I just listed my vehicle for sale

I know it is only worth $4 or $500 but I listed it at $800 and said "make me an offer" that was after I listed all that is wrong with it!

The exhaust rattles and it has a squeeky belt that has been changed but still squeeks.
I will see what happens. I was hoping to get an automotive lot to buy it, but they don't want it.
I don't want to have to deal with back and forth converstions. Ugh.

Good luck!

I haven't driven regularly since 1994.

I didn't need a car in NYC all those years, although someday I may have to apply for a license again if I stay in the suburbs...

Driving on I-95 would probably terrify me now...

That would be pretty scary if you haven't driven in a while. I still wierd out going back to the west side of the state during rush hours. Yikes!

Next time I list something I will say, "I am adding $5 per stupid question"

You could have just set it on fire!

Dr Dave, how many things have you set on fire recently?

None.

Good to hear!

I am slightly overwhelmed with the messaages, which I knew I would be. But I'm just responding as best as I can to people. What I didn't expect was the # of messages about why they need the car-
son's birthday on Monday
Wife just wrecked other car, they have 3 kids
Guy wants to pay me in a month, he works at wife's salon (showed me her salon w/ massage bed in background) and he wants to start his own detailing business

Its so wierd-I am trying to get to people in the order they messaged me, that seems logical to me. Also I am ignoring the low offers for now. And it was nice someone said, "Have a really nice night"

Don't sell to people who like pineapple on pizza.

It's okay to be touched by people's hard luck stories, but avoid anyone who won't have the money up front. If they don't have $800 now, chances are they won't have it in a month either.

I sold it! Woooo!

And it was the first buyer who I talked to.
