I've got this Polaris Phoenix for sale...$1,500 and the truth be known, I'd probably take $1,000 if some AH would show up and look at it....or text me, or message me and say tell me about your POS machine first which is really what it is).
But, I digress....I place the add on CL and FB Marketplace and about a week later I get a message....
$1,000....that was all he said. He has a very small FB account
A few days later, he sends me another msg, "LMK." So far, I've ignored him.
Like I said, if he would say, tell me about your machine, why are you selling it, is the price firm....the POS might be gone by now. I just spent $125 on it (seat cover and battery) to prep it for next week's trip and I have my eye on a TRX300 at the local MC shop. I'd much rather be riding that 300 next week.
This morning, I get a very nice offer for "$800 and he'll get it today." I look at the pic, and I know the guy, sorta, our daughters played BB together 5-8 years ago. So, I say, 13, and that he is a comedian, don't quit your day job. He responds w/850 is all that it is worth to me (which I can accept....as he is finally truthful/legit).
So, my question...WTF do you do w/a AH that sends you a msg, out of the blue w/a very low-ball offer? Is he looking for a counter-offer, should I counter-offer?
Also, WTF is it w/these clowns that can't look to see where Whitewater is? (My city, it is in the add). Additionally, on CL, there is a map, it shows the closest highway junction 1.7 miles from my house....they ask, "Where are you at." ...I consider this an excellent sign that this is going no-place. I say that the description in the add is correct...Ohhhh, quite often that is the last that I hear. I'm not very computer savvy...Would you bring it to Denver (250 miles away)....WTF, are you high (a legitimate question for Colorado)?. No.
