What if I showed up with 2.5K and said the POS was only worth 1K, but out the goodness of my heart I'd be willing to go the 2.5K?
Just to make sure no one thinks I was rude to this woman, I never insulted her or the horse. I told her I knew I was making a low ball offer, I'd give her cash, no further questions asked. If she wanted to keep trying to sell the horse and couldn't get what she wanted, I'd still be around to take him off her hands at my offer of $800. That's when she said my offer was an insult.
I'd say "Well friend your headed in the right direction." :)
And then I'd take your for a test drive and explain just how much money you could make with my POS, I'd tell you I even have 3 jobs lined up you could do hauling gravel to people I know and you could make $1,500 profit from those jobs and could do them in 2 days time, and thats just from 3 small jobs! I'd then tell you you could pay for the truck in about 8 days at that rate and I really should be asking more for the truck because it is such a good money maker. :)
