I’m selling the door opener from my second garage since replacing the 7 foot door with an 8 foot one means an overhead opener no longer fits...I just had this conversation with someone interested in it.

Interested Party: Hi, how old is the opener?

Me: I don’t know, we bought the house a few years ago. This was already there.

IP: Is the opener still connected?

Me: No, it’s disconnected. Still attached to the drive rail though.

IP: What color are the remote buttons?

Me: Um...the remotes are gray and the buttons a lighter color.

IP: *mumbles something*

Me: Sorry, what was that?

IP: Nevermind. *hangs up*

First, I don’t get why the remote button color matters.

Second, have some courtesy and say your not interested but thanks for your time before hanging up.

My theory? Older, crappier models had one color button, newer better models have different color buttons. Still doesn't explain the lack of "sorry, not interested", though.

Wow, that’s weird even for CL.

After he hung up I was just kind of confused and laughed at it.

Yeah, that’s about all you can do!

Remotes are so easily replaced (newer remotes, or if you’re under the age of 80, Homelink). I can’t believe that was a dealbreaker.

Or maybe this was a “dry run” for better crank calls. You’re just the opening act.

CL is known for setting the behavior bar really low, and people take that as permission to live down to it.

maybe they are looking for one where they can cross use their current remotes, if the buttons are different color to theirs, it wont work
