1hr40minlate Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I have been offered a 1970 521 It no longer has the J16 but now has an A15 with an automatic. Has a camper shell on the bed. Supposedly only has rust in the bottoms of the front fenders. It has sat for quite awhile. The A15 was rebuilt. I am going to take a look at it tomorrow and grab some pictures. Anyone need this truck? The cost will be 750.00 - 1000.00 1hr40 Link to comment

datsunaholic Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I've found that the "make offer" guys fall in 2 categories: 1) They don't really want to sell, but will sell if someone offers way more than it's worth 2) They do want to sell, and have a price in their head, but are hoping someone offers way more than the price they have set. In both cases it's about control. It's about getting as much from the buyer without having the buyer talk down their price. Which is why I don't buy stuff from folks that don't put at least a $$$/obo amount down. Once you set your price you might end up thinking you asked too little. Link to comment
CharlieBucket Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 it's like they won't say a price, so you say 100 bucks and they get pissed. i mean i am not about to pay 600 bucks for something they would sell for 200.:blink: Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 if they have a email lowball it!!!!!! and leave a phone # and email address. It works. It might be by X mas time. By then its too cold (you change your mind)and goes to the dump anyways Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I like the Hainz idea. If he really wants to off it he'll let you take it cheap. Hell, i cant even GIVE my 69 521 away..tried e-bay & CL a few times. Next jan if it's still here its geting the sawzall. Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 It's the first rule in sales.......the first one to name a price loses! Even if he only wants $300....you say $400 first....he flinches and says "I was thinking more like $600....how about you meet me half way at $500?" You can do the same thing....you want to spend $300...he says $200...you flinch and say I was thinking more around $100...how about me meet at $150? :) Link to comment
Bleach Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 you also need to not worry if they get pissed at your offer. So what! They're obviously imature and have anger issues if they can't just say 'no' in a respectful manner to an offer when they dont' even put a price out there. In Real Estate you have to lowball all the time! ;) dont' let it get to you, just keep making those low offers and then question THEM when they get mad. Ask them why they didn't list a price if they thought it was worth so much?!? like Hainz said, if they can't get the $700 they want for the junker, they'll just trash it and off it goes to the dump the next week. They should have taken your $100 offer :blink: Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 that truck is to wishy washy in parts. " A " motor w/automatic in a 521???? just avoid it. Unless it has a very straight body Link to comment
