You just have to read who you are dealing with.I pay almost no attention to the lowbawling guys.Some want to pay a little,and make a lot.For the most part the guys with little money,but a real need are pretty good.After a couple of months of having something for sale I get a barrage of the,you've had it for sale long enough,it's time to drop to our price guys.I always tell them,if I don't sell it in another year or two I'll think about dropping the price.Then you get the internet offers sight unseen.My friend at the junkyard gets a lot of them.He says,how can you make an offer sight unseen? You might look at it,really like it,and want to pay me more.That makes for a quiet pause on the phone.I've bought two Model A's sight unseen,after talking to the sellers,and the bad points of both were overdescribed by the sellers.Both were better than described.
