Yes, my 1st offer was $4k, from first glance they looked unique and cool to my eyes. Afterwards he reply with $4.5k offer. I felt we’re close, which I almost agree too. Before anything, when you have no knowledge of. I’m sure everyone would research the value and rarity of such. As I mentioned to him, I’m an 80’s era. I’ve never ever seen or heard of these wheels, before this listing. Not knowing if it the Real deal, a reproduction or if it rare. Upon my research, found many listings around $1k +/-. Similar yet not exact. As I told him after the reason, I wouldn’t do $4k, I could do $2,700 if things changed on Mar 7. After a few days of pondering, you know when you have this feeling when your mind still wanting it, no matter the value or whatever b.s., you have to have it. When back with an offer $3k on Saturday 3/9/24, he couldn’t do. So Sunday, I ask that if we can split in middle to get it done. Which we agree $3.5k.
2hr or less before leaving work to pick them up. I ask a few details on it. Your typical questions, how long you had them, what was it on before, was this the original finish? Which he disclosed he had refinished the wheels to the gold shade it’s now(which was not disclosed on listing). IMO, that should have been. With work going on, traffic going there and not much time. I thought I asked him for a little reduction for the non original finish. Still was going to get either way after all the pondering. I felt it was fair for not disclosing the refinish. The whole time, the Gold refinishing was what caught my eyes and I thought it as rare shade. Is that a crime to ask for something not disclosed? Never said No upon going. I reaffirmed with him after the trip, that I want it and I’ll take it as is, no doubts. Can’t wait for it.
Had he ask for a deposit, I would have. You don’t call directly or drive 40min if you’re not serious. The whole point is you don’t say *Definitely will Save it for you and Not even *Asking before finalizing**. You couldn’t even call back to ask? Are you Ok with this and that? It just a Simple phone call, if you needed reassurance. I didn’t feel well with the refinishing, I Asked. When you yourself mess up showing a different wheels and having someone wait with expectations. That to me is total Scumbag move.
