That was sunday when he could not get the check cashed, he was going to come on monday with the cash. Monday comes he is in the middle of moving to FL and was to late for him to leave. At the same time, I am having many email offer to end the auction early, most around 6k. But then anouther guy wanting it for 6700 buy now. Out of kindness, I refuse the 6700 and was willing to take the 700$ loss since the NC guy drove for 16hrs and emailed me the first 15min of the auction being on ebay. So now the 6700$ guy and 5 6000$ people are waiting to see if its sold. Now since yesterday the auction shot to 6501$ and its still got 3 days left so I bet it would come close to if not break 7k. I also do not have time to wait for the auction to end since my rb26 clip has arrived 3days ago and it is now time to pay up. That is why I had a buy now. And going with nc 6k guy was playing it safe. I thought of letting the 6700$ guy get it, then pay the nc guy 200$ for his time, but still I think I will take the 500$ loss and let it go for 6k. What would you do if you were in my shoes. Am I being to nice? What price should I have as my limit, as in once the price reaches a certain hight, when should I forget about the NC guy and his 6k and time, and go with a greater deal. 6500? 6800? ? ? ?
-Thanks, Snail

that's quite a pickle you got yourself there.....
um, I'd call the NC guy and just tell him you need the money soon and have been offered more but are giving him the first chance since he talked to you first. Hopefully that would be some motivation for him. Tell him he's got 2 days since the auction ends in 3? if he doens't work out I'd say wait until the end of the auction (if you can, at least try) and tell the $6700 guy if the end bidder does not workout he's next on the list? I don't think I'd give the NC guy money though, that's being a little too generous...hehe. Think car salesman! haha
about the trans-am guy. I think he's more calling you a ricer b/c you called your car fast and to him....it's not. Compared to a stock 240 it's pretty quick! Whatever, Like the other guys said, decline him politely...haha. "this ricer has class" lol Some domestic guys call any import rice burner or something. I think it's funny that he has ex-scca handling but then boasts his 1/4 mile time.....eh whatever..... All the guy is trying to do is get a rise out of you....
