my responce....


mrs cronk,
first of all, let me tell you, i will do EVERYTHING i can to get this truck for you. this is an extremely nice truck for the money and with gas dropping, the prices of all 4x4's have risen and i cant even REPLACE it for what i have it listed for. i can assure you, that those who know me, know the man i am. i appreciate the fact that he's a vet and i appreciate what he and all vets have givin up for me and my family. i dont know that the company will allow me to do anything like that, but i promise i'll get pretty loude if they dont! after all....they came to me, i didnt apply to them. see, i'm kinda a "sub-contractor"...i've been doing this for 20 years (since i was 18) and i have an excellent reputation with my clientel. i work on the per unit bases becouse the only way to be competitive on the internet is to be the cheapest! i know everyone says they dont work on commission...well, i dont. they dont have a hold program, so if i get this done, you need to move as quickly as possible...i know...another thing "salesman" say...but seriously...if they do it for me, they'll do it for anyone, and these salesman around here will tell everyone so they can get a sale. (dont begrudge...not personal. they gotta feed their kids too)
i will be in at 10am today. i will get with the manager first thing (before anyone ticks him off....unless he's already ticked off, then i gotta butter him up first, lol). if you e-mail me your number, i will call on my status. i want to do this for you...not as a sign of pity, but for appreciation for what you've done for your family and what your husband has done for mine!




.....i really dont know that i can do this....it actually comes out to about a 58$ looser!! on a fresh piece...this is about the third exchange we've had, and previously she didnt tell me any of this. i gotta get this done. it's a damn good thing she dont have good credit and is asking for a loan!!!

TweetIf anyone can do this, it is you dave. This woman has reached out to you for a reason. You have been in this business a long time and you certainly know how to be a salesman, so put your knowledge to work and give it your all, to your boss. You will get this done!! Good luck!

no...i went to work for a friend as a su-contractor so to speak. i do all the internet sales and marketing (on 1970 computers, lol). i had the unit on autotrader, but it was listed at 14995...i dont know what made her think i could whack it like that!! i work by appoinment only so i can take walk-ins also. i'm also getting sukard into training 2 new kids and doing appraisals and t.o.'s...i dont really know how this is gonna workout...the money aint even CLOSE to right...not even in the same state or country as "right", for what i'm doing...i may need to politely bowout, but, thats anothert story

[trip]

Tweetoh, i get it

you had something listed, and she sent you a SOB STORY to work on the price

sorry too hear about the new situation

well, u will land on your paws, u always do

[trip]

Tweetoops, my bad, i re-read it, it is so dense

baby1 probably right, she has that sixth sense that i'm so dearly working on too get right, i saw it as she did intially yet didn't understand it all completely

[daved150]

Tweetwell...i'm still working on it. not a good day for the boss, but i had a good one. i think i can get this handled monday

[TheChosen1]

TweetDo you know this woman?
More importantly, how do you know that this is a legit matter? It sounds alot to me like those Nigerian scams that I'm sure we've all gotten from time to time in our emails, even our secured mails.

Tweetlisted at $14-nine...$13 in-a-half cash?...that dog'l hunt, won't it???

...I just caught how you're in the truck, and can't replace it for $15k...I hope it works out.

13500 minus taxes, tag, plate, doc, reg, title fee, comes out to 12243.50....a couple hundred looser.
i just got a call on a 2003 isuzu cab and chassis, diesel with 56k. to the right guy, and this is him, it's a SUPER valuable piece!!!. they (the dealer) have had it in inventory for 2 years. now, it's not uncommon to have medium duty truck for a yr or 18mo's, but 795 days is WAY too fukin long. they've offered me a flat 1000 for every medium duty used i can sell..."just get them the fuk out of here!!"....welp...i'm gonna hit the owner with an offer to wave the 1000 if he lets me sell the f150 to the lady for the 200 looser, plus i wont take the fee for that. between the 2, it'll be a 3000$ deal for him and move 2 units out!! i think that'll work. (i also believe he'll still hit me with 500 or so...we'll see monday).

it's legit chosen...i'm not 100% sure, but it seems to be. she asked for a estimate on mounting a lift for the scooter. i gave her one, but i'm betting they (the owners) will comp that too...

i know...but you know how it goes bro. as bad as people are fuked up, up here....i just would like to hook this lady up!

TweetThere are so many people out there who scam that sometimes it's not easy to tell the honest people from the dishonest. You just got to go with you instant and let it go. I believe when you do good deeds then it comes back to you in other ways.

Remember in Sept you and I were chatting and how bad things were getting for us. The lady how cuts my hair was getting ready to go on a mission trip with her church to Africa. Now I have my normal charities that I give too and don't vary from them. Lately with times being so hard for us, I haven't had much money to donate to anyone. She knew our financial position, so she didn't ask me for anything. I knew she was collecting money so she would be able to pay for her trip. For some reason, I have no idea why because we were done to our last dollar and I wasn't even sure how we were going to pay our own bills. I just felt the need to help her out.

She had been going thru a divorce and last fall her son committed suicide. He was her only child and this just about devastated her. This year has been a time of healing and recovery for her. She was so excited about her mission trip. She was telling how she feel the need to go there, so before I left I gave her some money for her trip. With in a few weeks, my husband landed the two jobs that saved us.

Listen to that little voice... not the one in your head but the other one.

Do what you can to help her and if it doesn't work out, you know you did the best you could.
