Minor things that bother you

[kphoger]

I recently sold a non-running vehicle on Facebook Marketplace.  Last time I did so, the vehicle was a very desirable model, so I could have asked for more than I did, and it was on a dealer's trailer in less than four hours—even with a thrown rod—with my asking price in my hand.  This time around, though, it was not a desirable vehicle model, and I started off asking for more than I thought it was worth.

The minor thing that bothers me is this message string:

— Good morning, is this still available?
— Yes, still available.  Let me know if you have any questions.
— How much is the least he asks for.
* This is not how this works.  There's a price on my listing, and I didn't put 'OBO' or anything.  Grr. *
— I have it listed with a price.  If you want to look at it and make a different offer, then let me know.
— You tell me how much.
* I did.  In the listing.  With a dollar sign next to it.  Grr. *
— I have it listed for $1900.  How much are you offering?
