This is a classic response from a bitter Craigslist poster....I have made responses to people the same way in the past.
Tire kickers need to be more up front, right out of the shot. they need to just say whatever there intentions are.
Let it be " the dealer fire sold them for $5000 so I'm not going to pay more then that" or "if you have not replaced the stator it's going to cost me $1500 to replace"
Or my favorite the blue book value is $???? So I want to pay $1500 less
For all you know the poor guy bought the bike 3/10/09 and payed $10,500
I wish tire kickers would unite and stand up to sh-t that really matter, like gas prices or home prices or city spending.
Rant over.
