AS im sure u all know Im into Harley Davidson motorcycles, and when we put one of these up for sale we would get many phone calls from people that have no intent of buying the bike (tyre kickers), but wana have a test drive (joyride) for free. The way I weed these people out is when they ask if they can take it for a ride is “put the amount im asking for the bike say its $25,000 on the table and then u can take if for a ride as long as u like and when the bike returns in good order I will return your money if not then u bought it. Guess what no one has ever test ridden any of my bikes but I have sold many. The real interested buyers say they are happy to sit on the back as im a professional rider anyway. I hope this comparison helps.

Many mates of mine are into hi performance American cars and same thing, the amount of people that want to take these cars for a drive but don’t wana buy is amazing. These people are called tyre kickers.

I believe thats where the term Tyre kickers originates from.

Tyre kicker in my opion is just a pure time waster. Some one that has no intent of buying , but every intent in obtaining information., Basically some one that isnt serious to begin with but pretends to be.

Hi Chan$

That does sound a bit ludicrous. All I want is a signed piece of paper to state whatever info I give u is private and confidential, and that either u or any one u know will not chase up the deals privately. So we would need a contract, but I find many ips mate, that meet the 11sec solution and love finding them. I would ideally like to find one person I can work closely together with in JV’s ideally. I have the time and the ability to do good deals but limited on cash. Commission to be payed upon settlement. Commissions may differ from property to property depending on how much it cost me to find. But mostly b/w $1000-2000. I would prefer JV however where it’s a partnership with out commission. Makes me work harder and keeps me on my toes and responsible for my actions.

I do understand why DD is doing what they doing tho to weed out he tyre kickers. But I also believe it scares away genuine people.
