What is this nonsense?

[67Dart273]

This is about the third ad on CL where someone stated this...........

"please make offer BEFORE you arrive" I've never heard of this before now

LISTEN I'm NOT going to "make a deal" before I can look at the thing!!

On the flip side as a seller, I have had "I'll give you $xxxx.xx right now" type offers from people who will not even take the time to come look at things first.

Idiots are everywhere.

"imported for Dodge"?
I have 2 of them, and I bought them both at sears. A gray one and a red one.

Granted, it's pretty old. I purchased my gray one ( and exact duplicate of the pic, inside and out) back in 1980, for about $50.00, and the red one some time in the 90's when they were closing them out for $35.00.
