"NO LOW BALLERS!"

I was just looking through the classifieds as I do nearly everyday. This one always gets me. Let's get this straight. You are selling a vehicle yourself used and insist on no low ballers. Good freakin' luck.

It saves a lot of time for both the seller & prospective buyer. If I wanted less, I'd ask less, or at least put in OBO if I'd consider taking less.

Agreed but how often does someone offer you what you are asking. I geuss what I should have said is that it doesn't mean crap. I was selling my truck and put that in there, still got low ballers from hell.

RE: "NO LOW BALLERS!"

You're right about that it doesn't mean crap. It's not much different than playing poker. Guy's asking a lot/firm, you offer chit, betting that he'll really take a lot less. First rules of negotiating: ask a lot or offer little to open. Never know, seller may have to sell by midnight or rig gets repo'd.
Try selling your own real estate. Can always tell who the recent grads from the "Flip this House" courses are.

sometimes you just have to be smarter then the village idiot, ask more then you really want and when you do come down to what you will take, your both happy..

any time your selling something from the paper your asking for wise ***'s to show up to look, kick tires, and perhaps even set you up for a rip off..I have seen them all, and I have had some come back to try to rip me off.[:@] dickering over price is just the American way of it, it goes way back to ancient times, I remember taking eggs to the local general store in Kent Ill. and trading for sugar, flour, and other essentials..

I once had a guy come over and look at my quad I was selling. He said he wanted it, but needed a ride to where his girlfriend worked to get the cash. So I took him there. He comes out and reports to me that she was on lunch, but knew where she was. I said "ok, let's go." Of course, she wasn't there either.We decide to try one more place (yes, a was a GD idiot), and sure enough, she wasn'tthere. I suddenly (then it seemed like suddenly) realized I was running this guys errands for him, and I believe he may have been delivering drugs.As he came out of the last place, I drove off and left him there.

Man was I am idiot.
