Hi Rev

 

John here, the Dad component of Whittie’s DADSON team, I’ve just spent the last day and a half covered from head to toe in grease and crap from removing four litres of rust preventative grease and half a bucket of tar from Whittie’s English delivered Zed…..It had better be worth it.

 

As you know I referred a friend to you who is looking to buy a sports car and likes the idea of a Zed he is one of your genuine buyers but sadly I don’t think he will be buying yours.

 

If you were to offer an item for sale at offers over $5,000 you should reasonably expect to attract buyers with a price expectation of $4,500 to $5,500 which represents a range of 10% so it follows that when offering something as you are at offers over $20,000 you should expect to attract buyers with a price expectation of $18,000 to $22,000.

 

Rev, I’ll buy your car in a heart beat for $20,000, so I guess that now makes four genuine buyers but you have told me that your minimum is $25,000 which is 25% away from your indicated price, at that price I’m not a buyer and it appears your three genuine buyers are not either.

 

I think you could save yourself and prospective purchasers a lot of time and grief and achieve a sale sooner by adjusting your price to offers over $25,000 which is by no means a ridiculous price, then at least new enquirers will have a similar price expectation to you.

 

Good luck with the sale.

 

John

Well I guess this is where I chime in.  The whole idea of offers over $20K, yes is subjective but so is the market.  In no way would I put my integrity at risk 'baiting' a buyer, I simply put it 'out there' that for anyone seriously interested in a seriously good solid Zed they could contact me with what they thought the car was worth to them.  Yes I have a figure in my head and yes some have offered close, but I'm just a little concerned that this kind of comment makes it seem that I'm somewhat 'underhanded' in my advertised price.

 

So as my integrity is worth everything to me the car is for sale @ $24,500 not negotiable (to keep everyone happy) C'mon boys...game on! ;)

Just to Chip in also.

 

I was interested in Rev's car, And after expressing an intrested,  the rev's responce was immediate and to the point to what his expectations where in the car. There was  no stringin along or tyre kickin involved, with one query i know where i stood and i think this is a testiment to Rev's integrity.

 

I believe he has been upfront as any person could be when sellin such a unique item.

 

Just have some tough choices to make now, and not the only one by the looks of it!

Just a quick post to let you know that deposit has been taken.  I will allow the buyer to update after he picks the car up!

Almost been 18 months since I purchased revzed. And I believe this is not done enough, but took her for a spin today and the smile on my dial is as large as the day I drove her outta rev's driveway. Thankyou for all your experience and talent in Building the car I always wanted to a degree beyond my expectations.
