he was probley a scammer and was not counting on someone to want to come pick it up.

 

I would not even call him back. However if you do, tell him the price is now only 4000 for the inconvenience, and you want it delivered, that is you last and final offer or i will go pick up one in Akron tomorrow morning. Play straight hardball for him jerkin you around, and if he dont want to then just let it go.

Tell him you are looking at one somewhere else. Its not like you need it. And if thats got the damage to the bike, who else knows whats wrong with it. Tell hime you are lookin at one for like $4300 so if he wants to do $4100 you'll do it, if not, peace out. I wouldnt buy it from him screwing with you or the damage. Im sure there is plenty more. Craiglist is always a good place. Or search eBay and do within like 25 miles or whatevr and start emailing people.

 

yeah..ive played this game before..told me someone offered him $500.00 more then what i was going to pay him..what he didnt know is i had 2 other fall back bikes lined up..when he saw me on a different bike my phone must have rang 7 times..good luck..i would tell him 4,500 or no deal, the worst he could say is no, and then you go to akron and get the other one

 

If you're willing to drive to SW MI, I have a good friend from HS who is looking to sell his 04 black and silver with left side damage. He won't do you wrong and won't spin you in circles. Let me know if you're interested. He's dealing b/c he's leaving in August for AF pilot training.


Edit: even if you're not willing to drive, he might be willing to meet half way. I'll put my reputation on him and the bike.

 

^ See there ya go man, your a trailer rental and a day off work away from havin a better bike already.
