Having an attitude when selling a vehicle

Been looking for a truck for a while and so I've read alot of descriptions and always chuckle at the folks who go over the top to sound hard in their description.
This one is my favorite of late. Some Houma baw sitting on the couch wondering why no one wants his shite (besides it being overpriced)
Anyone else take this approach when trying to sell a vehicle?
ETA: This was on Autotrader, not Facebook

PLEASE NOTE: If you are reading this ad, the truck IS STILL available. Please DO NOT email asking if it is still available. I won't respond. And please DO NOT email me asking me what the lowest I'll go. If $27,999 is too much for you or you don't believe my truck is worth $27,999, then make me an offer otherwise move on. If you make me an offer and I like your offer, I'll respond, if I don't, I won't.

People are equally clowns when buying things. I’ve sold many things on Facebook or Mercari, and people ask the dumbest questions.

Maybe you should make an offer and stop bitching.
Supply and demand. You are in demand he has the supply

Probabaly not the best post but if you ever sold anything on Facebook you’ll understand.

Baw is a little aggressive, but this right here is annoying as frick. Some meth head asking if my $10 ice chest is still available that I posted 30 minutes ago before nodding off on drugs and forgetting about it. Repeat ad nauseum.

have you ever sold a vehicle? if you have, you know exactly how he feels and why the ad says that, except the partv about wanting to know if it's still for sale.

From reading that it seems to me that he is just trying to make the process as efficient and painless as possible for all parties.

Is this thread still available? Can you meet me at the Kroger in Katy so I can see it? Will you take a post from my brother-in-law from Canada while I sort mine out?

You see why places like CarMax exist?
Posted on 3/8/24 at 7:08 am to PureBlood
I like to post great deals and say "If it's still posted, it's available....don't ask". The when people make an offer, I just tell them it sold already.

Lots of people just suck baw.
Seems he could’ve just stated “offers potentially considered” but some people are wordy.

Part of the problem is we have a lot of "listers" but few "sellers"
Part of the problem is the general public is as dumb as a pile of rocks.

My favorite are the “make me an offer?” guys like they have some hidden gem they’re ready to get rid of. No bud, how about you list a price and we’ll go down from there.
On the flip side, looking at boats lately. It’s amazing how proud of their shite fisherman are.
Last but not least pet peeve is the redneck confusions between the use of sale and/or sell.

Every person I see selling vehicles on Facebook marketplace appears to be a wannabe car dealer. Each will have like 10 previously sold vehicles.

I have zero issue with this. He won’t waste my time, because I know he will not negotiate. Any product is only worth what people are willing to pay for it regardless of appraisal.

I don't see anything wrong at all in the guy's ad. I know it wasn't craigslist but most other places are no better and the number of responses simply stating "is it still available?" are >5:1 over legit responses. As for pricing I have a firm policy either selling or buying: I'll negotiate but only face to face never by phone/email/text - if you're not serious enough to make the visit, then you're not serious.

I can sympathize with the seller but agree that is probably not the best way to sell a vehicle.
A few years back I put my Jeep up for sale. I got some ridiculous low ball offers. Also had a guy that installed windows for a living offer me a trade for free windows.

I hate buying or selling private-party.
They'll screw you over faster thsn any dealer, they'll lie, plus, they're usually half-wits with over-priced, poorly-maintained "story cars".
