Do not deal with "OLY". The guy's name is actually Mark. This guy has a '59 Beetle ragtop listed for sale for $15,000. This is the ad

A few months ago he ran the same ad. I contacted him and an email dialogue ensued. Mark stated that it was "his" car and that "he" had "owned" the car for many years. He claimed that the original owner of the car was his wife's mother. I offered him $8,000 for the car, and he said that was fine by him BUT he would have to check with his wife because it was "actually her car". This was a surprise as it he had already represented that he owned the car. So, Mark came back to me and said that his wife declined my offer and that she was "waiting for the magic number". I offered $9,000, and he came back and said his wife said that she wanted $10,000. So, I agreed to $10,000. Then, Mark said, "No, my wife wants more." This process was complete B.S. So, my recommendation is that if you want to buy the car that "OLY" has listed for sale, make sure you speak to his wife.
