. And I don't feel bad at all. [/QUOTE]
