That’s why I’d never try to sell a car by myself, it’s just not worth the trouble.
I used to cubstone a lot of used cars. Started out on classified ads in the paper before there was a Craigslist.
I’ve had some crazy incidents. Never dangerous. But weird.
One time it was 10 pm. The test drives were done and the buyer wanted the car. I lowered the price to $2300 and he put all sorts of cash on the table. Tens, Twenties, Fifties and Hundreds.
But he could not count.
So I sorted the bills, counted it up and he was $120 short. He really was not trying to short change me, he really was just that dumb.
By now I was getting unhappy. I said look. Come back tomorrow with more, but for now - We Are Done. Go home.
He could’nt. He had come in from 200 miles away. I made him go back to the Wal Mart and have some friend/family Western Union him more money. He came back with the correct price. I signed the title and handed him the keys. He left.
It was midnite by that time.
Oh well. I made money on that car.
