Buyers and Sellers ever Speak by Phone Anymore?

With email, it seems that we never have to speak with the person we're buying from and selling to over the 'Gon, which kinda reduces the personalness of it all. Or maybe I'm just crazy. Do you feel the same way? Out of all the transactions you've made, about how may required a phone call to discuss?

I certainly find it reassuring to speak with someone when either buying or selling important items. (Are they all) It's surprising to me that some times others don't feel the same. I think language differences play a part sometimes. To each their own.

I prefer to talk to the seller (have not sold anything yet) when it is a major component like cd player - amp or anything that cost more than a couple of hundred dollars. That makes me more comfortable regarding the transaction.

I usually like to talk with the seller on big ticket items, over maybe $800 or so, just to make sure they don't flake out.

Speaking to the seller (I really only purchase items) is a must for me (especially high-ticket items).

Yes, I like to speak with a seller before I buy. If a seller does not have time to speak with me (as happened recently here) then I do not have time to give him my money.
