i know a guy who is selling a 39 chevy 2dr 5 pssenger sedan. its really rough, its been outside uncovered for the past 20-30 years. he wont give me a price he just says make me an offer. just wanted to get some input on a good price. i dont want to insult the guy and ruin my chance of a deal.
Just say..."I'll give you a hundred bucks...now what will you take", and see what happens. Sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't. Hard to price someone else's stuff isn't it.
That's what I usually do, except I offer them fifty cents. If he is willing to sell it, it stands to reason that he's got some sort if figure in his head. If not, he's just jerking around anyway.
