Makes for some funny reading...

There is this Ariel Atom looking thing for sale..

Listed at 60 or 70k, then price rise to $120k, now dropped to $49k.

Same thing happened with a jacked up older yellow hilux.

For sale for months at around $13k yet almost weekly price adjustments for several hundred $??

I get the idea of adjusting a price for the market but what is the rational of going up and down $500 each few weeks???

I've got the Lebonator up at $20K for ****s and giggles and I've had a few hits and phone calls, and one salty bloke who just messaged to say the price is absolutely ridiculous (which it is )

Seems to interest Gen X potential buyers, they seem to be in their 40s/50s who are chasing VR/VS from the calls I've had.

One guy was looking for a stock one, ex Commonwealth Car, did you even read the very detailed ad and look through the 40+ photos? I talked him out of buying my car keep looking bro

I don't mind the salty blokes messaging because once people start messaging you on carsales it sends alerts to the people who have it saved about 'interest is increasing' and suddenly I get phone calls and messages.

I don't really want to let it go, but if someone offers ridiculous money I will hence OTT listing on carsales
