I always wondered how some cars sold right away and some didn't . I had one for sale yesterday and I think I have the secret. Take a vehicle, Motorcycle ,lawn mower almost anything and put it for sale at way too much money. Then take a pic with the real car thats for sale partially hidden. Its great if you just leave enough of the fender or 1/4 panel that someone can recognize it. No-one will want the item for sale ,but everyone wants the one hidden in behind. Is this creative advertising or what.
I think your onto something. I just updated a picture of a car for sale and got more questions about the truck parked in front of it.
I thought you were going to say post a pic of a perfect one along with it then say " picture is what car could like". I hate when people do this.
Take an old ratty car, put it in a barn, cover it with dust, dirt and fill it with rodent droppings. Then tell everybody you can't/won't sell it. Sit back and watch the offers come in.
Sold 1 this week, kinda an funny way. Stopped by local trim shop to get a yard of black vinyl for a little project. Owner and his lead stitcher come out side to look @ my RPU. His stitcher says" I want it " I give him a stupid price, thinkin he'll beat me up on it, and to my surprise he say's I'll buy it, see ya after work today. Here it is goin away that night.
thought can only sell at barrett-jackson - Ha! yep, sometimes trying too hard slows down results. just gotta be in the right place at the right time.
If you order food off a menu with pictures, you KNOW what you'll get won't be worth calling "food". A menu with real food lets the words do the talking...
Another good way to get rid of, oops, mean help sell a car, is, if at a swap meet, and aren't getting any lookers, pop the hood and have a couple of your buddy's looking under the hood and under the car....bingo you have a crowd around the car!
da34guy that's sure a nice SUV ya got. And that metal garage ain't bad. Joecool is asking too much for his lawn mower.
Funny but true thread goin here! One way I accidentally disc to sell a vehicle especially a truck is to remove the hood & place it in the bed or lay it up beside it. I proved this to a co worker 3 times in a row. Works mostly for cheaper vehicles. A dude like me drives by or sees it sitting close to road no for sale sign or in background ad pic n thinks....... "Man it Must have problem n I can pick it up cheap!" I kid u not! I use to pic ol rigs up cheap n sell a few ol trucks back in the day. This would be funny for some hamb's to try if you have the chance! No for sale sign, close to road & No hood. Flux
Quit telling Gary that........it'll go to his head!!!! John and I never give him a kind word........keeps him humble!
