At the gas station, a guy walks up and starts talking about the Midget. Uncle had one, blah blah blah. He then asks me what I swear was, "How much did you pay for it." I tell him $1500 and he gets all excited and asks for my phone number. I'm puzzled by this and asked if he wanted to know what I paid or what I'll take. "Yeah!" ??????? I ask him again and he said what I'd take for it. I told him I misunderstood and thought he asked what I paid. I tell him I won't take anything that the car isn't for sale. It was our wedding car and a birthday gift for my wife. "~YOU~ just said you'd take $1500 !!!". I once agin tell him I misunderstood him and the car is not for sale now, nor will it ever be.

"Aww yed get in trouble then if it's her's and you sold it. I'll go $2000 and that's my final offer."

At this point I'm starting to get annoyed.

I told him it's worth 10K AND IT'S NOT FOR SALE !!!!!!!

I know, I know, a RB Midget doesn't bring 10K, but two grand doesn't even buy you a '92 Sentra w/ 330,000 miles on it nowadays.

Two grand; yeah, ~right~ !!!! :rolleyes:
 
It seems like when you don't won't to sell people always want the car but the minute you want to sell no one offers. Anyway I have a 1968 mgc roadster I don't want to sell...no seriously I want to sell it. It's a barn find that is in pretty nice shape.
 
Personally I love the line "What's the least you'll take for it?" A few people got the " I don't know. What's the most you'll give me for it?" :banana:
 
When I have heard that I usually come up with an absurdly high price and say "It's yours today for that price". If they want it bad enough then we can both be winners. If not, they usually shut up and go away.

O.K, y'all proof read it for me first.

Not For Sale: 1979 Midget, fresh home made carpet, out of round crank, world's cheapest tires- one of which is now square. Looks like it was painted with a ball peen hammer. No trades considered...even if it's for a younger wife and another place to live. No serious inquiries please.


How's that? :laugh:
