I sold things a little cheap before and was offered more, but I never back out to make more if my word is invovled. I think it has to do with the way you were brought up. If your pops was a used car dealer, well never mind......  |
I grew up around the family automobile business... in the same location since 1942 and founded back in 1920... My Grandfather's Handshake was his bond.
Never failed... a car could be sitting on the lot for weeks with not one looker... as soon as one person was interested... several more would be too and offers would sometimes ensue... didn't matter, nobody was rushed or pressured.
Grand Dad said it is easy to sell a car, the hard part is building the business with repeat customers and that doesn't happen if they feel pressured...
