Using your own words from post 1
" This may seem harsh.
My rule of thumb for vehicle sales:
* If I don't want to sell, quote a price at least three times my replacement cost. "
You admit to giving a "buyer" pricing 3X replacement cost, how is that not outrageous? ( Replacement cost being market value. )
I didn't say I saw a "For Sale " sign, but when you give a person a price that signifies that the car is for sale. ". . Usually I say $3.5K, . . . "
Making a personal attack on a forum member can get your post deleted.

Here is the link to the car, also in post#1 and $3.5K is reasonable for the current condition.
SOLD: 1980 Mercedes W123 240D – China blue
3x the current value would be $10.5K...

That is serious QUESTION of how I should respond to these unwanted random tire kickers, in no way personal to you...
