Sellin a car = bullshit

like a lot of the people on FABO, I could write a book about this subject!!!! ( not fiction either!).
I make it a rule to buy only good projects, for what they ARE acyually worth, do 99% of the work myself, so when I decide to sell something, I can price it WELL below fair market value. even then it can be a real struggle to get it sold!!!
I can blame this buyer syndrome on many things. one of which, I call the swap meet mentality. ie, NO matter how much the car is worth the price. ALWAYS figure to talk the cars price down, do anything necessary to make the seller ( who has probably more years, hours, and miles ahead of the seller), to get the price dropped.
my approach when selling, is to try my best to treat all buyers as if they ALL actually deserve such, yes, there are buyers that are truly great people, but seems to be far and few!??? I try to talk to the idiots as though they have good sense. yes there are people that lack knowledge, so I try to be polite and calmly discuss all involved. I admit I am nOT a people person, so I have taught myself, over the decades, to take a deep breath before I UNLOASD on some moron !!?????
remember, all $$$ you get over the price of scrape metal IS salesmanship!!!!!! HA
