On a set of 17'' as new never refurbed S-Class W221 wheels with tyres for sale, Up for €600. A guy drives from Kerry (55ish mile each way) Has a look and says perfect couldn't fault them, I'll give you €250 and take them. Did he seriously expect me to say yes? Adamant I was going to take €250 as that's what he paid for current set. (Standard 16'' that were kerbed/rough/budget tyres)
Then you have the abrupt phone calls, No questions on the item, Just 'Gimme your best price' .... Give a figure and they offer way less.... Why the f*** ask my best price if your going to make a 50% offer anyway?
Had a 05 Fiesta for sale last week, Fresh NCT/ Timing-Belt, Serviced and 4 new tyres.... Literally spent about €700 on it before I sold it. Couldn't be faulted. Girl rings, Comes and sees its/drives it/agrees a price... Just wants to get her daughter to view it before she agrees. (It's for her first car) But will 99% take it. Agree a time to come back that evening, Never heard from again. Not even a courtesy text to say they changed there mind..... Car sold next day for close to asking price to someone else.
Then I had the t*** that was buying an E46 door, Rang made arrangements.... Rang about 5/6 times looking for directions. (Getting closer each time) Then just no contact.... Never heard from again.
Works both ways too, Drove to Kildare (250 mile return) to buy a 07 Fiesta.. Owned since nearly new, No dents/scratches... 4 Good Tyres.
Both bumpers scuffed, Both sides peppered with door dings. (Like it was in a public carpark since new)... 4 good tyres? 1 new budget I'v never heard of and 3 bald tyres.... Not on the markers but bald.
Most of the general public are just dim.
