Thread: Im gutted - Rant

Sorry, I don't mean to defend them.

I can just see the situation though... you leave and then a guy turns up with a couple of big ones as a a deposit and offers more. That would be a hard one.

i didnt realise that you were... dont worry!

nah i understand if a few thousand changed his mind... as i did knock him downa bit.. but a call to say.. i've been offered this.. would you reconsider your offer.. may of been nice.. still never mind.. thats how some things go...

Thats because I listed it for him. I was actually going to buy it, but after driving it, got back in my Rangie and it just didnt have the same appeal to me.
He called me to say it had been sold and i asked him if was someone from this ad.
Then i found a PM from Steve....

Personally, I think it was a bit low to do what he did and I did mention it to him, but the guy paid the asking price and had 2K cash on him deposit.
I have missed out on a few things this way by going out and not having the deposit with me. Even $100 and a receipt is enough to secure a sale. Just make sure both parties sign the paper.

Would have like to see it go to an AULRO member.

Keep looking Steve, I'm on the hunt for a TD5 D2 atm, I know how much of an arse it can be!

Cheers

Yeah it was a bugger... but hey ho thats how it goes... we had no cash on us and had only contacted him that day.. so we came back home called him did the deal and we were going to go after work to drop a 10% deposit off.. so we were good for the money, and i'd asked for a receipt to be done. like i say tho... one of those things... and we are off to see another this weekend... May have a td5 disco for sale soon if Rach gets her own way

Hmmm... a TD5 D2 for sale you say.......

I'm on the hunt for a TD5 D2 atm

Listen to Rach, she knows......... My God, did I actually say that???????

I recently bought a replacement car for the missus.
While shopping around I phoned a bloke and he said the car was sold and the buyer was coming with the rest of the money the next day, but how much was I going to offer and could I get the cash tonight.
I said no and put the phone down.
Some people have no scruples.

A little birdie tells me Im in for a Dhufish excursion
