Buyers show sellers no respect on Facebook Marketplace. You have to give it to the first person who shows up with the cash. A lot of people make promises and then never show, w/o even the courtesy of letting you know.

I'm on the seller's side on this one to be quite honest. Can't trust anyone that says they are on the way with cash. I'm sure as a salesman, it has happened to you. They promise they are on the way but end up never showing. My rule is, first person with cash takes it. It sucks, but it's just the way it is these days.

I just went through the same bullshit on craigslist. When I sell a car privately, I always tell people who want to come and see it if someone else is already on their way. But you know what happens... then the first person in a no show. So it's kind of a no win situation. Then you get the a-holes who want a perfect car for 1/2 of it's value.

I’m on buyers side. You never actually really know what your getting into when purchasing a vehicle on marketplace. You can only see so much at first.

I hate where you have to be the very first text or call on Craigslist and if not the person won’t even give you a chance to come look at the car. There was good cars on face book that I seen 5 mins after they were posted and someone texted them before I did and I lost the car

I spent $600 on a cab to go to Houston to buy a car deal fell through and looked at 6 other car they all had problems so I might just finance a car at this point

If you sold a chair on fb you have no problem but if slightly high ticket items especially cars or electronics it brings out all the vultures

You had question why road side sellers do not like to sell to dealers. I was selling my '97 Camaro several years ago, and someone came up and offered less than half my asking. I had already done research to find the price point for the car, so I was confident I was going to sell it for a few hundred of my asking price. After some back and forth, he told me that he could not even sell my car for a $1000 less than my asking price on his lot. (He did not tell me the lot name) I sold to someone else for about $100 less than I was hoping for, but well above this guys highest offer. So I kind of have a distrust of dealers that come to the house, but if you try to buy the car somewhere near my expectation for the car, than I don't care. Spend time telling my that the car is only worth much much less, but you have cash, we are not going to have a long conversation.

I buy used cars every once in a while, I start shopping for my next car when I leave the lot in my new car. I love to shop for cars. Facebook marketplace, Craigslist and even auto-trader are full of people who may not be scammers, but they are lying to buyers from the beginning. They advertise as if they are private sellers, but really are in business of flipping cars. A lot are people who flip cars, and really are unlicensed dealers. You can tell because every two weeks, they will have a different car for sale with the same contact cel-phone and the pictures will all be taken in the same cul-de-sac. I don't even call these douche-bags. In my state, you need a license if you sell more that 5 vehicles per year and have to have a place of business. If you have to lie to me to just to get my call, no dice. It is also my experience that most of these clowns buy the cheapest parts possible, do the minimum amount of work to get the vehicle to just present well and just really do a lousy job reconditioning the vehicle. I could go on and on. Love your channel BTW.

Up until 4 years ago used drivable cars that were over 10 years were worth $200-$500. Minor work usually but was still turn key and drive cars for reasonable price. Not $5000 for a cavalier.. used cavalier were always a $300 car

Wow Mike thanks 👍 for the video.I never laughed so hard as the Van conversion to a truck 🚛.

When you buy cars on market place you need to have cash in hand ready to buy and go immediately if not you’ll just be wasting your time

As a buyer on Facebook mp or craigslist if I am going to look at a car that will draw interest I always put it into the mind of the seller that if the car is in great shape I will pay over their asking price just this simple thought has helped me buy cars. Even if I show up and others are buying I make it known that I will pay over ... these days have to do just about anything to find a good used car.

Building looks like an off frame modular office to me. I sell quite a few things on FB. After people started no showing me, I am hold only with a non refundable Cash App or Pay Pal payment. Outside of that I am "first in wins."

I dont understand why sellers expect people to just turn up with cash, hand it over and drive the car away. If i were buying a car, besides checking it thoroughly, i would have to arrange an inspection, do a carfax report just to decide if i want to buy it. This itself takes a couple of days. Then i would have to get my insurance to cover it, deal with all the paper work. Takes another day or so. There is no “hand over cash and take the car away”

I hate FB in general and Marketplace exacerbates it. Several times I've had stuff sold before I got there. Even worse is when it turns into an auction. Seller will tell me "I've been offered X over asking if you want to offer more". I just tell them I don't swing that way and move on. When I sell stuff and they tell me they're coming, I will put it as pending and tell them I will hold it just for an hour beyond the agreed time. I've had people offer above my asking while it's pending to the point that I've had to block them they were so insistent. Some people will do anything for money, I won't compromise my word. It's quite possible somebody "overbid" you on that car. No integrity at all.
