sometimes other things work
I called about a real rare and desirable jetski for sale right after the ad came out.
Guy was nice enough,said someone else had already called but wouldnt be able to get there before Wed(it was Monday AM).
He was going to call the guy back and tell him he had until the next evening to get there.
I thought it was upstanding that he hold it for someone without even a hint of a deposit.
When I called back later that afternoon to see if he had contacted the guy,he said he hadnt heard back from him yet.I then complemented him on being a man of his word,that I had so many people sell stuff out from under me on CL(even with a paypalled deposit). I then explained that alot of buyers are just BSers,as an example I have a golf cart on CL for sale and 2 people promised they would be right over to buy,and both never called or showed up.His reply was"you have a golf cart?I need a golf cart."
We struck a deal that each traded for amount asking,I kicked in $200 for the difference and both went away happy.My boys both love this jetski ,as its a factory hotrod.
Ill probably sell it this winter after weve had our fun,for about 4x the amount I had in the golf cart.
