The power tilt gn cam is still in limbo. I looked at it on Mothers day and the seller said he had one guy interested but he hadn't commited to buying. Being a Sunday I wasn't able to give him cash to buy it. I told him I was very interested and asked him what he has to get for it. He said he wanted $3500
I explained that I'd need to order the gn hitch and install it so I wouldn't be able to pick it up for a week or two. He said that was fine, A few days past while I was looking for the hitch, I called him and asked if I could come take another look. At this point I had the cash for it. I got there and talked with him abit about the trailer. Then I offered him $3200 for it, he got all insulted and say no. I said that was fine and I'd give him the $3500 he wanted but I'd still need to get the hitch so it would stay there until I got it in. Then he tells me that the original guy interested is first inline and he would call him to see if he still wanted it. I explained that I had cash in hand for the trailer then and there. He then says that the other guy is giving him $3750 for it. I chuckle and say well you told me you'd take $3500 so that's what I'm offering. Then he said he'd contact the other guy the next day and get back to me. Well the day goes by and no call, so I call him and says the other guy is taking it for more than I offered. I thanked him and hung up. Now I really wanted the trailer and don't feel I lowballed him in anyway. I had cash so I obviously was serious. I almost called him back from another number and asked if the trailer was still forsale. The odd part was he told me a few other's looked at it and offered only 3k for it.
I found another 10k 18' cam, it looks like I'll end up with it. I wish I had just given him the $3500 without offering lower since that's where everything went sideways. Although I don't feel like my offer was insulting in anyway. What do you guys think? The guy did tell me his real job is a salesman so that may explain this shady behavior.
