^ reminds me of selling my last car. I posted an ad online and no kidding, within 60 seconds my cell phone rang. The guy was already trying to make a lower offer. I guess he didn't realize his negotiating skills were not well-honed. You usually wait an hour to make a low-ball offer.
Eventually one guy begged and pleaded with me but he had some issues getting the money since he wasn't in the lower 48. I felt bad. But then another guy appears who reminded of that big guy on that comedy show with David Spade about the couples and says: "Dude you're going to sell the car to me because I will pay you in cash as soon as I step off this flight I'm booking now".

After a few calls I had to tell him straight away, "I have other offers on this car for my asking price. So please no last minute cash-waving for a lower offer at the airport. I'd hate for you to fly back without the car". Sure enough the guy calls me on the phone "at terminal B come and pick me up". That guy wasted no time once he knew he had competition. Some guys just buy sight unseen while others take their time to be 100% sure this is what they want. That's risky when you're dealing with limited edition cars.
