exactlyyou get all kinds when you sell something DAMHIK
that's probably why I only sell stuff
when I'm in the mindset to deal with the bullshit
which lately isn't very often.
I have a bunch of crap to unload from parts to beaters and
I'm in no hurry , I wonder why
what is even worse is
I have found buying stuff almost as hard at times..
people want the price of gold for their rusty worn out ****
but want to lowball me for my good used parts
or even new parts, I didn't used etc.
I rarely sell anything, even on here
way too many tire kickers or price-point shoppers
that want if near free,
almost want you to do the work too

I have a few parts, someone could use
mostly take offs, from my current car or other projects
(I don't hang onto many parts when I sell stuff, it goes with it)
I'd like to clear out some shelf space (like anyone would)
& I won't use them again, not my build style etc.
-------------------------------------------------------------
even a few months back,
I just had dealt with this type of stuff
I freaken' knew better,
they/the person would drag it out for months
you educate them, go back & forth
& tell you they want it, why they want it etc.
so you're kind & walk them thru all of it, multiple times
(they need a bit of time to get the funds etc.,
but they say they will buy them, when



you go thru the trouble to pack, properly & get shipping costs for them
because they said they wanted the parts already,
will pay your prices etc.



then they bail, or they try to lowball you all of a sudden
(so their didn't have the funds is probable BS,
they never intended on paying that price they agreed to



they can get it cheaper or some other lame reason
usually multiple reasons (most BS too)



or IMO just being cheap
trying to save a few bucks more
& didn't get it for near free (or me losing my ***)
like they thought
sorry they can sit for decades for all I care now
that's why I rarely ever sell anything
when I do it's unloading the stuff
It's hardly worth the troubles anymore
-------------------------------------------------------------
don't get my next statement wrong it's not to offend anyone here
BUT;
Our MoPar community seems to be rampant with these types too
sorry it's a fact/truth, been like that for decades now
-----------------------------------------------------------------
some of the stuff I have, I'd give the nice (right) guys
if it struck my fancy & they were good people, needed them
just pay for packing & shipping costs etc.
that's even a rarity nowadays
I lost my care for even that,
been taken advantage of too much, by kindness
I'm not stupid, I learned my lessons

not even worth my time
so good parts, someone could use, just sit
oh well
maybe someday I'll drag them to a swap meet
& just unload them, 1st come 1st serve
if someone shows true interest & needs the help,
some youngster that doesn't have the $$$ etc.


sorry for the novel too, I feel better now
