So This has happened twice lately here on the ODT.
One posts item for sale price lets say $995.00 (Prices are fictional just to give an idea)
We message then call about pricing and I'm told $1,000.00 bottom dollar.
Then due to my lack of funds I try to trade, That turns to well trade value has to be uhh. . . $1,100 ???
Then the conversation quickly goes to well bud, I have this other guy he wants it so bad, He said he'd pay
$100 more than anyone else who wanted it. So then he asks what can you do? That I pm'ed first and he wants to be fair. I really can let it go but twice recently with different members. I felt like I was back at the FORD deal in Griffin again. Just sayin.
Is it just me? Or are there others out there noticing this sales tactic?
I'm here to haggle not bid at an auction. Originally the prices with both members were fair or fair ish.
Then it's the old bait and switch.
I guess I could be wrong, and it just be that kind of luck that someone always messages after me with a higher price. Not likely it feels like a crappy sales tactic.
