Car sellers: What's in a name?

[E CLASS]

You see a car, read the ad, like what you see and then you see the name of the seller at the bottom and think errr not for me.

i.e.

Big Tam

Is it just me or is anyone else put off by some names?

It's you - there's no connection between name and person, just now't as queer as folk.

Mind you I'd be concerned about buying anything from Richard Sole .

I kind of know where you are coming from , sellers with names like 'turbonutterba$tard' and 'kickboxingblud' and the like just give off the impression that the cars will have been ragged and in the hands of the wrong sort of people ...

I'm probably wrong , but that's how it can come across.

Read Freakonomics on the subject of names and you would automatically consider them important and relevant.

Photos, descriptions, names etc, all important.

If you're names Arthur Daley it might be best not to mention it.

OK so there is a little support on this for me then!

Just think about the names of the dealers getting big money for the 80s and 90s mercedes. Charles Ironside, Nick Froome, Jonathon Aucott, Peter Lewis. It may be unfair but the name does convey an image. Choose your parents carefully.

Those names convey nothing to me, if one had been called Quentin Ruffles-Bagshot however....
