For me I'm old school and always like to talk to someone on the phone before getting too serious about buying something that isn't close to home. It's amazing how many times my gut feeling for a situation has changed one way or the other between an email or text message and a phone conversation.
Same here. Speaking on phone you get a good or bad feeling. I've asked a specific question and then gotten a quick sort of answer and then the seller tries to move on to another selling point. Red Flag.
