I like bike, bikers and messin with bikes. I like buyin em, sellin em, talkin about em, bsin about em....and, for the most part, bikers seem to be "a cut above".
So when I deal with a buttwipe, they usually stick out like a sore thumb. I've been "corresponding" with a fellow who responded to one of my CL listings, for a few days now. REALLY HOT for one of my bikes....REALLY HOT! lots of emails, I send him lotsa pics...back and forth, back and forth... Yesterday he tells me it's SOLD!!! He has loan approval, he wants the vin for insurance, wants to pick it up tonight, blah blah blah. Make appointment, he shows up at appointed time, drools over bike, I shows him inspection sticker, title, run the bike and generally burn up out an hour of time. He's ready to do the deal, hands me a cashiers check for $1100 less than agreed on price. I give him the "Well?" look. He says "Oh, yea, the bank says the loan value is only $xxxx.xx, so that's what they gave me". I give him the blank "And?" So he says "So, that's what the bike is worth." So I say "And what about your down payment?" So he says "Well, the bank guy said that's what the bike is worth, so this is what you have to sell it to me for." So I say "Really?" He gets agitated, says "Yep, you gotta sell me that bike for this amount, we agreed you 'd sell it to me". "That so?" "Yep...you gotta sell it to me, the check's all ready made out in your name." "Ok, I'll sell it to ya." "Really?" "Yup, just as soon as you come up with the other $1100." "But the guy at the bank says $xxxxxxx is the value!!!!!" "Then buy one from him." Handed him back his check, closed up the garage, the whole time he's yelling at me that I "gotta sell me the bike, gotta sell me the bike...what kinda guy are you , tryin' to rip people off???" As I walked away into the house, I told him he needed to leave. He's yellin' at me the whole time. Now he's sending me nasty emails. Cripes. Forty years old and still a little creep.

Does he still live in his mom's basement?
When I was selling my ninja 250, I had a guy come over and wanted to put money down and make payments. I went with it and ask how much he could put down. Me expected half to three thirds. Nope. He wanted to put down $200, make payments, AND take the bike now. Haha. That's a negative ghost rider. |

Hell. I think having my four wisdom teeth pulled should have only cost me $200, not $1200. I'm marching right over there and getting a refund right meow.

Damn...
I was just thinking about putting the ZX-11 up for sale. This thread doesn't exactly inspire me. |
