Guy Tries To Sell His Truck Online, Regrets It After These Texts From The Worst Buyer Ever
If you ever tried selling anything online, you know that things can go south very quick. Some potential buyers go out of their way to get a better deal, often not even asking, but simply demanding the seller to knock down prices to absurd levels. One such interaction was shared by an internet user all_american_angel and details some of the horrors all internet sellers dread. As they were trying to sell their Ford truck, one person showed interest, but things slowly devolved into a complete mess. “I honestly think I was trolled” they speculated. “In the seller’s defense I may be asking too much. I deleted my ad and I may keep the truck for a while. I want to make sure I’m not ripping anyone off” they added. Scroll down below to read the full exchange and tell us what you think!

Misogynist douche bag? Insecure Micro peen? Failed at Male-hood? The choices are a many! ;)
Load More Replies...Honestly this is nothing out of the ordinary once you're selling in a certain budget range. I'm a cheapskate when it comes to cars, so I've sold many sub-$2000 cars. No matter what the asking price, I would always get a few offers in the 30-50% range. They also like to say "CASH," such as "I'll give you $400 CASH right now," as if it's worth more than a bank transfer. Still, my biggest peeve is the most common message: "What's the lowest you will take?" , which translates to "I'm too lazy/dumb to haggle, can you haggle yourself for me?" One useful piece of information, though: 100% of people who CALL instead of text are serious, interested, capable buyers. A phone call offer of $1000 is worth more than 10 text offers of $1500
I like to respond to “what’s the lowest you will take?” with “what’s the most you will offer?”
