I guess I haven't followed the whole thread. No, can't fault the guy for accepting the full ask price.
I had listed one of my cars on Craigslist at a firm price. My mechanic listed a similar 1984 300D (about same mileage, pretty identical even same color) at the same time. We've gotten a laugh because the same people have called and driven each of the cars and now are trying to play one against the other, "There's a car just like this on Craigslist but he's willing to accept..." It's a laugh because the buyers don't realise we know each other and each other's cars. This morning the laugh was that the couple had seen one of my other cars in the shop and asked the mechanic if "the owner" might be interested in selling. They didn't realise that just two days ago it was the car I was driving when they came to look at the first. As we've decided they're just curious "tire kickers," mechanic and I are thinking about trading cars for a week and really confusing them. > From: Jim Cathey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2007 22:57:20 -0800 > To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Going to Look at a 115 > >> I guess you can't fault someone for taking cash on the barrel > > It's rough, but I believe my policy would be that anybody > who was ready to pay the asking price would take precedence > over anybody who was not, and I wouldn't feel too bad about > 'dumping' them. > > It _would_ be immoral to dump a guy who'd agreed in any > form to the asking price for any other potential buyer. > Gets into a gray area when nobody has actually seen or > committed to the car yet. > > I've never sold anything where there was that much action > to worry about!
