Quoted from Adm927:I messaged him about it, he said $1500 or best near offer. I laughed. Told him good luck. I was going to offer him $500
Don't laugh. Tell him that you have an offer in mind but that "we are too far apart. If your situation changes, please give me a call". But do not insult him with your offer.
You never know what might happen. He might call you after he has a lot of people laugh in his face. Some people do wise up when they see how the wind is blowing.
My girl friend sold her old 3/4 ton Ford pick up last summer. We had no idea what is was worth and some old pickups can bring the bucks. We were told it was a $5500.00 pickup. That's were we started it out on Craigslist. We got 4 or 5 calls and the ad sort of fizzled out. We had set the price too high.
About a month later I got a call form a guy 225 miles east of us. He had a rusted out POS that was his father's pickup and our truck had cherry body and bed with no rust. He wanted the cherry body and bed to restore his dad's truck.
He hemmed and hawed and was afraid to insult me with a low offer. I told him that no one has bought it at my price so I was obviously too high on the price and as for demand that he was the only game in town. Make me an offer. I want it sold. He offers $1500.00 and I said SOLD!. We did business the next day.
