For Sale I know I should be amused...1978 NYB...

[cantflip]

Free enterprise and all, I know I should be amused... but this flip has simply been bugging the heck out of me every time I see it. It is probably a nice enough car... but the seller is a moron and the latest appears to be a scammer, but they have better pics.

I stopped posting seller's phone numbers. Latasha is either a scammer or a flipper, and while the car needed better marketing... $9k??? I hope Latasha meets karma...

I know there are those who are hopeful that the values will rise, I am not one of them at this time. I don't know if I ever will be, I don't buy to sell and I have found I really don't care to have the stuff I own become too valued by others... just gets me more paranoid about securing it.

I respect an honest flip or the one's that cycle through their toys... but whatever misguided person that buys what we know to be a $2500 car for 3-4 times that is getting fleeced IMO. That doesn't match the description of "honest seller" to me. That is "buyer beware".

If the original seller is at $5k OBO... It may be time to try an email and an offer, but the long running "email only" ads are why I never bothered with this one before...

He'll be at $2500 shortly....

So I'm assuming what's going on is an actual seller has it up for $5K and at the same time another (bad) person, Latisha, has the same car up for $9K

If Latisha get's a bite she'll buy it and turn a quick profit or just jip someone out and give them nothing and keep the whole $9K

You're giving Latasha waaaay too much credit. She's looking at the whole nine grand.

That is one of the two options I said. I didn't give her any credit
