The guy sat there with my lawn mower would rev it up and instantly rev it back down. It's a carburated mower, everytime he did this it spit gas out the exhaust. Really started to piss me off I just wanted to tell him to leave. He did this a good dozen times if not more. And for some reason he didn't believe me when I told him my reason for selling was that I found a full time job and no longer have time to mow in the summer and my yard is a 1/2 acre leaving me with no need for a 22 hp 48" lawn mower. I can push mow the darn thing and get my $1500 back LOL
What track it is?

1.25 ripsaw. I may have one of them for sale in the fall as I have 2 of them in good shape, not sure what my track situation will be quite yet on my current sled but I'm not putting either of the ripsaws on.
I've also had very good luck, even had a guy send me money ahead of time cause he didn't want to spend the gas and time. I especially like the replies that mention they are really not interested in what I have for sale, but that I " sounded interesting and fun in the ad and would like to get together." ***
I also think that goes for EVERY person !reiley99 said:

Dave, I will give you a $100, but you need to wash it, rotate the tires, put a new battery in it, and deliver it to me. Oh and top off the gas tank after you change the oil. And I want all service records and a Lawnmowerfax to see that it has not been in a major colision. I have cash and Fireball on "Tap".
That reminds me pr1, what happened to you paying me to take that oil off your hands?

Wow what a waste of time and money
Everyone, probably even every poster on this thread, has tried to lower the price on something you are buying. It never hurts to ask.
I just recently bought a sled for my kids, asking price of $1900, said he'd go $1800 on the phone. So I drive up there, and offer $1700, he says $1750, not a dime lower. Himed and hawed with him for about 20 minutes. After I told him I was putting a butt on the seat, not parting it out, he throws in a cover, skid plate, windshield bag, and roller skates. So I took it. We were both happy.
If the guy drove two hours, and wouldn't give you your bottom dollar, he was just looking to make a buck on you and your part. Let him walk, and smile when the next guy pays you what you ask.

I agree. I have done it but $1,700 down from $1,900 is quite different than already offering a deal at $200 and some moron says he'll give me $100, without even looking at it, then chastising me for two hours after I told him no is another. Had another idiot do the same thing yesterday but at least he was nice enough to not text me for two hours after the fact calling me every name I can't post on here!

Good for you for sticking to your guns. Some idiots are just sooooo dumb. Who drives 220 miles just to go home empty handed over $15 flippin bucks? Crazy! When I drove 6 hrs to get my RMK up in Duluth (12 hrs round trip), they guy knew he had me. Like I was going to go home without it unless it blew up? Even then, I prob would have thrown out a low ball offer. LOL!
