Classics on Trade Me

'It was definitely a bargain providing all information is correct.'
But the information was very lacking.
I had a couple of questions in there, one unanswered and one answered but lot interest because of his shitty attitude and lack of clarity.
Unless there were things being hidden the guy could have easily got (IMO) closer to $20k with a better description, better pictures and a better attitude.

Me pulling out cost him a few grand.
I was definitely out when suddenly it had been dropped & had a nasty ding in the tank that went un mentioned up until then. I thought, what else is up here that we don't know.

Some people have this attitude that everything has to be on their terms. It holds them back but no doubt that is someone else's fault. Whenever I sell something I try to give it the best chance but be honest about it, no point being a cunt.

Yes an odd way of marketing , wait till the end to start answering questions and putting up photos of dents... maybe he didn't really want to sell it.

Funny you should say that.
I spent a portion of yesterday stripping Rothmans livery off RC30 bodywork in favour of something a bit more relevant.

Messing with an rc30? You’re brave.

It's a warhorse that had a replica paint & sticker job for display.
I'll put a pic up in the build thread later. It's getting there.

Yep. I liked that Merkel colourscheme from back in the day - purple/black.
