I don't seem to sell cars very often.
I don't have a lot of them...but collecting is probably the niche you would put me in.
When I do sell...and I have sold some...including an original 67 Ford Fairlane 2 dr w/427....I price them reasonably and expect the buyer to at least be as reasonable in his first offer.
I f I get lowballed as soon as he enters the garage...I usually ask him to step back just a little so the garage door doesn't close on him.
At that point I go back inside leaving him (I hope) with the impression that he has insulted me.
When I buy one...I am open to what the owner is saying...I think over what good points he has made...and I look the car over as carefully as I can....before making an offer.
So often...with my own cars...and with friends....I have seen the typical (sometimes cigar chewing) idiot...enter the room...make a stupid offer..saying something like.."I'll tell you what I'm going to do for you"....(at this point ...there is NOTHING he can do for me)...and he lowballs my price.
What ever happened to fair play and chivalry?
My grandfather would roll over in his grave if he saw the crass, ungentlemanly, greedy way some buyers are.
I hope they get exactly what they deserve....lemons.
