We had somebody sell us a car for cheaper than other offers they got, because we seemed like the right people. I wasn't going to argue with them.
I sold a dirt bike to an older guy from Wyoming for less then several other offers because he came and looked at it, made a good case for what it needed and reduced his offer by that much. The other offers were texts saying, I can come get it today if you'll take XXXX.

In reality you probably didn't sell it for less, those texters wouldn't have paid full price or even shown up.

I’ve been putting off listing my wife’s GX for sale cause of this thread....🤦🏻‍♂️ Hopefully it’s not a train wreck.
 

UNSTUCK

But stuck more often.
Here's a new one... I went to look at a new car for my mother in law tonight. We liked it. I said, 'ok, we'll take it'. Didn't even barter.

The lady responded that she had a couple people see it already, and has a couple scheduled to see it tomorrow, and wants to wait for them to look at it also. After everyone who called has had a chance to look at it, she is going to sell it to the person who she thinks is going to be the 'best fit' for the vehicle.

I was standing in her driveway with a large amount of cash.. and she turned us away. 🤷‍♂️ We laughed all the way home at how odd that was.
Just tell her you’re sponge worthy. Works every time.

I am relieved that you didn't say she was going to have everyone submit it heir highest bid. Cash offers get preference...

Nothing irritates me more than the question of "Whats your lowest cash price?"

Even worse are old man phrases like "Whats your cash n carry price?" or, "Whats your best price cash in hand?"

This aggravates me so much. If you want to haggle, come look at it and then tell me why it's worth less than I'm asking. But don't expect me to do your haggling for you.

I had a weird one over the weekend, I found a new listing for a fixer upper, non-operational truck that I wanted to purchase and flip.

I messaged the buyer and told him I would pay his asking price, had a trailer ready, cash in hand and could pick it up that day. I was more than willing to drive 90 min to buy this truck, without hesitating.

He has been dicking me around on any information and ended up telling me that now he wants to get it running and driving and work on some of the problems before selling it.

I'm confused... why list it on the first place? I'm sure the price will go up after he works on it..... and I'll walk away.

With the recent posting of my trailer all the crap has been from Facebook. Here is one feom this morning. I told him to have a nice day and read above. I am flexible some but come negotiate face to face. Screenshot_20220413-084729_Messenger.jpg

Sold a KTM 65 this week. Dude pulls up in a brand new dually with a 40 ft 5th wheel toy hauler and 3 mini bikes for his kid that races (50cc, 65cc and a backup 65cc) brags about replacing them at 50 hours. Then commences to lowball me like 10 times about $200. You can't brag about how baller you are and then be a dick over 5% discount. People are funny.
