I look at the " new " 2 day ads every morn.Just wondering why ppl list vehicles for sale with " I want to sell it to somebody who will fulfill this dream" or " Hopling to sell to someone who will not just repaint this one" or other such silliness. I don't see where anyone buying a car is having any intentions but their own. Why are such sellers parting with the vehicle seeking more than monetary satisfaction? How about --as a buyer, " Sell it to me for -$- less and I will never repaint it" or " It will remain 100 correct stock if you have the parts to include,!" I can't imagine making a purchase with the promise of status quo included.
Whenever I have parted with any vehicle in the past including all kinds, my intent has always been to expedite it's sale and departure, with the price minimum already a hard figure.
The satisfaction of seeing it go away quickly after the decision to sell has been made is where the good emotions come in. _________________ "A life of peace and happiness depends on your own gratefulness" |

I have found that trying to get into others heads can be fraught with frustration.
Different folks, different motivations. |

My opinion.
It's futile to try and control other people's actions. When you sell something (or gift it), it is the property of the receiver and they are free to do what they wish. _________________ Donate to TheSamba.com

If youβre talking about the bus with the rotted homemade camper kit inside it, well my opinion is he got it cheap made promises and flipping for profit. Now he wants to make a buck and assuage his guilt by making the buyer fulfill his promises. If he truly had to move a project on he would sell a project without sentiment or put a price on this one not a make an offer and ill profit as much as I can on the hollow promises I needed to make to buy this thing. Either come clean on your price and pass it on without a profit or kiss my ass if I buy it Iβm tossing that crap interior and slamming it! His story is seven layers deep a sure sign of it being bull shit! _________________ Looking for anything from Hal Casey Motors out of Hamburg New York, from license plate surrounds to matchbooks.

β make offer β equals flipper. I wish EB would charge a listing fee based on ask of $100 for make offer or no realistic price posted.
Refundable to seller within 30 days of listing , on a verified buyer action _________________ πΊπΈ πΊπΈ πΊπΈ πΊπΈ πΊπΈ πΊπΈ πΊπΈ π π π |
