Feeling lively that day, I asked him 'what's the most you'll pay?' at which he offered me £400 less than the asking price because he'd seen one go on ebay at the lower price '...and that was a flame top!...'
I simply said we weren't likely to be able to agree a deal but thanked him anyway. So did he actually want a goldtop at all anyway? Damned if I know.
I'm talking stupid money and thousands off on an eight grand car.
Went on for weeks.
In the end I agreed to sell it to him, gave him what I said was my work phone number, and told him to ask for Mr Cameron.
Gave him the number for the houses of Parliament.
Never heard from him again.
I use 'sold listing' as a reference, as I don't want to pay over the odds if I can help it when buying. I avoid sellers who are miles out from what seems acceptable as I have them down as chancers: )
It's such a shame we don't get to hear the call he made
Responding to them makes them think they're in with a chance. Don't encourage them.
I'm with you though, I'd ignore them from the get-go. I'd expect them to be contacting me post-sale looking for some kind of partial refund through some bullshit reason. I'd just see the low offer as a warning sign and avoid that type of person all together.
You can leave feedback but only if you have a conversion with them.
So if someone low balls you and you reply, even nicely but maybe don't give them the deal they want, they can leave negative feedback.
No transaction needed, whatsoever.
Sounds far fetched? Maybe, but I'm fairly confident I can tell within seconds of clapping eyes on someone if they're a crook or not. It'd be especially easy with some of the 'head the balls' that are lurking on Gumtree and the like. No offence.
I recall back in the days when your local Loot or Ad Mag was the thing - There was a guy in our town would take the train into London on a Thursday - Look at the classifieds for nice German cars - Ring up loads of sellers, tick them off one by one, and place a silly offer - Sooner or later he'd find one he could buy cash from more of a desperate seller - Bring it back home and sell it for more money
Then I start reducing incrementally
