WTF is wrong with some people here??

[monoblanco]

This rant is a waste of internet space.

Having said that, if you're selling something understand that, to some people looking for a deal the #1 rule is, always try an offer lower than the asking price. The worst that can happen is that the seller will not agree to the offer, become emotional and and start a thread about low ballers hurting his feelings.

This is why a seasoned seller often starts out with an asking price that's slightly higher than that he is willing to accept.

everyone wants a deal and most of the time it doesn't hurt to ask.

but yes at 100 dollars shipped, its rather silly.

thats the thing... it IS a deal already!

i dunno.. im not one to haggle. it's embarrassing to me. i guess if im at a flea market or a swapmeet or something. but at those places, that kinda stuff is to be expected.
thing is, if i listed them at 120, i'd have a bunch of people offering 100.

ahhh.. fuggit.

Well myself I tend to see used autoparts as a barter item whether it's online or at a wrecker I always haggle the price a bit. However if you make an insultingly lowball offer you risk offending the seller and screwing yourself over. Some people are douches in the FS section though and don't get it as evidenced in your thread.

I'll up the offer on the springs to $85 and throw in a pair of non-working tweeter pods

sweeet.

can i get one interior door-pull trim, in tan, tossed in?

well, its not so much about THIS particular lowballing.. but the accumulation of ALL of them.

i could seriously list a car for 5 bucks, and someone would offer me 4.50

everyone wants a deal and most of the time it doesn't hurt to ask. It generally takes only a few moments to make the offer which is then either declined or accepted. If accepted you just saved yourself decent cash for little to no work.


but yes at 100 dollars shipped, its rather silly.
do you know how many miles are on them? and just double checking but they should fit my 91 325i right? I saw somewhere that they were on a vert but the p# was for a coupe/sedan but wasn't sure if that mattered and if bc its a late model its different.

I hate it when they haggle for 5+ pm's, then when you agree on a price they ask you to hold the item until Xday when they get paid.

[deutschman]

this is a good laugh

[e30rida]

That's why I never answer lowball PM's.

Cry much?
