Check this out. Pricey for the amount of rust but it could be a helluva nice truck. I’d bring it back fairly stock since it still has the original Pontiac engine. I’d just static lower it and put 17” wheels on it, no bigger. Use it to tow my boat! |

My then step father tried to talk my mom into getting one just about like that in the late 50's and she wouldn't have it and ended up with a 58 Merc colony park wagon.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
Meaning that they hope a few guys will get in a bidding war. I went out to buy a parts rig a few years back trailer in tow and cash in pocket to buy it on an OBO deal and made an offer that I thought was more than fair in cash green money and take it away now. The guy tells me that no- OBO means best offer over ______ and I could make a bid on it over what he had listed it for. Last I saw it was still sitting in the same spot several years later.

Unfortunately, people routinely asking "what is your absolute bottom dollar price?" has created this..sellers can just ask the same question, right? "What is your absolute highest possible offer?" I've had people make low offers, and I've countered with an offer above my initial asking price...why not, right? if a buyer can ask to put more money back in their pocket, well so can I. |
Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
I've had guys respond to ads with "will you take 50% of asking price because that's all the money I have".
I usually respond with something like, "you should look within your budget range" People can be pretty bold when they are not face to face. |

That guy who told me that "best offer" meant the highest bid over a certain time and I was welcome to place a bid did mean bids over his listed price because I gave him an offer that matched the actual cash I had on me and he laughed and said no, that wasn't how it worked with him. He actually thought he was auctioning the rig off from that as the starting bid. I still don't know if he ever sold it but talked to another guy who had made an offer within pocket change of what I had made. I don't like going anywhere to buy something that costs over about 500 with cash in my pocket anymore although 30 years ago I did it a lot. I'm looking into buying an OT car now and if i do it I'll have the seller go with me to the bank in his town to arrange a transfer of funds to him. |

Decent looking 57 3100 in Moses Lake WA. 25K seems a bit high for it in this area though.

Now I'll see if I can post this on the right thread.
57 Chevy 5700 fuel truck with tank. Looks like it may have been driven in and parked in the line. When the oil companies went to bigger trucks for their local fuel delivery trucks some farmers around this area bought their old delivery trucks to use to fuel equipment on the larger farms. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...type=top_picks |

I normally respond to email offers, that I only accept face to face offers. if you accept an email or text offer, that just lowers the new starting price for them when they show up and try to negotiate you even lower. I have sold some off topic cars and had some very odd responses, and many of the new norm text responses. Examples: I only have 1/2 of your asking price would you take? << No, call me back when you get all the money. (This was for a motorcycle, next person who showed up paid my fair asking price). I will buy it, I am on my way, do not sell << This is your first message, you do not know where I am, where are you driving to? First person with cash in my hand gets the car. What is your lowest price? << My listed price is my lowest price. I have 15 interested parties and one on the way right now. (This was true, selling a very low mileage, older Japanese car that is in high demand. Sold it to the first person, for 1.5x of KBB value.) Last lesson, there is a coffee shop 3 minutes from my house. Meet me there, text me when you arrive and I will meet you there. < I never meet at my house. If they do not show up I am not concerned about someone showing up to my house at all hours of the day or night. |

I like the last one about meeting someone at a place away from your home. If they sound hinky add: "To help you find me i'll be the one with a AR"

Today's younger buyer is different and I have learned to work with them. This might be a CL ad for today's buyer as I see them. "Buyer: Looking for easy profit. No strings attached. Quickly able to research value and price of item being sold. Will commit to anything if pressured. Doesn't care about seller's impression. Willing to move on." |
