SO we're selling my son's 2001 Toyota PU - asking $3000, and it's mechanically perfect, but a dig or two in the body. Excellent shape tho, almost new tires.
Guy comes and 'picks it apart', noting every tiny scratch, complains about tires. Says: OK, I'll take it off your hands for $1000." Hump, nope we say.
he leaves. calls a week later, "Well, will up it to $1500 if you sell it to me this weekend."
Son thinks about it for a minute, and says: "Sold it last week for $3000 so I gotta call the guy and get it back -- sell it to you for the $1500."
Guy says: "How soon can I pick it up."
