Seed truck??

I know the paint on the front fenders drives you crazy, but I'm so glad you seem to be the only one thinking that this isn't going to sell? I was wondering what else I could be hiding at this price level? Sometimes I wonder if it makes people nuts knowing what I actually paid for it and they didn't get that deal. I guess I should say where would you have stopped? Would you have left the tire's flat with rusty rims and all? Would you have left the nasty carpet on the floor? Would you leftt the seat uncovered? Would you left all the black plastic door panels and dash all dry and almost turning white? Would you have left the entire truck in a layer of mold? Would you have left the motor 16 degrees too far advanced? Would you have left the kickdown linkage so far out of whack that it would almost never go into third and the minute you tap the gas it would jump back into second? Would you have not put a battery in it? It's like all these easy things that just shows its neglect, but I've been trying to fix. Believe it or not I do value your opinion, but I have a tendency to shy away from the negative. Maybe for some prospective you could just post one or two of the vehicles in your area that are comparably better? To help me understand your perspective..
Just so you know from my perspective I've got like I said till the middle of April. We have our massive swap meet with over thousand booths and 50000 or more people the first week of April where I have a booth. If I needed to fire sale this and just double my money for $1, 500 or so it can go. but for the six or seven hundred dollars I have into it I could find a way to make that money back up and yes keep the truck. I do have options...

Honestly, I not trying to be negative...just realistic.

The work you put into the truck is fine, but the price has gone up beyond the quick flip value. I’m sure it will eventually sell, but at your price you will need to wait for just the right buyer. If the work you did was to expedite the sale, it’s well spent. But how much do you want to make for your efforts at the expense of having your money tied up and not taking out the profits quickly?

You’ve done all the work that the average buyer of a truck like this expects to do so that they get a great deal on the initial price just like you did. If a fast sale is what you want with a good profit, price it to sell fast by giving the buyer a great deal that they can’t pass up...and laugh all the way to the bank with a nice profit for your work.

I just think you have fallen in love with it and now see what you think it should be worth, rather than focusing on the fast flip profit you originally set out to get.
