What's yer bottom dollar

[Trailrider]

Why? How much are you willing to pay?

Seriously, why don't people know how to negotiate anymore? Not just here on ODT but anything.

I was selling a truck on FB Marketplace and I'd say 90% of the texts started out like that. And I'd just respond with either the price I had it listed or asked what they would pay. They either don't respond or get mad. Why am I going to tell you my bottom dollar right off the bat when I know you're just going to offer less than what I say? Furthermore, why are you making an offer before you've even come out to look at it? Like at least test drive it and look at everything first

I finally sold it, but not for my bottom dollar.

It's happened plenty here too though.

And that question ALWAYS comes before they even show up to see it

I like to respond with “What is your top dollar?”

Always. It's asked before they even ask for the VIN or any details about it. I would never discuss price on a vehicle until I'd checked the VIN and any issues it may have or work it may need.

On vehicles, I usually just tell them, “if you need to ask that before you even see it, then you may want to lower your expectations and look for something cheaper”
