@Joe Cassandra again, I'm completely in-line with @Account Closed too. You all understand the message.

Annoyed is the word. I will talk to anyone who puts in more effort than a template. I understand the grind, I even like the hustle, and I do appreciate that wholesalers serve a market that is undeserved. But, the auto-pilot pay for a service, send 10,000 mailers, talk to 10-20 people can't scale to infinity. Although y'all seem to be trying.

And Nicky is also right about their identity too. What are they hiding that they are spoofing numbers, won't tell me the potential buyer name, won't disclose the LLC they are going to purchase with, won't disclose anything. Yet, they can call/text me any time of day without any problems?

This thread has gained some traction. It's not because we're all smug. 

@Account Closed that is a fantastic question. For me - It's the mindless, go to a class, buy a list, hire someone remote to make calls for you, all with the same gimmicks and templates to waste my time. So mindless, they are sending postcards to ask to buy PO Boxes and houses people have sold already. When they finally get around to making an offer, it's generally absurdly low. Maybe the most frustrating of all - they know literally nothing about the property they are inquiring about, other than the address.

They throw things at the wall (gimmicks and templates), sometimes it sticks. Big win for Johnny! He underpaid ma-maw, who was in a tough spot, and made a quick > $10k  because she got his phone call (or post card), was uninformed about market value for her house, and sold for quick cash. 

If you want to NOT waste someone's time just do a little due diligence and have enough respect to know what you're inquiring about before you reach out.

@Troy Albers @Jerryll Noorden @Nicky Reader @Bruce Runn - So much smh from all the calls. I agree with each one of you and will try to work in some of your procedures in the next series of calls and texts.

Sometimes I say - I want more than you want to pay. I've been considering asking them if they'll pay say $50,000 (something way under value), then every time they send me a contract for that amount, be like, eh, I've changed my mind, how about $60,000 and keep moving the price up.

My current main goal is to waste as much of their time is possible, while limiting the amount of time I spend on it. I'm working on systems to get them to do as much work as possible, while I wait for them to contact me again, so I can them put them back to work.

To those who are tired of the hassle. What are your preferred ways to reduce the amount of volume? 
Based on responses so far, changing a phone number to google voice might be the winner.

I've tried having them add me to buyer list, but then I find myself in a catch-22 described by @joe cassandra. I no longer ask to be on the buyer list, it doesn't help and I do not want to be on any list with wholesalers.
I've tried about 100 different approaches to answering calls and texts.
They rarely provide contact info, almost always call from some kind of bogus number showing a local(ish) area code, and then they ask me about 100 questions about my property which they clearly haven't researched.
The best I've come up with is saying, "No thanks, and please take me off your contact list." But the volume keeps coming, it's not like I can track who's calling and texting since they use numbers that aren't their own.

Also, I have a day job. While I'd love to make their life harder, I'd rather spend my day and time doing proactive things that add positivity to this crazy world we're living in. Spending my free time sending negative energy their way is a waste for more than one group.

I'd really just like to see wholesalers use some danm common sense instead of just doing what their mentor told them works. "One out of a million huh, so your saying there's a chance!" should be their motto.

Daily texts, calls and postcards. Anyone else just absolutely worn out? Everyone has the same pitch too.
