The Bl**dy cheek of some people !

As you know the Vette is up for sale, and has been for a little while now. I,m in no particular hurry to sell so the price is what I consider a good one should make. It currently up at £7950 (started off at £8750). I,ve just had an email via PH from a guy offering £5250.

What is it about a price that people don't understand ?? I can see that an offer is always worth a go, but nearly £3000 under asking, that's taking the p*ss ! Apparantly you can get a lot newer one for around £7000.

Anyway, just replied very politely telling him no way !

Yer sorry about that. I was going to p/ex a Merc an optinal extra of free turf, as well

Seriously though, tell him where to stick his offer :devil:

I was selling a BMW a few years ago for about £5K.

Bloke on phone: 'There are cars like it in Exchange & Mart for £4K'

Me: 'They seem very good value, I'd go and buy one of those if I were you'.

Lordy, I have just turned down an offer for my Bayliss because he it was almost one thousand away from the 9950 asking price, and I thought that was a bit of a lowly offer. But 3 biguns off is a 'P' take.

Well ATEOTD it's only worth what someone will pay you for it, sadly. And tne internet has ingrained a habit of buying cheap. Great if you're buying, not so much fun if you're selling. Boxes shift but everybody makes less profit (except the Chinese of course).

Having just had a car advertised have been amazed at the tossers who ring and offer the first number that comes into there head. Do they not realise that offering 3 grand below what you could get at a car auction is a bit of a punt too far.

Better an email than him wasting your time with a test drive etc I suppose.

John's right, everybody wants things cheap & it's not just the interwebulator - I blame Tesco

Suppose your right Mike, but still bl**dy cheeky !

Look at it this way Ian, the twot wants something he can't really afford! Makes me feel better anyhow. Johns right, but only to a point IMHO, it just depends how much competion like for like is out there and how badly a punter wants your car.

The internet just helps cheeky gits make an offer without having to get off their asses and come round for a look.

What have they got to lose?

I just delete them and if they chase I take it as a bit more serious and say I thought they were joking with their first e-mail.

ahh nice technique

Well, the Vette's been reduced again (http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/200563.htm). I believe I may have found my next 'toy' so I really could do with selling it shortly.

[crankedup]

Well its a real bargain for somebody Ian and with the season almost upon us I would imagine a buyer will soon come along, Good Luck. As for my own sale, well I have had a fella who seems intent on waiting until the new financial year or his taking the 'P' out of me

Good luck Ian, hope your staying on the Dark (left) side with your new toy !!

I think that's very likely.
