    "or best offer"

    One photo taken from 50ft away is not going to entice a lot of people to call IMO.

    The price is so far off that I highly doubt that anyone would call.. I wouldn't pay more than $48k for that car IF the 30k service was done...

    All you gotta do is find a sucker and entice him/her into buying it!!! Just that simple.

    Actually, Hutch, it wasn't P.T. Barnum. That quote, "there's a sucker born every minute" was misattributed to him. History says it was actually either (and most likely) David Hannum, a banker from Syracuse, NY, who was involved in the Cardiff Giant scandle, which related all the way back to Barnum, or a notorious confidence man named Joseph "Paper Collar Joe" Bessimer. Regardless of whether Hannum or Bessimer said it, Barnum never denied saying it and instead thanked a competitor, who told a reporter that it came from Barnum in an effort to discredit him, for the free publicity. What Phineas T. Barnum did say, that is often misquoted as coming from Samuel Goldwyn, is "I don't care what they say about me as long as they spell my name right." Barnum was the ultimate publicity hound and showman, not a scam-artist.

    Just one of those bits of useless trivia that has stuck with me over the years. Sorry for highjacking the thread. LOL

    Wasn't Barnum the guy who had his customers rushing through a door marked "Egress" to see what kind of animal that was, only to find themselves outside, having gone through the more commonly called "Exit"?
