hamerhead Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/msg/5142302995.htmlLooks pretty nice.
kizanski Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 If that doesn't end up in the HFC, I'll be very disappointed in all of you.
KofSeattle Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Email out to seller. Heck of a deal. We'll see if its still there.....
SSII x 2 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Nice GTR and not overpriced. Hope it goes to a good home!
boundandcrowned Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Nice GTR and not overpriced. Hope it goes to a good home!Looks fairly underpriced to me!!! I would grab it right away if I wasn't in Germany.
KofSeattle Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 I and another Seattle dweller both inquired. I received no response but my buddy did. He is supposed to P/U this afternoon but apparently the seller called and upped the price due to response. I hate it when that happens ;( Not sure how much it went up.
hamerhead Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Upping the best rice is bad form oh wellThat'll happen if you over-cook it.
BTMN Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Gotta cut seller a lil slack $500 is REALLY underpriced for that and we all know it. Anything under $700 is a bargain based on the looks of the photos.

Ummm....bullshit.If you don't know what it's worth, do an ebay search.Upping the price when you finally gain some knowledge is bush league.
MCChris Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Ummm....bullshit.If you don't know what it's worth, do an ebay search.Upping the price when you finally gain some knowledge is bush league.Yeah, but so is Craigslist, so.......

KofSeattle Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Yeah kinda crappy to make a deal, agree on a pickup time and then raise the price. Apparently now he is rethinking the sale all together. Too bad.
BTMN Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Didn't say it was "right" but I will agree seller should have researched things a little better and it is Shitty to pull that after an agreed upon sale.
MCChris Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Apparently now he is rethinking the sale all together.Because he's revealed himself to be a cockhead and no one will deal with him now.A satisfactory comeuppance, I'd say.

The Shark Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Call him stupid, but he did get a free and accurate market appraisal.
kizanski Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 No, not stupid, but definitely of questionable character.
mrjamiam Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Call him stupid, but he did get a free and accurate market appraisal. How did he get this? All he apparently got was the message that he priced it too low, in the form of a flood of eager buyers. That doesn't tell him where it SHOULD be. If people offered more for him to welsh on the deal, that does give an indication, but only to the point of beating the previous price. I chatted with a coworker today who had advertised his airplane for sale last week. I asked how it was going, and we agreed that since he had had several inquiries, he had probably priced it about right. Multiple people competing to get their check in his hand would have indicated that the price was low, and total silence would have indicated that he had probably priced it too high. An auction would have been a better way to go to let the market show the maximum price, but since eBay sucksTM, no wonder he went the CL route.

I would have, if I were after it. We can't really know, but he got gunsmoked by somebody's advances.

The lesson I'm taking from this is that the best chance for getting a good mis-priced deal on CL is if someone local can spot it quickly and arrange a deal immediately. If the ad is up for any length of time, other folks will be in contact and the risk of a change of mind skyrockets. Probably the reason the dude with the $450 Studio a couple of hundred miles from here (http://jacksontn.craigslist.org/msg/5098902038.html) never got back to me last week. Either it's sold, or he's raising the price. The ad is still up, but radio silence. CL inhales vigorously, too.
Lockbody Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Multiple people competing to get their check in his hand would have indicated that the price was low...Exactly what happens when someone posts a PSA.Hamer for sale: $500PSA: Look at how low some idiot priced this HamerHamer for sale $1000
hamerhead Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 Well I'll just quit doing that then.It's a double-edge sword - I don't need it, but would like to see somebody here get it. But then after it's posted here.................
