ever get that feeling where you'd do anything to be able to fit your boot into the phone an directly into someone's ***. I Called last week about a '79 250 4x4 4x4 ext.cab. 41's an 460 on pro pano. Anyway he said ya for sale. 4500 body's mint an came from some 2by truck. Daily driver an it all works. ok well let me know when i can come down an look at it. He says sure i'll get back to you but some guy is looking at it tonight. A week later i had written it off when he calls me an say's well it sold but re neg'd on it cause the buyer's pregnant wife saw what 41 inch tires was in person an said no. " yes its for sale again .. but.. i'm now asking for 5500 which is still a good deal as i've got 7+ into it. EXCUSE ME ! yes price is now 5500. umm well you must want it more then i do. CLICK*. W.T. F **** me off.. stand buy your price or don't sell it as far as i'm concerned. Now i notice its for sale for $6000. sure would like to throttle him. but oh well thats all there's my rant search continues. wish me luck.

But sometimes a wad of C-notes speaks volumes. You'd be surprised how sometimes they bite. Of course don't break it out all in one wad. Tuck some in each pocket... and bring a friend so he/she can hold some and also keep ya from going overboard.
There is a '70 Chevy I wanted last fall on craigslist... fair body, pristine interior, blown engine, comes with parts/extra cab. $400. Fair price... Found out the pics were 6 months out of date, and in that time someone broke the windows, the cab got filled with rain, and is now hagged out. 2 months later, same pics, $800. No mention of the damage. 2months later... $1200. Still the same.
Now its been almost a year, and he wants $1200 for the first truck and now wants more for the second cab and parts...
We call him dope smoker. He re-posts it every 2 weeks.
Some people can't be taught a lesson, but the wad of cash trick will sure shake them up. Do the deal, haggle the hell outa him, then show him all the money you would of spent.
And then say "No I changed my mind cause you are a ****". And just walk away smiling, yes it hard to do, but you just have to, to keep from getting that feeling you are having right now.
Or tell yourself:
1. I want it
2. I can afford it
3. I really do not need another truck
Then put the cash back in the safe for a better deal.
How about try the old reverse psycology trick, tell them you wouldnt by their vehicle if it was the last one on earth for sell. That youd rather walk barefoot everywhere you go instead of being seen in a pile of crap like they have setting there.
