Auction Buyer Personality Types

It helps to remember that buyers all have different needs, and personality types when you are dealing with them. Here are some of the personality types you may need to spend extra time on :

The Impatient Buyer
People are impatient and want their goods fast. The "Antsy Buyer" is the embodiment of this time honored sales principle. Be patient with them... explain things.

The Post-Auction Heckler
Post auction heckler's think that the bargaining begins when the auction ends. Put your foot down. Tell them no unless you have time for it.

The Unhappy Buyer
Some folks will be disappointed with your product or service regardless of how good it is. Someone cut them off in traffic and they're taking it out on you.

The Deadbeat
The most irritating bidder in the world is the one who tells you, "The check is in the mail"- of course it never comes... 1-4% of your auctions will end this way.
