Selling stuff rant

How about lowballing?

Had someone on this site PM about a gun I was selling. Drove 50 miles to save him some $$$ and time. Met him and after he wasted 10 minutes looking at the LNIB gun he offered $100 LESS than we agreed PMing. Mentioned price being too high and "Gunbroker" selling price lower than mine. Pissed, I told him to pound sand and left without sale. He PMed me that night, apologized, and wanted to meet again. Yeah, right. Won't mention his name here but...see him posting fairly often!!!

I've had something similar to that happen to me recently. Don't set up a meeting with the premise that you are buying an item for sale and then offer less after wasting ten minutes of my time - especially if the item is better than described (by this person's admission). If you want to discuss a lower price, mention that prior to setting up a "I want to buy your ___. When can we meet?". This person was from another site, so I won't post any info on him.

I definitely would have laughed in his face on that one. then walked away and drove off.

I think I was a little shocked. When he came up short ,ok. The gas money was just over the top.

I'm currently trying to sell a car, but the idiots I've delt with are amazing.

Who on earth allows a total stranger to make payments on a used car? Seriously, the last 3 cars I've sold I'll have some idiot ask about a payment plan (they usually sound like a ghetto rat on the phone or type like this in email: "Yo, U take paymenz?").

People that say "Sure, I'll come by and look at the car at 6pm" and then never show up, never call, never email ... unless its to email two weeks later asking if you still have the car for sale.

Then there's the guy in [insert shit-hole 3rd world country] that honestly thinks you're going to ship the car and the extra cash to his cousin in Florida after he sends you a 3rd party check for twice the amount ... really? That works?

Yep, it's time for the weekly rant about the FS section.

I'm trying to BUY a car, and yea, most of them are 'American' but, bejeesus....

Did you replace the belts on it yet?

'Oh yea, my friend did that'

Uhm, well, do you have his name and number?

Oh, well, he was working at the shop, he gone now.

So, no receipts on servicing the vehicle? No mileage on the BELTS which MUST BE REPLACED EVERY (90,000) MILES OR IT COULD SCREW UP THE VALVES IF IT BREAKS??????


You can take a third worlder out of the third world, but you can't take the ....well, you know......


Like, 5-6 calls.

Yea, the 'white' yuppie guys: Oh, yes, I have ALL the receipts of when the belts, oil change, etc.....

Makes you wanna >>>>>>>>>> a libtard or 12 or ....100...

Another I can't stand to see is:

"No cash price but if you want to buy make an offer. Low ball offers will be ignored."

If you have something for sale put a price on it and if you don't want to be low-balled then put a price on it. This forum does a very well job of keeping up on it unlike others on armslist.
