I take it you’re not a big fan of the negotiating process, then?
I agree, guy was kind of a dick. If he wanted the AC fixed, what he should have done was offer to pay you a higher price for fixing it.
I once declined a sale because the customer - after getting exactly the guitar he ordered - decided that he just HAD to have myrtle wood appliqué along the sides. For the same price.

The advertisement has not even been up 24 hours...
At this point the only thing I am.willing to negotiate is the time they come look at it...
Cheap as I have it priced I ain't coming down a nickle...
If they want to lose the deal because they can't beat me down - fuck 'em.....

Would you be willing to fix the AC if someone paid you to do so, over and above the current asking price?

We got new appliances in December. I listed the fridge and range for sale. The dishwasher wasn't worth anything and the microwave didn't survive removal intact. I clearly stated that there was a leak in the water line to the ice maker and water dispenser. We hadn't used either in a long time but I am sure it could have been fixed by someone so inclined.
Had several people ask if the ice maker/water dispenser worked or if we would be willing to fix it. If it had mattered to us enough to fix it, we would have.
Sold it to a guy whose garage beer fridge had given up the ghost. I reminded him about the water line leak and he was fine with that.
Some people don't read all the words or they read what they want it to say. We just wanted the damn thing out of here. It was a bonus to make a few bucks and not have to deal with disposal of an appliance.
