On the other side...selling privately is usually a total pain.
Whenever I've sold privately, I've always sent loads of detailed high-res pictures first to their emails, listing anything and everything that's right or wrong with the car, answered their calls immediately, been accommodating with their weekend times of viewing, offered them drinks on arrival, taken them around the car, showed all bills and service history, let them drive on different roads for at least 15 minutes, been polite and answered all their questions.
My cars have always been priced well under dealer's, valeted, wheels refurbed, no bodywork or mechanical issues, and my rural location is rather nice.
The result is most of them offer 30% less than the asking price and if you don't accept, they walk away- none of the Mike Brewer "I'll meet you in the middle' deals. And you never hear from them again.

Now imagine dealing with these "buyers" on a daily basis and you'll see why some car traders are so cynical...
I went to look at a car for my wife and son at the weekend. (£6000).
I told the dealer on the phone that we had just started our search and that "I wouldn't be buying today."
He said still come over and have a look, which we did.
The car was nice and we asked for a test drive.
He asked us to 'do the paperwork' first and then we could test drive it.
