yes haggle is part of it..... 66 Merc, original faded red, white buckets, 390 console auto, all original, no rust, drive it deal. he says, I know you are a Mopar guy, BUT... you know anyone that might want it . $300.
I had a good buddy that was a Ford nut, but he said hey, its almost a Ford. he travels the 15 mi to see it, makes the guy an offer of $200. the guy takes it feeling like $300 was pretty darn cheap. I knew that the seller a $100 was like a bunch to him..... my bud drives it home. I felt bad for the seller. ( the guy never called me again with anything for sale he found)....
back South where I was raised, I have seen someone have a whatever, priced plenty cheap, guy comes to look and makes a counteroffer. the seller just tells him to get in his car and don't come back!!! LOL
years back at the Nats, I never had any NOS, BUT that year I had a pair of NOS 70 cuda headlight bezels, in the box, MINT. no one repoped them and good used ones were non existant. I priced them at $300 FIRM> I had maybe 1000 people look at them, 300 made me an "offer", good buddy that had several 70 cuda hemi cars, he wanted them but hated to think of paying $300 for the pair!!!! ( he could afford them no doubt).. they sat at my spot thru 11 o clock Sum a m, till I started to pack up for the 12 hour drive back to Mo. guy comes up and pays the $300, 5 minutes later my buddy runs up wanting them!!!! LOL said sorry, I told you 3 days ago to buy them... he says, I know!!!!!!!!
