    Response to lowballer

    I got an email offer for my GS1100E which is currently on CL. My price is $2900 and "Nathan" offered $1200 and asked if he could come see it. My response:

    "Sure. Attached is how it will look for 1200 dollars. But at least it's non-opp'd so no back fees."

      “You can see it for $1,200. Its $2,000 if you want to sit on it. And just for you, its $3,000 if you want to buy it.”

          I'm glad my sarcasm is appreciated.

            Perfect response, but you know he is probably a forum member.

                I love the response.

                You sure you'd let those yellow wires be included for that price? :-l

                    A well placed quip can defuse many a situation. Works for James Bond, right?

                      A spectacularly appropriate comparison by my mind.

                        Apparently "Nathan" does not appreciate my sarcasm. I received a response from him and thought it might be fun to see who could come up with the most clever or snarky (or both) sarcastic response. Had to asterisk out some of his millennial style communication:

                        "Yea your bike isn't even worth my 1300. I just got a 2007 gsxr 750 for 1900$ so f**k you and your old ass bike"

                              Maybe but this was more fun and sends a message. If the guy had any sense of humor he'd have laughed it off but he's an ass so he deserves to be called out a bit.
