Re: Your take on "OBO" sales

something that has really started to bother me, is that 99% of the phonecalls or texts I get ask the question, "what is the lowest you'll take on this?"

To which I reply either, "I am open to offers," or, "depends on what your offer is."



I hate it when I tell them the lowest I will take for something over the phone, then they drive for 3 hours and nitpick whatever it is I'm selling and then offer me less.   To which I say, "I already told you the lowest I would take".   They respond with, "but that was before I knew about.......(something...just nitpicking)".   Then I say, "you shouldn't have asked what my bottom dollar was over the phone then you moron" .  Well I left the moron part out but you get the idea.  


Or I was selling a 1986 extra cab 4x4 pickup a few months ago.  nothing special,  rusty but ran and drove great.   I had a guy that drove for 4 hours pulling a trailer and then lowball me, even though I told him over the phone that my price was negotiable but don't bother making stupid offers.  He was mad when I laughed at his offer and went back inside, leaving him standing in my driveway. 
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE
AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.
