    I recently delivered some cars for a client that jumped the gun and now needs them brought back because the demand was not there for them. I am getting some of them and I posted the rest on central.

    Not 3 mins after posting I get a call at 10pm. I can barley understand the lady talking some kinda foreigner so I decided to wait. Next morning get a call guy speaks perfect English check his rating call insurance and he is good for a few of them1 hr later same thing.

    Now the fun starts while getting all the vins loaded phone rings again I answer it and another non English speaking lady asks about the cars I told her they were gone. That is when she throws out I can them all and do it cheaper, I said what she says ya I will do it for 500 less than posted. I told her thanks but no thanks and hung up the phone. Not 10 min goes by and she texed 2 times all the way to 1k off the listed price. I blocked her number and got them assigned.

    I know the area they are coming from sucks to get out of I brought them and 24 others there and used central to get out a few times. Every car I booked or called on I always ask for more money never less.

    Are people that hard up that they need to discount what was already not the greatest price to begin with. If someone called and asked me for more I would have giving them what I could.

    When you have 27 people living in one house, you can afford to do things on the cheap.

    This is JMHO, but I think if things don't pick up as they normally do this spring you are going to see a whole lot of equipment for sale,,,,,,by the banks.
