Don' t insult the seller.

A few weeks ago, I came home and found a note stuck in my door.

Some guy was interested in buying my Chevy S10 4x4 - a ratty old work truck I had parked next to the barn. I had been considering selling it - so I called the number he left.

Talking to the guy - he struck me as a dipshit. He cemented that, when I asked him what he was thinking of - price wise. ( after all, I wasn't advertising it as being for sale).

"How does FREE sound?"

Uhhh.. It sounds like the wrong answer - but thanks for playing..

Click !!!! I hang up.

I make a quick note of the guy' s number - and memorize the last 4 digits.

...

A couple weeks go by - and I decide to sell - and put it online for "x".

I park it out front with a for sale sign.

Sure as shit - the dipshit is the first to call. He offered 1/2 " x"...

Wrong answer.

He' s called several more times - whining, and offering a few pence more each time.

I have one girl who has offered " almost X" - and will probably take that..

I'm holding out for the dipshit to call back offering " X", so I can tell him that for him - it' s X +......

I can't blame people for being hopeful and trying to save a few dollars, but I can blame them for being disconnected from reality. The last time I sold a car I described the car's condition very well, listed what the KBB value was for a car in that condition, and listed my price slightly less than the KBB value. I said very clearly in my ad that I was very firm on this price and that I would not negotiate the price, and that I was not interested in any trades. My price was $4200. Within a couple of hours a guy contacted me with an offer of $2800. I asked him if he would give me $5800. He said, "What? That makes no sense."

My wife owns an antique shop in the town.  Some months ago, a customer was interested in a Waterford drinks set priced at $700.  He said to my wife, 'I'll give you $400.'

Ellen answered, 'That'll be lovely!  Of course if you want the crystal, it'll be $700.'

We bought a 96 Saturn SC2 last week - clean - only real problem is a non- critical crack in the windshield. The windshields for these are pricey due to the 90 degree corner wraps - and I pointed it out to the seller that a new original style windshield goes for $400 installed.

I then asked his best cash on spot price. He said he' d go half the windshield - making the price $1000.

I whipped out ten dead Bens for him.


Everybody happy.

( we then drove it the 2 1/2 hours home with no problems - it' s the last time it will see winter driving. This sucker is CLEAN)

When I was collecting gun with military history I was offered one of the Gatling guns that Custer failed to take to Little Big Horn with him. The guy wanted 25K U$D for it, delivered. I asked him if I could see the paper trail. He said he had to charge for that. I said thanks and stoppd talking to him.

Yeah - it was probably going to run a few bucks for him to get some "providence papers" made up at Kinko's.....

Turned out he was legit, but a bit of PITA about extracting the last ducat.

I didn't have a proper place to store the thing anyway.
