Here's my bottom line:
I've bought alot of things in my life... cars... computers... whatever. Unless it's something being sold commercially enmasse, usually the very first question I ask is, "Why are you selling?" and if the answer doesn't convince me.... I move on. Now, if I go to buy a Corvette, and the guy has 30 Vettes sitting on the lot, I probly don't need to ask that question. But if it's some private guy who has a perfectly good car, and is selling it dirt cheap... yeah.... I wanna know. His answer to that question will determine whether or not I investigate what he says to be true and it actually IS a good deal, or whether I walk from it altogether.
This is how one prevents himself from getting fucked.
Guy #1: I got this hot car for sale man... $45K new, it's only a 2 months old, yours for $15K
Guy #2: Wow! Awesome! Why are you selling?
Guy #1: I'm sick of hot babes in bikinis staring at me all the time.
Guy #2: Really? Cool! I'll take it.
What Guy #1 didn't tell Guy #2 is that he stole the fuckin' car from the mafia, they're lookin' to kill the guy they catch driving it, and the heads are warped.
Guy #2 got fucked dry because, according to gotys, "it shouldn't matter to the buyer. It's a good deal."
If it was such a good fucking deal, Guy #1 would've kept it.
