RE: Anyone notice that CL brings out the dumbest people?
ThunderbirdJunkie posts his flip cars on CL and his grandfather's yard, and only CL and his grandfather's yard. Every time he posts one, it's gone within a day.
The Paseo ThunderbirdJunkie sold a while back was listed a whole six hours. And it only lasted that long because 2 hours after parking the car at Grampa's he took a nap, and woke up 4 hours later to a voicemail from a guy that had called 3 hours prior saying "I want that Paseo. I stopped at the address listed and checked it out. I have cash in hand."
didn't even quibble over the asking price.
Had to return a few calls and emails, too.
One guy:
"I would've given you $1200 for it"
"But I got my full asking price"
"yeah but you could've had it gone sooner"
"I could've had it gone sooner had I not taken a nap, because that guy called hours before you."
"Yeah but you could've had it gone even quicker"
"Are you stupid?"
"F.... you dude"
"No, thanks"
Of course, there was also another event surrounding a flip car.
"So what's your asking price?"
"It's clearly listed on the windshield in three-foot-high numbers"
"What's your bottom dollar?"
"Wave cash in my face. But I have a guy that said he's going to come get it later, so I told him I'd wait two hours for him."
"I'll give you $1300 (was asking $2200...already accepted a $1900 offer from the previous guy)"
*other guy pulls up*
HEY, i gotcher money, got the title?
"Yup, here"
"K here's money. count it"
*count money*
"It's all here, thanks man"
"Thank you dude, have a good one"
then the other jackass CONTINUED to quibble about the price of the truck.
"It's sold. Thanks for your interest"
"But I didn't buy it"
"No, you didn't."
"I didn't even have a chance to buy it"
"No, because your offer was not cash in my face."
"You're full of it"
"No. I'm going home. Later dude."
Next day gramps calls.
"Eric, some guy is here asking about that SUV thing you had in the yard for a couple days."
"Does he look like a cross between Steve Buscemi and Ted Nugent?"
"Is that the gangster movie guy and the loincloth rock 'n' roll guy with long hair?"
"Yes"
"Hmm. I suppose he does."
"Tell him to get lost, truck's gone"
"he tells me that you're just playing games?"
"Truck's sold, gramps, tell him that"
"He doesn't believe you"
"Is it in the yard?"
"No"
"Ask him"
"He says you're hiding it"
ThunderbirdJunkie had to show upand chase this guy off.
Selling stuff can be a pain in the ass.
