OT: 3 Card Monty @ the Dealers!

Posted by Rauville on May 21, 2005 at 07:40:48 from (209.180.79.97):

Why is getting a price out of some dealers like playing 3 card monty? Yesterday, I stopped at a dealer to ask the price on a used tractor. I was told: "We've got it priced at 75(00), but you can have it for 67(00)." OK..."I'll think about it." Later in the day, two different printed publications arrive that each carry an ad from this dealer. Both have a photo of the same tractor that I looked at. One has the price listed at $6200, and the other is listed at $5900. Talk about using the old adage: "Whatever the market will bear"; here's a good case!

A few years ago I was looking at a loader tractor on a dealers lot. I asked the price, and the salesman wrote the figure on the back of his business card. A day later, when I went back to make the deal...the price had gone up $500. "What about this price?", I asked the same saleman, showing him the card. His answer: "Anybody could of written that figure on there."
