It was a good start. You know you have a buyer in front of you.
Why didn't you negotiate?
Question is did you actually get $9000 out of the car? I've seen plenty of ads where people want stupid money for junk and they tend to act the same way when you offer them a reasonable price. Myself I don't even bother with those types of stupid people anymore.
Flip side of that is your always gonna get people that expect you to damn near give something away when it really is worth money. Ford people are BAD for that, can't stand dealing with them and anymore unless it's one hell of a deal I won't touch anything ford for that reason.
But here lately you would be suprized at what people will take if you actually have the cash in hand and don't waste hours of their time asking questions and pissing around. They get sick and tired of the stupid people on cl asking 1000 questions and then not having any money etc.
Things people collect, things you suspect people might Want to collect one day, things that are in general demand, and things you can find a good deal on.
I've bought from CL (with the intention of selling on eBay/Amazon) so much, I rent a desk at a local pawnshop and just schedule times for people to bring me their stuff.
I usually make a good profit from older video games, action figures, and other little knick-knacks. I suspected a couple years ago that the "Turbo Man" Action figure would be in demand, because I think that in time, people will consider the movie "Jingle All the Way" a classic. I target searched for them through CL, paid for shipping blindly, and I've bought those things for $30 and sold them for $200 before. I sell video games because it's easy volume on eBay, and volume and traffic is essential to eBay. Another great thing is to offer people money for name brand clothing. I cant tell you how many pairs of lightly worn Ugg Boots Ive bought for $15 and sold for $50 or more. I'm still reselling them during the summer. Just put a CL ad up saying "Buying Name Brand Clothing, Shoes, Purses, and more" - communicate through e-mail and try to get as much information as possible. You'll usually get a list of clothes people want to sell off to you. Do a quick "Advanced Search" on eBay to figure out what they sell for, and offer the customer 20-25% of that price. I can't tell you how many Abercrombie shirts I've bought for a couple bucks and sold for near retail price. Plus, name brand stuff is an AWESOME way to bring traffic to your existing eBay inventory.
