The point I'm trying to make is that you don't quote a guy a price over the phone and then after he drives 2 hours to get there and look the car over and agrees to buy the car for the price you told him, ask for another 5K. I don't care how rare the car is, or how nice it is, it would be a matter of principal for me and I'd definately tell him what he could do with his car. That's just not an ethicial way to do business. I'm sure that the car Jude bought is a nice car and if he was willing to pay the extra 5 grand then he's a better man than I.

For years I have used a pseudonym, in lieu of my legal name when BS-ing on websites. People like that seller are the reason why. It's just human nature for some people to find out a little bit about you, and then assume that they understand your whole situation. The guy sounds like a bottom feeder to me. JMO

That happened to me over the phone in the 80's when a guy with a 10k mile hemi in Kansas raised his price from $10K to $15K. The car was advertised in Hemmings during the calm before the storm. This car, seems like it was a red Sattelite one owner, still would have been a steal. The guys wasn't a charlatan he just didn't know what he had until his phone started ringing off the hook and he was getting 'sight unseen' offers!!

The seller is a great guy & we've become pretty good friends. He has a 1/8 mile dragstrip in his side yard
When you're looking at a '69 Camaro with what appears to be an original BE rear end, 140 speedo, a vin that is in the middle of 30 Yenko's & a body # only 7 digets away from another car you own, you don't argue...you pay & trailer it home
