I am selling a 4 wheeler on craigslist as well as in a few local papers and such.. I have had alot of interest but man, what is it about selling stuff that brings out the dumb ass's? I just had a guy (which inspired me to make this thread) that called and asked if I still had the 4 wheeler for sale. I told him yes, and he asked if I only wanted cash. I asked him if he was looking for a trade of some sort (Which states in my craiglist add I'm not interested in) and he goes "No as far as payment". I said, yeah, cash in hand. He said ok and hung up.. So whatd this guy intend on, writing me a bad check? Thinking a local seller is gonna let him put it on his credit card??
Last weekend I had a guy come out who was probably in his mid 40's. 1st thing he does is grabs my back rack and starts pulling it side to side, up and down pretty hard. Then gets on it and starts jumping up and down. So I asked him "what are you doing?" and he told me "I'm trying to bottom it out". I told him I highly doubt he would bottom it out and he asked why. So I told him "well I got a good 60-70lbs on you and a good foot and a half and I dont even bottom it out. So then he argued with me he could bottom it out. I told him whatever. He asked if he could take it for a ride, and being I could see the moron in this guy I told him ok but to keep it in the 1st few gears and drive slow because I didnt want him getting hurt. (its a 650 quad 4 wheeler, so its pretty quick). So he hoped on and held it balls to the walls up and down the road a couple times. So on one of his swipes I went up to the road and told him to park it. this point I was pretty pissed. So he pulls in and asks me if he can jump the driveway with it. I told him as soon as he puts $2700 in my hand he can jump whatever he wants with it. Then he goes on to ask me whos "crappy car" was in the driveway (refering to my dads work car). I told him it was my dads work car. Then he asked who's chevy was in the driveway (My dad was changing oil in his truck) and I told him my dads. Then he said "Suprising. you have a chevy with its hood up." this was the last draw. I asked him what year his dodge was. He told me a 2005. I asked him how many miles was on it and he replied with 47K. I told him I thought it was funny how it has 1/3rd the miles on his truck thats 5 years newer and his cab corners are already rusted out.. He didnt like this.. He dropped it and moved on back to my 4 wheeler. He was sitting there telling me how slow it was and how he had a 400 at home that could "smoke it". So I told him to go get it and lets go. He quickly moved on to another subject. He then asked what was my bottom dollar and I told him to save his money because he will need it for his new transmission in his truck within the next 3,000 miles he's going to need and started to walk away. He told me he would give me $2500 and I just told him to get out of here. He asked what was my problem and I told him I wouldnt sell him my 4 wheeler for 3k because its simply way to cool for him and told him to leave again. He left and called me when he got home and told me he would take it for my asking price. I asked him why would he want it if he already had a 400 at home that could "smoke it" sine he told me he was looking for something extremly fast? He paused and asked when he could pick it up. I told him it wasn't for sale.
Then I get people asking me how the 4 wheel drive works daily (when in the add it states its 2 wheel drive and has pictures of it.. It doesn't even LOOK like it would be a 4 wheeler that has 4 wheel drive). I've had people call and ask how the lighting works on it, how the tires are (again after stating the tires on it are new).. Do people not read? not look at pictures???
This 4 wheeler I have is my baby and is something I have taken pride in keeping nice. I wash it after every run, wax it once a month and maintain it very well. I havnt beat on this 4 wheeler a day in my life and is by FAR one of the cleanest 4 wheelers you will find.. I am probably one of the most laid back, polite guys you will find. Some of these morons have just left me completely speechless and the one guy I had to just walk away from before I rapped him in the nose..
Whats the deal with some people???
