When people do that to me, I always tell them I have a buyer who’s willing to pay full price, but won’t have the money until the weekend, so I won’t be taking less until after that. Sometimes that gets people to ask full price and sometimes that makes them walk away, but it gets me out of haggling with tire kickers.

My Dad once told me, if you’re selling a car in the newspaper, pick a time (noon on Saturday) and tell everybody that time. You’re right, nothing sells a car like seeing other sharks circling!
