What Does "Reasonable Offer" mean?

Ha. !!??
Selling any old car on FB MartketPlace????? First we realize there are so many idiots on there! How many guys that send out 15 messages a day on various cars offered there just fishing?? How many shoppers with not a $ to their name on a given day? Or.. Like the lady that spends all day window shopping at the mall!? Just "looking"' ( Do they still have malls!?) You the seller, you are looking for that ONE guy that is searching for what you have to sell at a given price. Maybe your ask price, maybea little less. Maybe a whole lot less. But he has $ and will come look and be sincere (maybe). It takes patience and a tough skin usually, but IF your car is fairly priced with haggle room or not, you will soon find out if there are any buyers on not for that given car at that price!

I see old cars I would love to have, that are priced way too high. I get their cell number and call. If they only want to text, I tell them I will call not text. Talk NOT text. Then, I ask them IF they have every restored any old car? Ever? I ask how they arrived at their price?
I tell them. I have been in this hobby, decades so I have what I feel is fair for any given car. That is all I will ever pay. My opinion may or not be correct, but it is what I go by and IF I offer advice, I say please understand advice I offer is just that and not a ploy to beat a guy down.

If the seller is a car guy, I want to see his "herd" and brag on them some. Develop some sort of "relationship" if possible. Makes it all easier for both of us. You do not have to be a pro salesman to try to be able to decide what type of person you are dealing with.

I like the old line that goes like this: "I really like your car and I want to buy it, BUT...... SOooo, you are asking $10,000 for this $1500 car. Just what will it take for me to haul it home, since it does not run, has no engine, no seats, and I will have to spend blah, blah, blah for it to run!???"
He might tell you not to let the gate hit you in the *** on the way out.... or maybe he laughs and says lets TALK! :thumbsup: :rofl: :BangHead: :steering: :confederateflag:
