Some people need a few days to get the money for something expensive like a car. If you're trying to sell a car quickly, someone with "cash in hand" might be an attractive deal to get the car out of their lives faster.

As for lowballers, I had my car listed for $2k and the guy asked me if I could lower the price any so I put it down to $1800 to be nice. But then the guy shows up with only $1500. I was not happy as we had both already agreed on $1800, but I wanted the car out of there so I gave it to him.

Well if you list a item for "Best Offer" or O.B.O. then you got to expect that. I have been guilty of the lowball a few times, and I think for the most part we all have. It actually comes with the territory of selling used items. Most of the times I give what is asked tho. Funny thing I bought a fender or something from blown67 and he wanted 35 bucks. I got there and somehow he ended up saying give me 25. I still gave him 35, a good price is a good price.

Not sure if he remembers that.

Never know until you ask... Why pay 5000 for a car when the guy would have taken 4000, when all you had to do was ask.

EXACTLY

If you are firm on a price, FUCKING PUT THE PRICE AND PUT "FIRM." Then just delete the "offers." Is it really tearing up your world
