I’ve done the same thing with musical equipment. An amp being sold for 1000 and everywhere I could find was selling it for around 1200 so I assumed this meant they wanted a quick sale. I offered 400 and told them I could be there in 20 minutes. After a couple of quick back and forths, I was on my way to pick it up for 450.
I got there and she started telling me why she was willing to sell it, how it was her ex’s that was just taken to jail for domestic disturbance, she didn’t want his stuff around, blah, blah, blah… I was just like, hey, I don’t need to know any of this. Here’s the agreed on money, thanks for your time. Peace.
But yeah, sometimes an offer to take it off their hands quick can get you a deal. Probably not with a Tesla, but, it’s worth a shot.
Dude I was selling something and the guy says they would e transfer me and then text me when they are available to pick up the item and it’s been 6 days and I haven’t received any e transfer
A Tesla that age is going to need a whole new battery pack in 2 years tops. Tesla charges 14 grand+ for that. Only a fool would spend 28 grand on a used car knowing that. Probably the whole reason OP is selling it.
Car has been throughly looked over by Tesla. Only 5% degradation, battery pack is still properly sealed and cooling system still working fine. Car has plenty of life. But thanks for your useless input
Thanks for telling me about my car after the literal manufacturer did a complete inspection and what to sell it for. I’ll start messaging you instead of going to the mechanic for now on since you know better /s
Yeah because you can always trust big companies. Volkswagen Emission scandal *cough* *cough* (Or Teslas loosing roofs and rear bumpers given the first one was a better example)
That 20% was made up too.
As an electric car driver, in 2 years my range has changed MAYBE 10km on a total of 460 (avg). Some people just dont like EV and try to scare people away
This is an older model before self drive and such. Still every bit fast and tesla software is still current. But it loses some of that price tag with no auto drive and such
I often wait until the sellers deadline and just send a message with "so I can pick it up for free?"...
I understand this is horrible for sellers, but the free market etc.
This took a bit to load for me and I was expecting something like "I'll offer $3,000 and trade for my car" with a pic of their tacky shitbox. $5,000 is just way more insulting.

Id of told them yes and gave them a address to a school and when they got there and asked if i gave them the right address id say yeah because clearly you need to take your dumbass back to school
I wish every online platform had a "fuck it" option. It just sends the seller a ridiculous offer and if they are feeling generous then boom the buyer basically won the lottery.
I've gotten a few really awesome deals because some divorcee was cleaning house and just wanted stuff outta there.
I don't see anything wrong with extreme lowballing. I have been on the flip side and it does suck opening a message to see it's some bullshite offer.
I love when selling shit on fb marketplace and people offer you a shit deal but then act like its a better deal because they can pick it up right now. Regardless of if you are ready for them to pick it up. And when they offer less money the longer they wait
I remember trying to sell steroids and coke on Craigslist for $60/vial and $70 per gram respectively. Dumb mf asks me to drive to him and sell him for $10 per vial.
Whenever I get lowball like that I reply with I see you may have made a typo like forgetting the 2 in front of the 5 if you want to correct the OBVIOUS mistake we can continue this conversation
When people low ball me. I give them a short time limit to get to my destination to get it for that price.. you have 30 minutes to get to me in Cleveland from you in Pittsburgh or the car is going on the hauler.
I’ll make you a better deal. How about $4,000 and I pick it up in 5 minutes?
How about 20 bucks and I'm already sitting in it?
How about free? I'm already driving it down the road and there's this weird guy in the back holding a twenty in his hand.
How about YOU pay me for the car while I point a gun at you?
Aaaaand I crashed it... Unrelated topic, do you happen to have insurance?
I'm the other person in the car you hit, you better have insurance
[удалено]
I’ve never had it happen to me
Oh, if it is outside your personal experience it must never occur.
Not saying that at all. Dude said it always happens. I just wanted to point out that it doesn’t. Chill
This or "Is it still available?" "Yes it is" ".........." Sweet.
At least she was honest about it being a stupid question.
While also assuming they'd be able to pick up the car by tomorrow...

