Re: What Urks you when looking at a used 67-72 truck?
If it isn't what I am willing to pay, he's not a seller, is he? He's an owner.
Maybe someone is willing to pay more, and he gets rid of it. But maybe no one else will pay it either, and then he's stuck with it. He can decide how much he wants, but that doesn't mean he'll get it.

And that is still up to him, not you.

I think the price is only meaningful when the buyer and seller both agree on it.

Re: What Urks you when looking at a used 67-72 truck?
One thing inparticular that Urks me, and it’s been said. When you go look at an vehical and it looks nothing like the picture. I bought a Chevelle and a BMW, different times, walked past both looking for the one I saw in the photo. I bought both but not for what they were asking.

Re: What Urks you when looking at a used 67-72 truck?
The selling price is not up to the seller....never has been.
The asking price (realistic? hopeful? accurate?) is up to the seller, nothing more. The market decides, not the seller.....nor the buyer. This is very simple and is the hallmark of a true and free economy and it is called 'supply and demand'. It works all the time, every time....and is 99+% bullet proof. Again, if you decide to invest heavily in your truck for personal purposes..that is on you unless what you choose to do to it has 'market value' vs. personal value. This is key to not losing your shirt on your vehicle if you anticipate selling it some day. On the flip side, buyers can bid on stuff all day long....low balling, etc...and they usually get what they bargain for...sometimes very little if anything if they don't know the market any better than the seller does. So job 1: know the market...it rules the roost. All good Coley

Leave with nothing? I’ve NEVER regretted leaving with my money Sooner or later I’ll find what I want at a price I’m willing to pay.

Re: What Urks you when looking at a used 67-72 truck?
Now here would be an interesting thread....hopefully not too divisive.
We all post up our trucks and post what we think they are worth...then we allow member voting to see what the group thinks? This would actually give a pretty accurate indicator of truck market value despite the fact that a few members might find the results a little disappointing. I'm pretty sure many (most?) consider their trucks to be worth more than what the market or what the members might dictate...lol That would be an interesting thread for sure All good Coley
