Agree to some of them...set up a meeting place that's inconvenient to them like a Walmart on the other side of town, and tell them you're in the white pickup truck.
I had a guy threaten to murder me once after he searched Walmart for the right vehicle for half an hour...all while I was 200 miles away.

Yes, lie to them then waste their time.

After all, they really damaged you by trying to buy your product for less.

My reply to ignorance is simply "NO". Kinda works like this:
1. Would ya take 200 - NO
2. I have 225 - NO
3. Would you trade for a 1/4 side of fresh beef - NO
4. My sister is a virgin - NO
and so on and so on.........

That sort of businesslike reply seems to be out of style these days.

Every one is a sainted victim, and needs to justify their outrage or crappy behavior by blaming someone else.

I personally would respond to what I deemed an out-of-line request with something similar. Like 243 bucks and I get to watch you and you wife whip each other or something.

Take it or counter offer, really not too complicated.

Low ball offers are a part of life, grow up. My Dad would low balled all the time, got a lot of good deals. I will because so many people think there crap is worth something. And if you haven't sold it, it's probably priced to high. I won't charge you all for this advice. There are people on this site who keep listing there stuff over and over for the same price, hey, you are asking to much. Or, maybe they don't want to sell. Now, the other option to think about is the seller is looking for a sucker, and there are a lot of them out there. What you should do is just ignore them. Sometimes the best advice is free. This is free. LOL Go to college and pay for education and don't learn this much.

The reason I posted here is because I want to post on all the classified ads that repeat over and over for the same price and low ball there over priced guns. But I will probably get a slap on the hand from the people who run this place. My dad told me, you work hard for your money, make every penny count, get everything for the best price you can. A little advice RickN, and anybody else who wants it, take it or leave it.

Someone who wants to "make every penny count" wouldn't lowball other people because that mentality assumes other people don't value their own money. Time is also money, so wasting someone's time with an insultingly low offer is also a disregard for how others treat their money.

Lowballers are just playing a numbers game and there's no virtue in that.

I'm about to put my Jeep up and dreading the BS I know will come. Good luck
I have a vehicle in my driveway that needs engine work and I have been putting off trying to sell it, especially on CL or FB because of the tire kickers and no shows.

I can put up with lowball offers but the idiots that want to set up a meeting and not show up tend to piss me off.
