You did the right thing and were a man of your word. That is worth far more than $500. If you told the man it was his that was your virtual handshake. Good on you for keeping your word. I tip my hat to you Sir.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Next time, if you're not in a desperate hurry, think about it a bit. Say "considering offers" and see who's curious. Ya gotta take your time, slow down and start high (er). Look around and survey the current market. (sounded low to begin with) But, you did do the right thing by stickin to your guns. Kudos for that ! Cheers

Always, always ask $500-1000 more than want you want or what it’s worth on old junk!! I had an old jeep Cherokee I was asking $2000 for. If I didn’t sell it I was going to drop it off for scrap money at a junk yard. Had 2 guys in the yard about ready to fight over it and I told them whoever has the most cash gets the keys. One guy pulled out $1800 and the other pulled out $2200. The $2200 got the keys and title, lol. I would have let it go for $1000, bought it for $800. If too cheap, no one wants it. If too expensive, they feel they’re getting a deal when you barter down a few hundred dollars.
Now before anyone thinks I’m a douche, I’ve given away way more than I’ve taken money for. I’ve found in my older years, giving brings more satisfaction than receiving, even when it comes to money and valuables.

How do Asians hunt deer? I’d be afraid they couldn’t see through those slants and would shoot me! Been not so nice knowing you Blake, Lol.

I was thinking you were going to say you got scammed. I have an old boat, motor, trailer for sale. Haven't posted it to Craigslist yet. But wasn't even on marketplace 10 minutes and I had a scammer saying I will buy it. Paying cash. So you did want you said you were going to. Be happy say goodbye to the rig.
Feel free to whack BlakeL for me too.

Scott, where have you been living, under a rock? Travel trailers, RV's, four wheelers, etc. are HOT items right now, and have been for months. Should have listed it for $1500. Maybe stuff like that isn't selling like crazy back there, but it's nuts on the west coast.
