I'm not the one posting at 1 in the morning and taking time to quote what everybody says.
I live in California, so it was 10 pm, not 1 am. Moreover, I didn't quote "what everybody says" rather I just quoted what "you" said when you begged people over and over and over again to give their opinions of your truck.
Do you have a life or do you just get off by telling eveyone there stuff sucks so you can justify yours being crap?
On the one hand, I never said that your truck sucked. Not once. In fact I said that you had done some nice things to your truck. I gave you the input you requested, however, about the price you were asking by telling you in my opinion, the price was too high for the kind of paint/body work it needed.
On the other hand, where did I justify my EB being crap. Sorry, but my 1975 has all the bells and whistles your has, and more, plus doors and top, but it doesn't have ANY of the appearance/body/rust/paint issues yours has. I could justify $14k for mine, and probably still would have to work and wait to get that price. And the prices an EB can command in So Cal are much higher than other regions.
If you were tring to sell yours I certainly would not try to kill your deal by publicly posting some of the stuff you have posted. If I had ideas that might affect your sell I would privatly submit my comments and you could consider what I had to say if you wanted to
Sorry, but you SPECIFICALLY asked for people to "post" their comments about your truck. I understood your request to be that you were inviting people to comment publically. You begged for comments when you didn't get any. You should have been clear that you only wanted public comments from people who thought your truck was worth what you think it is worth.
As it turns out, you really aren't interested in anybody's comments, because all you've done in response thereto is try and defend why you think your truck is worth something in the neighborhood or what you are asking, as opposed to listening to all the reason why people think your price expectations are too high. Stop crying that the opinions of others don't match your opinion or support the kind of money you are asking for.
Nobody tried to kill your deal. Rather, people tried to bring you give you the benefit of their knowledge to help you establish a more realistic price that might result in a deal, not kill one.
In the face of all reality and integrity, as you so elegantly put it, I would be taking a financial loss and thats not a Lie. Call it what you want - thats the truth.
Of course its the truth. That's what everybody keeps telling you everytime you say that you have more than what your asking for into the truck. Everybody on here that is being realisitic knows that if and when they sell their trucks that they put a lot of time and money into, they are going to take a loss. When and if I sell mine, I'm going to take a loss. It will probably be close to 25% or more of what I have into my truck. That's just the nature of the game. If you wanted to maintain the value of your truck, the first mistake you, me and most everyone else made, was to modify it. A stock restored EB has the most value and the greatest return on investment.
Furthermore, I posted negotialbe. Meaning, I will entertain reasonable offers and the $14k is not set in stone. But I guess Im wasting my time tring to get someone like you to underatand.
Its not me or others that aren't understanding, its you. Everybody is telling you that you have a nice truck. But they are also telling you that, as it sits here and now, your expectation of selling it at a price anywhere near the $14k your asking is UNREASONABLE.
Carhauler has given you some sound advice.
