Car Flippers say the darndest things...

What I find amusing is tha they are targeting the same market.

The last one down here was a 66 Coronet basket case.
First ad was $600, and ran for a week.
The next week, the $600 ad is gone and new ad, obviously at a different house is up, and the price is $1700. Pics of the car still had tow chains on it.

Really? if you're the only one who wanted it for $600, what makes you think any of the other folks that had a week to look would want it for tripple that?

I am, hwever, kicking myself for a few that have changed venus and made decent money.

I've seen two Roadrunner basket cases sit on CL for months at $1200 and $1500, then go on ebay and sell for $3500. In fact there's one on right now.


Well...I had a '79 D150 with no motor. It was a rust-free truck, and straight save a replacement front fender. Not a bad rig. I listed it on CL for $300. Nothing. No Bites. Nada.

So I pulled it, waited a week, said "What the hell..." and listed it for $750. Same pics, same truck, same seller, same location, same phone number, same ad (price edit, natch), same everything. They fought like dogs for that truck.
I got calls for weeks after the the guy showed up SAME DAY (and paid ca$h with no bargaining) to get it.
