Rip off? I paid TWICE his asking price for one just last week. LOL
It's only "gold" if some fool buys it, otherwise, it's idiocy.
I came across a 1968 truck I liked, good shape but a bit rusty, asking price, $25,000!!!!!
I called the guy, expecting the price to be mistake. "No" he said. We talked a bit, I made him an offer, and it was clear he was just trying to pacify his wife by saying "well honey, I tried to sell it."
Not being married, I don't really understand his methods.
