Sick of lowballers!

[Thorpe]

The thing that sucks with CL, is there is so much BS that goes along with it, nobody has any trust anymore too... Found a solid ES tank for $100 I wanted to put on my shelf, and dude was 100% unwilling to ship it. I had great communication with him, offered to pay what he asked, and even compensate him for the time and $ for shipping, and of course the shipping fees, and he told me to get bent... WTF?? I just really wanted the tank, and wasnt likely to drive 1000 miles to get it!

I list things for what I want to sell them for, or best offer, but I always get bombarded with low ball offers the first day, and I reply to those to wait and see if I still have it after a week. I don't think any trike I've listed on there has lasted that long, but I also price them to sell

I don't make offers when the price says firm however I will let them know if they decide to reduce the price to give me a shout. I think pricing something as firm is risky and scares buyers away. Just my opinion. Better off pricing high and taking offers. People like to feel they got a good deal.

almost anyone would. They are not getting any easier to find. his last txts, about 7 minutes ago was "I really want those fenders and mud flaps, is there anyway we could work something out, I don't have that much I can play with?"
I replied: "I am sure you can come up with 200.00 pretty easy for them, its not that much money"
He replied: "200? I thought you said 100.00"
I replied: " 300 firm is my final offer"
he replied: " 300, your nuts, they are only worth 50.00 tops"
I replied: " 400 or no deal"

lol, figured I should have some fun with him. I am the kind of guy with enough spite that even if he showed up with 200 cash, I would wait for him to get here and tell him to go piss off. It isn't about the money, its about the nature of the whole thing.

Too tough!! I LOVE it!! Wonder how far you are,I would buy them.!

Had the worst one ever tonight.The email reply I recieved is just unbelievable.I actually would like to meet this guy after what he wrote.He used alot of 4 letter words,probally the extent of his vocabulary.Thing that kills me I was more than honest with the guy.I put up a trailer for sale and got flooded with calls.They way I do my dealings is first come first serve.Won't remove add until title is signed over.The second guy that called wanted it so bad he offered me $150 more than advertised price.So a lowballer comes along and offered a ridiculous cash offer.I emailed him back and said was offered more than asking price.So that is when I recieved my nasty-gram via email.I was also offered full body massage or tattoo for my trike.

Didn't say if it did.Might be nice have one of those about now.

Lowballers don't bother me, but what pisses me off more than anything are Prick Teasers. Guys flood you wanting stuff. You take the time to box it up, burn your $4.00 gas to get a shipping quote, only for them to say they don't want it anymore or you never hear from them again. Or you try and be a nice guy and hold something for someone, while three potential buyers move on to the next guy, only to have the guy you held the stuff for back out.

Oh well its the price of doing business I guess.

+100 for the post above....

[Chazz of Blades]

Heh, I had a trike loaded up in the truck, drove a half hour away to the place where we were going to meet, and he never showed, never answered his phone, or text back. Was going to trade a very nice trike for an '88 F250.


I burnt a LOT of gas driving this thing up there, and burnt a LOT of gas coming back with it too.

The one dealing I had which made me laugh the most was when i was trying to sell/trade my atc250r. I had the bike listed at 2500obo and one guy e-mailed me offering $1500. He said he couldnt afford $2500 because how much gas cost. He only lived 45 min away.... hardly $1000 in gas.
