It is tough to figure out who is serious, who is just looking, and who is trying to buy as cheap possible.
Now, let's be fair here. This coin has two sides. I have met few traders that just pay the asking price without trying to dicker unless they know that the seller has it way low. It is part of the game.
Think about it, if everybody paid the same price for everything, there would be very little to no profit.
Making a profit requires a lot of work, and sometimes that work means entertaining people that either want to buy it cheap or do not have intentions of buying.
When most buyers are buying, they will do whatever to get the best price. And when these same buyers are selling, they want to make as much as possible.
You never know, the one that you think is a tire kicker may be your best customer.
When they are coming to "look", make your terms clear. If you are firm on price, state it clearly. If they still show up, there is hope. If they do not show up, your filter just worked to your advantage.
Again, traders work both sides of the table. Otherwise, they would not make enough money to keep doing it.
Who has not dreamed of getting a rare tractor in good condition for cheap, and then selling it to someone for the currect market price?
How many times do traders offer more money for items that they know are worth much more than the asking price? I know the answers.
When I sniff out a trader that wants to run my prices down, I tell them that my time, like their's, is worth money. The longer we talk, the higher (not lower) the prices will go.
Good luck!

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel. ...
