Flip job!
The real question is why do you care what he's selling it for. Are you gonna buy it, probably not. So, just move on with your life and let the seller do the same. It will sell for what it's worth plain and simple. This is the problem w\ people now a days. You worry about something that is absolutely none of your buisness period. I could buy a cheap dart, duster, demon everyday of the week for less then 2000.00, they are everywhere. I see them on Craigslist all the time. There are good deals everywhere but no one talks about them because you guys are to busy bitching about the expensive ones.
Get over it
One more thing, if a person isn't willing to do the research and buys the 1st thing they come across for some outragous price then it is thier own fault. I don't fell sorry for them. I run a garage and I have a guy that comes by all the time looking at cars i've restored. He always ask me about cars and what he should buy, and I always give him my opinion and tell him for 35.00 dollars I'll throw a car up on the hoist and look it over good. Well, he thinks I'm a rip because I want 35.00 bucks for my time so the other month he bought a 70 Nova. So, I had my Dart out front of the shop and he stopped in to check it out and was saying he wanted to know who painted it and how much. I told him the guys name and told him a good paint job now a days is somewhere around 5 to 10k dependig on body work. Once again he ranted about how that's a rip. The truth is this guys a asshole and the Nova he bought is a total piece of **** w/ more bondo in it then I've ever seen. Looks like someone hung the quarters on it right over top of the old ones and the truth is I think it's funny. For 35 bucks I could have saved him so much time and money. The point I'm making here is if your a Dumbass your gonna get treated like one and someone is gonna rip you off. But, if you listen, ask questions, and do your research some of us in this hobby will take care of you and help you along the way.
Your post is right on the money. :cheers:
This is for everyone......
When it comes down to it, why do you give a ****?
Really?
Why is everyone whining about it?
If you don't want to buy it, then don't. It's none of your business what he buys it for and sells it for.
Just look for the deals that you can afford and forget about everyone else.
It's a lot less stressful.
I'll bet you wouldn't care too much if he took a loss on the car would you? Then you would call him a dumbass. Human nature?
Why is everyone so concerned about this topic all of a sudden?
There is a lot of jealousy involved here is my guess.
Be honest with yourself, if you could buy a car and make money on it, wouldn't you do it? Or parts for that matter?
If you are worried about flippers, then don't buy anything from a grocery store, car dealership, car parts store, paint supply store, gas station, etc.
They are the people really making money off of your sorry tired ***.
We all need a group hug now.
JMHO.