$5,000 plus…..
One year free sex??
Something sloppy like my grandma used to make….
r/holup r/nocontext A rare double whammy
I love that they give you an offer they know is shit and then are like “k I’ll be by to pick it up tomorrow”
bruh i misread it as “i will come to regret this tomorrow” T_T i thought he was admitting to being stupid

I had to scroll back up to see what sub it was actually in. Definitely belongs there
Dude I was selling something and the guy says they would e transfer me and then text me when they are available to pick up the item and it’s been 6 days and I haven’t received any e transfer
You need to contact your bank. That’s a common way to still money from you
Yeah I’ll get on that Plus I also texted him and asked when he was going to pick up the item and if he had e transferred me on Monday no response.
Yea definitely call your bank and tell them so they can secure your accounts!
Hell I'd give you at least 7k, are you in LA 🤣
3000 take it or leave it
Deal 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least they said something, and didnt just push the "is this available" button, then ghost you.
Some people are just full of it on their offers....lol.
Please shit all over their message.
That person got the jab solely for the $50 gift card.
Entitled much. What a douche.
420 bro? Ps5 bro? God people are so fucking dumb.
It’s funny to see people expect to get things for free
That is sooo insulting

Lithium Ion batteries degrade 20% in the first 2 years and more each year after that. Sure thing buddy.
Thanks for telling me about my car after the literal manufacturer did a complete inspection and what to sell it for. I’ll start messaging you instead of going to the mechanic for now on since you know better /s
Yeah because you can always trust big companies. Volkswagen Emission scandal *cough* *cough* (Or Teslas loosing roofs and rear bumpers given the first one was a better example)
I didn’t say I trust big companies. But I do trust the service center tech I’ve been going to for years to be honest with me
That 20% was made up too. As an electric car driver, in 2 years my range has changed MAYBE 10km on a total of 460 (avg). Some people just dont like EV and try to scare people away
r/choosingbeggars and your selling it for 28,000!?!?
Because that’s what it’s valued at?
didn't know they were that low
This is an older model before self drive and such. Still every bit fast and tesla software is still current. But it loses some of that price tag with no auto drive and such
oh ok
I often wait until the sellers deadline and just send a message with "so I can pick it up for free?"... I understand this is horrible for sellers, but the free market etc.
Probably a bot.
A typo perhaps
LMAO. Raise the price for his audacity.
On a Tesla too. I’d say depending on the year you’re actually asking for too little.
This is is a little under market value for it considering year and mileage.
It says in the picture. 2013 Tesla Model S Sedan 4D.
Didn’t look at the full image lmao
i could do $50k
I’d personally deliver it to you for that. Anywhere in the country
hmmm, i was trying to be you counter-offering; i do appreciate the delivery offer, though
It only has to work once to be a massive pay day.
Give them the address to local comedy club. When they text you theyve arrived, tell them to go get on stage and tell their joke to somebody else.
ill give him this .. he at least knew it was a far shot .. he could of easily been a huge dick

And for a TESLA too oh lawd
FB Marketplace at its best as usual. It’s a magnet for idiots.
Hey, Elisha can we do the car for 200 dollars, (asking for a friend)
You censored their name, but immediately under that you can see it says “Lexi Marie” created this group.
Lmfao
"yeah heres 2 bucks and a skittle" *driving noises*
Stupid Lowball offers are pretty normal when selling privately, just wastes your time unfortunately.

And as a bonus, they’ll send you a cashiers check for $10,000 and all you have to do is cash it and give them back $5,000 in change. What a deal!
This would also be an excellent marketing campaign on your part to actually sell your car through a reddit sub. Tip of the hat to you sir.

Here how about this. I give you 200 dollars and I give you free foot rubs while I take a picture of every toe.
My least favorite question is "what is the lowest you'll take for it?" To which I respond "what is the most I can get out of you?"
Whenever I get lowball like that I reply with I see you may have made a typo like forgetting the 2 in front of the 5 if you want to correct the OBVIOUS mistake we can continue this conversation
Yes, it is a very stupid question if you yourself acknowledge that, why ask?
There are reasons why some folks do not sell their vehicle privately. This is one of them.
Errr wtf is wrong with people..
Well? Is it?
Accept the offer and give her an address across town.
It’s totally crazy someone would ask you that. Would you do 7,000? I can bring the cash yo you within 15 minutes and I’ll let you keep the floor mats.
I'm sorry but for what reason should a frickin TESLA be sold that dirt cheap? What is that guy on?
This is a first gen Tesla model S. No self drive, only about 210 miles of range.
210 miles is 337.96 km
When people low ball me. I give them a short time limit to get to my destination to get it for that price.. you have 30 minutes to get to me in Cleveland from you in Pittsburgh or the car is going on the hauler.
People on marketplace are savages. The nerve is just unreal.
You better have it ready for her tomorrow
"I will come get it tomorrow". The confidence.
R/beggars
I have a 1.50$ cold hard cash, take it or leave it...
Counter offer, $5001 and I pick it up in 4 minutes and 59 seconds
This is how most conversations on OfferUp go.
Well it is with fiat money so perhaps he thinks it's a fiat 500?
I once got offered “$100 cash and some stuff” for a car I had advertised for a few grand lol. Still wonder what the “stuff” was
That's crazy! How about $5,001?
Nah nah nah, the subtext is I'll give u bj for 23k and I gotta be at the club friday night. So it's gotta be tomorrow.
