badgering purchaser rant!

My dad had a '36 Ford pickup that he drove around, it was ok looking but had an amateur paint job over shoddy bodywork (he bought it this way with plans to redo it). He complained about people constantly asking him to sell it, so he started telling people $20k just to drive em off. In it's condition it was probably worth $8-9k, so most people just said "hmm, ok I'll think about it" and walked away. Well one guy wrote him a check, and he sold it that afternoon for $20k. He made a profit of about $14k on that truck lol.
