Exclamation isn't the seller supposed to wait till the offer to insult a prospective buyer?

In my search for a '55 2 dr post to cut up I saw this today.


1955 Chevrolet 150 2dr sedan - $1750 (Mohawk NY)


"Original 1955 chevrolet 2dr sedan . Plain Jane 150 model. No chrome. 265 V8 - 3speed. Complete but not running.This model was used in Nascar Racing in 1955.Needs a rear 1/4panel and some frame work.

A good cheap start for you tightwads and depression era challenged individuals."


"I will never have one of these this cheap again..photos available. I can assist in loading. It needs total resto but a great deal. Good for drag rat hot rod restoration. Cool vehicle and vintage bike swops considered-have a good 2013. $1750.00 or??? 315-866-3072 If you see this ad it is still available."

It's a bit brash, but I see his point. At $1750, someone will offer him $750. But, as every seller does, I know he has a "lowest I'll go" point.

My buddy is famous for saying "whats the cash price?" which is pretty f'n funny to me because I don't take EBT or farm animals or ex-wives, I only have a cash price...

When I get the 'cash today' question, I usually respond 'cash, as opposed to ...??'

I dont have or give lowest or bottom lines, but do encourage buyer to make an offer. Amazing how the art of negotiation is diminished.

I was a snap on dealer and they would ask, cash price, then pull out there debit card, No, cash is green, Don't offer it if you don't have the s*%t in your pocket to back it up!
