Clem-
I'll give you $250 for that junky-ass white Miata tub. I'll even throw in a free moped.

Does said Miata buyer have a brother who buys campers in NH? I ask because the A--hole I just sold our camper to a week or so ago was this same sort of shiny happy person you describe.

Oh, trust me...I'd much rather deal with the general public than sell my car to a family member again. Ain't gonna happen without a sit-down talk about how junky my stuff really is.

Yeah...The guy that sold me that white tub was a sheister, I think. I know this law student guy...and I'm thinking about talking to him about suing the guy who sold it to me ;D

People are [shiney-happy-people], but you knew that.
Best you didn't sell it to him; imagine the beating you'd take over the years for every little noise, nick and fringle he found wrong with the car!
Oy!
every time I sell something where someone tries to pull this crap, I just think of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" line "No, it doesn't include the amp".
There's too little time in this world to deal with idiots.
Some of my best stories are derived from dealing with idiots, though.

Ha- yeah, we had a talk. He wanted something that was similar in format to the RX3 he had WAY back in the day, is a disabled (gulf-war syndrome) vet who has WAY more time than me, and completely understood the condition and as-is-where-is nature of the thing. In the end, he'll probably tinker with it, get it running, get bored, and sell it to somebody else or trade it for other projects he takes in. He's kind of a serial-project guy.
I guess I am just crazy in that I love selling cars.
Of course when dealing with the general public it's best just to play dumb. Anything you say will be twisted. Keep your outh shut and say "I don't know" alot and then they have no misconceptions about the condition of the car.
