The "dumb offers" thread

[_R_J_K_]

I think it goes both ways. It shows how much people over value their crap. This thread is an excellent read - selling your car and crazy low balling buyers stories - Hardtuned.net

This was on gumtree, i learn't, only allow email replies. don't allow a mobile number... u get txt's at 2am!

I think this would filter out a lot of crap too as the drop kicks who swap their car for another every week couldn't be assed to log in to an email account.

I had a car advertised for $15,000 on behalf of a family member.

Had one guy call up and continually offer 10k. His reasoning was "10k is a lotta cash man, when you see it you'll change your mind"

I told him not really, as it is less than the 15,000 I was advertising for.

The "generous offer" attitude definitely rings true. :hmmm:

Those guys are idiots. You never get the asking price. The advertised price should be a bit more than what you're actually after. There was a Ducati Monster advertised for $6,500, I offered $5,500 and they accepted. Dad was looking at a VE Z series wagon for $34,000 and got it for $32,000.

His reasoning was the same as alot of you have had . "Its alot of stuff for one bike man"

I had an SS VT for sale and some douche wanted to swap a "good quality" Jackaroo for it of course at same value.
I ended up stripping the car for parts as it didn't sell. I had the guys number still in my phone, he rolled up to buy parts and and told me he swapped his jackaroo with some poor guy for his VT and said how bad the jackaroo was.

Took all my strength not to punch him in the face

 

[Wogboy1994]

piss on the parts and let them dry before you gave them to him?

Was advertising a mates 4by for him, had a brand new set of 38" Super Swampers on it with bead locker rims, a bloke offered to trade rims and tyres only, swap his 35" Maxxiss tyres with 10% tread and steel rims, no cash adjustment, kindly declined the offer when he told me Ill never sell anything with an attitude like that.

There's some selfish knobs out there!
Not all bad though, my brother picked up a complete apart from subframe, rust free front clip for hj-hz for $430, and the guy is quite happy to wait for it to be picked up, he lives 4 hours away and understands my brother having no license and being on apprentice wages.

So there are the odd few that are good or reasonable.

Another one.
I recently sold some stuff on fleabay, most were good, but one of them, he won v8 rocker covers for $3, but has neglected to contact, they'll be relisted this week, another guy won vn-vs window trims for 99c!!! Fair enough he asked if I can deliver, he can't drive and he's half hour away, I said yes, when I'm that way. He's now cracked the **** telling me he's giving me bad feedback cos I haven't delivered them yet, I offered to deliver them that night for $30, no answer, I'm not driving out there for free for what suits him, he agreed when I was passing through, he then told me not to play games cos I couldn't give bad feedback because I was a seller, sorry mate, don't work that way, I then offered to deliver today, to no answer. I think I may relist them too!!!
