So surfing CL last night and I came across some "Brand new gold Rota GT3's unmounted no tires" for $275. I'm thinking shit good deal and send them an email. They respond, have a few emails back and forth and make arrangements to meet at their house at 9 this mourning (an hour away).

So this morning at 8:30 I get a email on my way there saying "Oh sorry the information was incorrect. Two are brand new and two have been mounted and the price is $375". I hate dumb fuckers like that.



End rant

RENIGGERS MAKE ME SICK!!

You lost out on some gold Rotas.  So what?

I would have showed up anyways as if you didn't get the email. If they start shit I would have been an asshole about it and at least ruined their day and let them know what a pile of shit they are.

They didn't look bad, plus I could have threw them on HT and made a quick $100

They were gold, Doug.

i get that shit when i sell shit... people will ask whats the lowest you'll go over the phone.  i always say that we can negotiate price at the time of transaction and when i can see the money in your hand.

The best thing to say when someone asks that is this

"Can you go any lower on the price"
"not really, I have a bunch of emails and im going down the list, so someone will pay full price, but you emailed before the other ppl so you get first shot"
"oh alright, i'll take it and pay your asking price and you can have sex with my gf/wife/daughter"

Yeah, they'll pay full price then or close to it because it's a good deal or they'll just think it's a good deal because you said a bunch of ppl emailed you

I thought everyone does that.

Worst case they say no, and you wait a few days, then contact them back and say the other buyer fell through but you'd sell it to him for $xx
