tired of "buyers"

Im just tired of when some 17-18 yr old kids come in backyard where my charger is parked and ask me to sell it to them for $1300. Today I had yet another kid call me and ask if I want to take $1300 for my R/T. I just couldnt bring myself to tell him how he has no clue how much more it's really worth. Is it that bad that I have to put big poster on there NOT FOR SALE, DONT ASK. Or should I let a pitbull in the yard :)

You don't have a "For Sale" sign in it, do you? That could be the problem, better check.

I once put a For Sale sign in front of my mother's house & got all the neighbors asking her why she was moving. It was pretty funny since I'd take it down before she came home & she never saw it. :D

Why do these "kids" have your phone number?  Maybe you should pick your friends better.  :icon_smile_blackeye:

NOT FOR SALE, DONT ASK.

If a sign was ever to let people know who they were dealing with, then this is the one for you, silver!!!

Around here people just write NO in big letters on the windshield. It works.

Not for anything, but one of those "kids" almost got me once.  It was about 5 years ago, I had just gotten the car back from paint and it looked like shit.  I was so down that I had it outside under a cover.  a kid came and asked and I actually thought about it for about 5 seconds.  then I dropped a couple hundred having the car wetsanded and buffed out and all was well.

moral of the story to you young guys: keep asking, so what if you annoy some people.  you might catch the right guy on the right and get a good deal.

So are you saying you never asked someone if their car was for sale??  I damn sure did. I bought a bunch of them too!!

Yes, it can be a pain in your ass. If it was a pile of shit nobody would ask... ;)

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

Ok, ok, so you're 13. Maybe you should change your user name to I'm13 so you don't have to write in every other post. ;)

I've been bugging the crap out of the owner of a '69 hemi charger cause he works on it very little at a time and another owner of an org '68 hemi cuda s/s car but he just doesn't care. My dad offered him 10,000 2 yrs ago but he was attached to it to much cause he was the org owner. The Barracuda is another story ^-^

In my experience, "NOT FOR SALE!" doesn't work very well. 

It usually means the kids will go right on asking you anyway, and then they'll get annoyed when you claim that the car is worth the "unreasonable amount" that it actually is.

--------------------------------------------------

I say just get a sign that says:

Sorry, not for sale.
You can find Chargers for sale on Ebay & in classifieds. 
They are usually worth about $_______  in this condition.

Try reverse psychology. Put a for sale sign on it with an asking price of 95k firm.

I just say no, it's not for sale.  Kinda flattering that other people want my car, really.  I've never had anyone ask more than once, except as a joke.
Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.  Especially if they have access to the internet.

ChargerHound69

I ask people all the time if their car is FOR SALE, and people ask me if my cars are FOR SALE.  That is what you have to do to find out.  Maybe your car appears abandoned it the back yard, or maybe it really looks like it is only worth $1300 bucks. 
The only way people are going to find out is to ask.

The other thing I am wondering is why  does this kid have your phone number???

no its actually in BACKYARD. Little punk didnt have much to do so he was walking around sneaking around people's yards, checking out what they got. That more what pisses me off than lowball offer. And he was pushy too, insisting how he wants to check it out etc under hood. And I told him its real R/T with 440, cant buy 74 318 in good condition for $1300 nowadays

So basically you got bullied by a 13 year old to see your car. :-\

Car cover + chained up rabid dog = end of problems. ;D

So the back yards in Spokane aren't outdoors? I'm just saying if you were taking better care of the car under a car cover, in a garage or carport, etc., you wouldn't have a problem and you'd be killiing two birds with one stone.

Hahaha that's good.

I like that, I may get that myself.

I was pulling into my neighborhood one day and this guy hangs half his body out of his truck trying to get my attention.  "Just name your price- I'll pay!" he said.  I just chuckled and yelled out "Thank you, but she isn't for sale- I waited 20 years to get one of these!" He just smiled back and shook his head in agreement.

I find it flattering when people make offers for my baby.
