What is it with people???
Why is it that when you're selling something VERY cheap, people still try and knock you down???? why do people want something for nothing? traders who sell snoopers will know the one i'm selling for £240 is cheap no?
anyone got any thoughts on this? surely i cant be the only one??

It's because people want something for nothing.
I know I do
If it's something which I know he's deperate to sell or I can get elsewhere easy enough then I'll kick his head in on the price.
If his offer is too low tell him to f*ck off, if not take his offer!
Hagglings great, part of my last job was buying motorbikes out the paper.
Becomes a game seeing how hard you can be on the price
Been thrown out of someone house before with him refusing to sell me the bike for the asking price cos my intial offer was such an insult
Part and parcel of business

I've got a mate who will always try to knock you down. Recently he sold a Astra rear beam to someone local for £50 and then tried to buy it back for £40.

When i was supplying public and said i sold Bosch parts cheap...the majority thought when i said cheap i meant like nothing Example:-
A grey injector....most places are £65 minimum
My price then was £56...now surely you need 4 to 8 so thats a saving of £36 to £72
BUT that dont make people buy them 
I can only assume they thought i meant no more than £10 each
Trade only for me!
