I always wonder if these people realize they are advertising a price. I mean this person is asking for $1, and is worried about lowball offers.

On several occasions I may or may not have emailed asking these (asshole) sellers if their $1 asking price was “negotiable.” ;)

No email provided, just a phone number. I figure much swearing would ensue from the person, and my ears are delicate.

Maybe something like, “The camber kit and the color worry me, but I’m still willing to take the risk and give you the full asking price of $1. I will still need to look at the car though, and if I see other problems I might need to lower my offer to $.65.”

Make sure you end with: “I do consider myself a reasonable individual and may be swayed to pay full asking price of $1 if original parts are still available.”

They do it so it shows up first when you sort the price by lowest to highest.

Right, but there needs to be an actual price listed for the car in the ad. (I normally just put a minimum price in to sort out these idiots.)

Otherwise, I think it could be construed as a legal offer and there is no conflicting information. If a dealer does it, it might just be legally enforceable. Perhaps even when a private individual does it. Maybe a business lawyer would know?

I do believe there are regulations about false advertising, but I believe they only apply to businesses marketing to customers rather than private sales.
