oops...

Maybe this guy should have waited for the seller to remove the original ad before trying to flip this truck:

Here it is again, a day later:

The ads are showing 3 weeks apart for me. Mama must not have been happy when he brought the truck home!!

I would have had a hard time coming off $2500 for it let alone $3500.

Its a flip job. $1150 bucks above the original sellers asking. "firm, but I'll take offers" Huh?

I agree with 69gwc. WAAaaaayyy to high for the condition. It's also a short bed so you're getting less metal for the money. ha ha ha ha

And that's how the fight started.

[Jerry Jones]

Very funny!

[54belair]

Another example of someone watching too many phoney reality shows on tv. (dont get me started on those "flippers" on tv.)

Exactly!

[sir_talk_alot]

the bed really isnt savable in my opinion, lots of dents and wrinkles

[truckster]

I saw a guy try to do that with a Blazer here that I had looked at, but it had a lot of issues. He doubled the price the first week, and by the second month he sold it for less than he paid for it.

[jocko]

yep. and someone will probably buy it thinking they got a steal. sold my 66 a few weeks ago - and it's been on ebay continuously ever since - still there. Reserve still not met. After trying for 6 months to sell it myself, clearly the buyer felt it was worth more (as did I!) BUT, doesn't matter what the seller thinks, only matters what the buyer thinks!

[Bluechevy68]

Yeah I sold my 68 Short stepper and 3 days later it was on the local craigslist. About a month later he has already dropped the price $800 dollars but is still above what I sold it for. maybe I sold it to low but people aren't buying these project trucks here right now. To many almost finished products running around on the cheap.

[no moa]

Some people just shouldn't be able to post on CL or anything else. DUH

[cdowns]

happens here to alot of vehicles and parts here on craigs/// some guys actually post the flippin ads b4 they buy the vehicles

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Nice job buddy looks like the old ask for permission or forgiveness failed at home..

[davepl]

$3750??? For that? I hope there's $3500 in cash in the glove box.

Not a truck story.. but pertains to "flippers"..

Sold a 67 Barracuda three years ago for 3 grand.
I pretty much knew the market, and knew the value of the car
It needed a lot of work, but was pretty solid..
Seller gave me the full moan session as to it wasn't being worth the money I was asking.. But finally paid me as I wasn't in a rush to sell.
You know the type.

After a quicky paint job and a steam cleaning, he put it up on Craigslist two years ago for 14 grand..
It's been on there continuously ever since.. slowly coming down in price.
He even lied about the Salvage title, saying it was a theft recovery.

If the price goes below what I got for it.. I may buy it back..

[Street Smart]

Atleast he did have a long story with it, "Been in the family for over 20 years...".
Seeing that makes me feel better about my "new to me" pickup, and i got an extra two feet in the bed. lol.

[Tinkermc]

thanks for the good laugh
