Pouty craigslisters

So I see nothing wrong with telling the seller after the test drive "Well I haven't totally fallen for it, but I'll take it for $X"

Then don't make a final deal and don't make the seller think that it's sold.

One rule I've found on craigslist is that if you post something to sell that is worth more than $500, somebody will try to trade you a 4-wheeler for it.

Typically a rusted-out Bronco.

I guess that explains the rusted out Bronco, with no functional exhaust system, that one of my ghetto neighbours has been driving out of the lot around 5:15am every day lately.

If it's a pre-80 or even a post-79 with an SAS then we MAY be able to work something out

Yeah, that's true, but I went above and beyond; giving dimensions of the tub, because he was concerned about being too tall... wheel base dimensions-so he knew it would fit in his trailer. And then the guy was there for over two hours before we even got to talking about money....8 hours later, before I got him out of my driveway. It was f'n crazy.
