Had countless time wasters asking for pictures and then a fellow test drove it today. He took it for a drive with his wife, asked a bunch of questions and then told me that "we were too far apart" because the last one he bought was for $200.
If I had to do this for a living, I'd punch someone in the face.

Yup, I had a Sunday afternoon/evening wasted by a young couple who couldn't understand why I couldn't come down at all on the car. Was making $600 off of them, showed them what I paid for it and repairs. Showed them every book value that showed it was way below retail on all 3 book value websites, even a little below private party. Laid out my expenses and how much I have to make before I start making money. The male even said, "I know its a great deal, but..."
They had never bought a car before, and were idiots that couldn't make a decision. I had 2 other buyers waiting to pounce and they couldn't understand why I couldn't hold it for them overnight so they could "think about it".
Finally had them wrapped up around 7:30 PM on what was supposed to be my day off.
Stuff like this happens every day. If I posted it all I would get too angry.
