Must be what I've run into. This guy is a sax player and has proven to be a real 'blowhard'. I listed a bike high to see where it goes as I have time. This guy gives me a way lowball offer of 60% less and proceeds to tell me all about why the bike is not worth much. Rather funny actually. I decide to respond and explain why the bike is actually much more desirable than he's letting on and why. He then gives me a list of recent ebay sales of 4130 versions of the bike. I give him a list of the sales prices for the Reynolds 531 version I'm selling (which happen to be around my list as well). It's like a page each response of his. Geeze, is this debate class or something?

I normally don't waste my time but the guy is trying so hard that I felt like responding to him . I told him I've run out of patience and he's STILL sending long drawn out emails trying to browbeat me into accepting his price. Maybe that works somewhere in the world but not here...
Now I feel like toying with him just to see if I can get the last word in. I bet I can string him along for a week or two because the guy wont shut up!
