Seller posts item,price and contact info. This is called an offer.<br />2. Buyer contacts seller and accepts offer or modifies it (e.g. proposes another price.)<br />3. If seller agrees, arrange for executing the transaction.<br /><br /><br />Here is what doesn't work too well.<br /><br />1. Don't reply to the post asking the seller to call you when he's put his contact info in the ad. I post a bunch of stuff of a bunch of sites, and don't sit around monitoring the posts. Besides, I'm not as desperate for the cash as likely you are for the parts.<br /><br />2. Don't ask the seller "what's the lowest you'll take?" That is a stupid question - The price in the ad is what the seller wants. If they put OBO, make YOUR offer. Even if they didn't put OBO, throw a number out. <br /><br />3. Figure out first if you are willing to drive out and pick it up. Most sellers aren't gonna drive 40 miles to deliver to you a $100 part. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="rolleyes.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>LILstock3valve</b> <br /><small>Member # 4702</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2011,1,9,14,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> ~~~~^^^~~~~ Nice.
