Car for Sale
A few years ago I was selling a junk Pantera locally. I advertised for sale, 72 Pantera, basket case, rough and rusty but all parts there to make a complete car. $6500. Will deliver locally.
Several folks looked at it the first 2 days, most agreed it was priced about right, some offered trades, but no takers. Then this self proclaimed EXPERT shows up. He looks the car over to the tune of 3 hours of my time jotting down notes and boring me with his expertese. All the time while looking it over he bad mouthed the car that I tried my best not to mis-rep. Then he goes away. Later that night the same guys calls and wants a look-see again. After being 45 mins. late he looked the car over again for 2 hours with the same bad mouthing.
Then he offered me 4500$.
To that I said the price to you is now 7200$ !!! "You can't do that" he said. As I escorted him to the door. I was wrong, I said, The price for YOU is now 7500$, I never seen him again till a couple of years pasted by, thank goodness!
Bob- holding to your price of sale is a honorable thing and I commend you. But Garys right on this one. You see this guy was a tool thief, and was looking over my shop. I seen his picture in the paper later and he was on trial for home burglary!
