I disagree and actually can’t believe you would have this perspective given what I thought I knew about you.

If a deal isn’t mutually beneficial, I’m not doing it. When I sold my WRX recently, I was totally open with all prospective buyers, told the low ballers to FO. I eventually decided not to sell it and took down all of the ads. I guess I missed one as some guy called, I told him I decided not to sell it but if he wanted to come see it and make an offer, I’d show it. I didn’t bother to wash it, didn’t accommodate him in any way - come to my farm, I’m not driving into town for this…anyway, he made an offer and I took it, then I said since the warranty is nearly up, I arranged a Indy inspection at a Subaru Independent shop for next week. I will still pay for that so you have peace of mind. If they find anything, the warranty will cover it. They found nothing, that car was perfect.

When we sold the Tribeca a month or so later, we made an effort to sell it by bringing it into town to show people. 7 people saw it in an afternoon, all recent immigrants (given the low asking price). We went home and a guy called with a lowish offer (not a low ball and certainly in the ball park). I told him that I would take his offer but only if he could do the deal that night. They met us half way to tow and bought the car. It was a good deal for everyone.

I won’t deal with a55holes, life is too short. I won’t treat anyone like an a55holes either - not how I roll.
