I never bought anything that I can think off from CL but sold a lot. Sometimes real hard negotiators turn me off and want the stuff for next to nothing. I had a front mount snowblower new at $2500+ and was in great shape. I asked 1200 if I recall and a guy calls and asks how low I would go. I told him 1100. He drove out from 50 miles away and looked and looked and pushed and pulled and really checked it over. He said he would give me 1000. After and hour I told him I would throw in a quart of JD yellow paint because I know how expensive JD paint is. He declined and said he can get them all day long for a 1000, and I told him, not like this one. He left and I was glad I didn't sell it to him, because he was a very rude character. An hour later he called back and asked again what I would take for it and I fudged a bit and told him 1075. He asked if I would put it on my tractor so he could watch it run. I told him it would be way to much trouble. He said he would come out and pick it up for 1075. When he came out he was nice as gold to me. I think he talked to his kid, which was who he was buying it for and he told him not to screw this deal up. Then he asked for my yellow paint and I told him to forget it. That was on the 1100 deal. People can be aggravating.
