Re: Gulling the ignorant, my two cents

[ALfactor@domain.elided]

Personally I don't think the issue is the dollar value of a car/toaster/part, 
and I don't have an issue with buying a car for less then it's worth from 
someone who thinks (rightly or wrongly) that the car has problems.  Seller 
beware.

 I am a little uncomfortable with fixing the car in front of the seller and 
driving off.  I would just thank him, and drive to the nearest parking lot 
out of sight for a quick repair.  Who knows, the guy might later find a box 
of parts or folder of receipts that you would kill for.  If you rub his nose 
in it what are the chances he'll call you?

I made a pretty good score at the recent APE swap meet.  I took the parts to 
my car and put them in the trunk.  Seller was happy, he bumped up my offer by 
$5, I got something I can e-bay for 10X the price if I don't us it myself. 
Nobody's mad.
