I guess one of the reasons I like CL is I was a real estate sales person for a few years and I go at it like I did RE sales. I asked the person right up front are you ready to buy today if I show you a house that has all that you asked for. I did very good with this approach. When a CL customer calls me I ask him if he is now driving to wards my house so he gets here first. This question almost always gets rid of the guys who are going to wast my time and the guy who is serious will try and get here with in a few hours. "Are you going to be home tomorrow?" Most of the time my answer is I will be but the bike will be gone. If I don't sell the bike in three days I take down the add and redo it. New picture and rewrite the add, maybe make the price a little higher. I am retired so I can play these games. I seldom ever show a bike on here if I intend to flip it. If there are two Cannonades for sale for $250 I ask $240. Mine will sell and the $250 bikes will not. I have been at this a long time selling audio equipment before I got into bikes.This winter I bought up all the doll houses I could find and two weeks before Christmas I sold over 50 doll houses. My grand kids went crazy playing with all of them. I am a tough skinned old fart but a young girl and her mother bought a bike off me this morning and it was nice to see her so happy.
