The Wholesale Game

If you know for sure you got one of those on the line every time they go low come back with a higher price than originally asked for.

If they question that or go low again then come back even higher... tell 'em you're getting full price offers or higher - yea say you're getting
5-7k above asking price and see if they will go 1-2k over your asking price - play the game.

When I put my 2012 M.T. Patriot up for sale not realizing the market I got tons of replies - figured something was up took down the C.L. ad and
reposted the next day for another $3,000. Still got tons of offers. Jacked it up another $1,000 and sold it totally happy with the price I was
getting. The gal that bought it was nice so at the bank with cash to do the deal I re-bated her $1,000 back to her... she was happy as a clam for that and
I was more than happy with the price I got.

 

How happy was she? Get something else for that thousand? (wink, wink)

 

I just KBB’d my SR5 out of curiosity and it says $39k-$42k private seller??? What is this damn market…

 

Scammers used to frequent the online sales. I'm sure they still do.
Want to buy it, sight unseen, no haggling. Sends you very official looking bogus payment on "hold pending" plus plenty extra for shipping. Waits a little while, contacts you and requests you prepay the shipper who is also bogus before he will come to pick up the vehicle.

 

Listed a 2018 Ford Transit Connect on Craigslist and Autotrader. Had checked with Carvana & Vroom (I've used both before and had good results) but figured I would try the private market as well. Ford dealer in Central Fl drove to my house with a driver and handed me a check for $27,500. Barely looked at the van. I paid $25,000 brand new in Nov 2018. Van had 38,000 miles on it.

 

right?! I did the same and private party came out to 43-48k lol
