>sell car on FB marketplace (yes I know, tl;dr sadly I don't have a lot of other options here that'll get me some buyers)>shitbox 1998 Honda Civic>noted several times in ad that car won't start and it needs new starter>ask 350, or 450 with new starter installed>some woman bids 300>accept bid>woman comes look>"can you start it?">"... no, as the ad said, the starter needs to be replaced">"wtf why are you selling a broken car?? why are you wasting people's time selling broken cars?? I should call the cops on you, you scammer!">"lady, the ad mentioned this several times, but I can install a new one for 100 bucks if you want">"see! classic scam! lure people in and then ask more money! bastard">woman leaves>pic related, it's my live reactionWhy are people so retarded when you want to sell (or buy) things??
>>28828521She knew. She just wanted to buffalo you into installing it for free to try and placate her. Next she would've called back and demanded a refund but she keeps the car "for her trouble".This shit is why people mostly trade in now
>>28828521I see you didn't work retail in high school.This is the game. People know they can plead ignorance, make shit up, or accuse you of doing what they're doing and they save a lot of money over the course of their lives. They specifically seek out opportunities to do it if they get addicted to it - "or 450 with starter installed" was irresistible bait for her to run her "hustle."
>>28828521the car is worth 2k if it runs and drives.lowballing yourself is the reason you have to deal with such people
>>28828521Anon, you are retarded.A retarded gorilla nigger.You don't sell cars that don't run, unless they absolutely cannot be made to run.If a starter install is all the vehicle needed l, you should just install the new starter. Having it running practically doubles the price.
>it just needs one partSo then just fix it and sell it for the higher price
>>28828521should've labeled it a "roller" and sold the engine by itself separately
highjacking this threadim selling a rusty hunk of shit that will never pass inspection anywhere but it runs and drivesit also has multiple rounded wheel bolts and leaks every fluid possible with a bunch of lights on the dashwhat do I sell it for? I was thinking 1500
>>28828618>rusty300 and a firm handshake
>>28828521there's no way you're selling a 6th gen civic for only 300 dollars unless it's literally rusting away.i owned an EM1 with lots of minor cosmetic flaws, fucked up power steering, broken AC, and other miscellaneous deferred maintenance and still managed to squeeze out 6k.
>>28828521I’ll buy it for 200
>>28828521>Why are people so retardedthey're just born like that
