[Roadsters] resend deal because......

[ljordan704 at netscape.net]

 Who are these people whose mission it is to tell people they should back out of deals? What is their motivation? To sell parts? To buy the car? To screw with people? It seems like these days with just a minimal amount of effort you could ascertain the approx value of any car by: Kelly Bluebook, Emunds.com, EBAY, Craigslist, car clubs..in no particular order. So if you don't know the exact value of the car you are selling and make a deal then so be it. Considering that even the acknowledged experts on this list might disagree on value, it would be difficult for an amateur to know. 
I hope it wasn't anyone on these lists who tried the backdoor deal. If so I guess the moral is don't mention a possible buy as? it brings out the unethical.

Craig and others,
  I had the same thing happen to me 7-8 years ago.  I responded to an 
advertisement for a restored 67.5 2000 listed as must sell in Idaho....After 
talking to the owner, he honestly described that the car had been partially 
disassembled and cleaned, but not restored.   Still a very nice car for my 
purpose - driver while I work on my 69.  He wanted 10 or 11K for the car and I 
agreed.  When I called to schedule a time for me to fly up to pay and pick-up 
the car I was told that several people had called him to tell him that a 
restored 67.5 2000 was worth more and he should resend the deal.  I told him the 
best thing was for him to find a way to keep the car and enjoy the 
ride..........
  Phil
