unbelivable question asked when selling a boat!

Re: unbelivable question asked when selling a boat!

Yeah but the really irritating one's are those that offer $50 on an item that's listed for $2000, and maybe the cheapest competition even for a junk one is $1500.

That's when you counter offer $2050.00 and when he makes another stupid offer, add it to the asking price. Sooner or later they will get the hint.

Re: unbelivable question asked when selling a boat!

If I had an item worth a couple grand I'd do that. When I sold my wife's old car, it just kind of worked out that way. I had 3 people show up right around the same time and they were all drooling over the car. First person paid the asking price and the other 2 left pizzed off that they didn't get to buy it. Probably should have been asking more...

I don't take offense to people asking my bottom line, I mark it up a bit expecting to drop it. But,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, once I tell them my bottom dollar that's it, I'm not going any lower.

Here's a good 2nd hand story of my friend selling (lets call it) a widget for $1000.
- Buyer, could do any better on the price?
- Friend, sure, that will be $1100.
- Buyer, no you don't understand I was asking if you could lower the price.
- Friend, no
- Buyer, OK I'll take it for $1000
- Friend, no,,, the price is $1100
- Buyer,,,, Oh....
it was sold for $1100

Had I been the buyer, I'd have told the friend to go pound sand.
