A good old fashioned rant video about the woes of selling a Willys! I give some good stories and tips on how to buy a vintage vehicle. I hope you enjoy my rant and all the jokes. lol Enjoy! #willysjeep #jeep #4x4
Whoooo WEEKEND'S, that truck is in great shape for the age. Sorry selling her is such a hassle. I hope I didn't add to that anguish. I do appreciate you for takin the time and it was sure nice meetin ya. I enjoyed our conversation. Hopefully that jeep finds a good ho.e with someone who will give it the respect and take care of it but enjoy it too. I really hope they keep it as original as possible. Enjoy that ride today with your lady. That sure makes for a nice day. Be safe. I'm rootin fer ya.
tow bars are great for just about anything a to b rv to small to big stuff just makes for me easy flat tow lot reason one no games find other person or drama cheap set lights etc
Very nice ole' rig! Ive got a soft spot for these old Willys. They sure do ride like trucks! lol They'll knock the fillings out of your teeth if you ride over a penny! 😂
The problem with trying to sell old cars & trucks to old Men ( I've never sold one to old Women ) , is They still remember when they were new ( and what they sold for then ) ! And They think it's worth less now !!!!
I hate selling stuff. People suck for the most part. I dont sell even the good stuff. I've scrapped decent builders because I hate dealing with people so much. I had a guy come look at a Four runner my ad said firm price. He offered me half. My reply was telling him to get the f### of my property.
my area something good got like 1-2 hrs its sold fast real but still wait to see or be as respectful reason may be other guy flips it resale or dont show i seen someone person buy items autos bang sticks etc resold that day listed way more
Given your knowledge of Willys pickups, would you ever consider evaluating one for sale on behalf of a buyer? I am far too long distance from GA, but there is a Willys approximately 40 minutes north, north east of Atlanta I am considering. Genuine inquiry. 'No' is an acceptable answer. Thank you, sir.
Will you take 2500? Can you send me more pictures? Need a video of it running. No? What are you trying to hide? Your wife is making you sell it. Will you trade for a honda three wheeler? Love this video!!!!!! Just got done selling a Fox Mustang Coupe, with all the above experience.
When I sell something I generally do a gut check of what I really need to get out of it, and list the price as "firm". I always make it very clear that the price isn't negotiable, I haven't had too much trouble doing it that way. I never make a killing on anything, but I also don't deal with the guy who only has a max budget of half the price. Also, in my experience, the person who will buy antique cars probably is an experienced buyer and knows what it's worth anyway. It is what it is, dealing with the public can be...challenging...I've been told patience is a virtue... It's a nice truck!
I usually price things slightly higher than I want and then I have room to come down if necessary to my solid price. That has worked out well for me most of the time. Usually my price range is beyond that of the tire kickers but on this truck I have been slammed by them. lol The first few trucks I sold I had experienced folks buying them and that was very pleasant. Apparently none of the experienced folks are in the market right now. lol It is what it is, I’ll get it sold and I’ll get some fun content filmed while I do it. lol
I have restored 24 of them and yes maybe 30 years ago I could find decent ones around 1000. I just sold a body off 61 with split windows and new bucket seats with a new walcks box for 33K in 5 days. Currently Wilys less. For the record how much? for yours? IM in PA I do this often I buy them all sight unseen and generally wire the money i. Im currently financing the 89 Bently I have for a client but I have the car and the title. Its what I have to do sometimes. I restore 2 to 3 cars a yr currently finishing a 65 GTO. They are all for me I have no clients nor do I want any. at 75 I too have heard it all. Tkx for your video and send me a price. Jim F
Send me a email at redclaytraveler@yahoo.com and we can discuss price. I keep getting offers for less than half of what I’m asking lol I see all kinds of stuff that I think is to high but I don’t start insulting folks. lol The biggest thing that folks don’t understand is price changes depending on state. What might be high in one might be a damn good deal in another. lol I haven’t had as many as you but I have been doing long enough to know that and what’s a good price.
....... or my personal favorite," I'll have to ask my wife/ mom/ dad/ whoever". Have the balls to say "no" geez. Typical marketplace buyers offer half asking price for some reason. I have better luck on Craigslist. Great Vid..... U hit most of my pet peeves.
one thing i learn dont trust seller lot money takes time get well you getting it together they sold item talking they say time place amount show up oh ya sold it
I hear you but I’m not expecting them to get money instantly. If a man is going to drive the distance I feel that he should have the money or at least a down payment to hold it.
yes i agree fact is it hard lesson $200 interest so i showed up like i was told that tuesday called the guy text was i will be thier he was closed monday sunday talk to him thursday friday week before and he had shop rent waste no time when someone was able get cash with that he told me one thing did other waste no time bird in hand point is hard keep thier words not end of the world i got other deals but i told the guy i would never buy from him he sales lots junk just cause the trust dont hate player hate the game or hate the player dont hate the game is what is but i just hate when people lie it happen i be late lot to pick up somethings up sure or getting it off property lot times dont run yep tires so yep hard lesson depends on sale but what some one dont care they either have pain bad memory some one passed or its just that now mind set they dont care what buyer got do just now tow drivers i had few honesty less is more dont tell them more then they need to know they will undercut you i factor in rain weather so mind thing is i say what works for you works for me that way they have control something changes try be prepared for anything i pack all the gear soup to nut have none dedication of items so i can grap and go wheel spacers help for loads washers or nut loads get real funny and now days permits or better be off main roads time and place some times its best light early late more you play the more you pay @@redclaytraveler1949

peanuts is one thing $250 grand is not game you get one maybe two deals like that one in life kinda buys out here got every trick in book they rip of pawn shop have liens on it dont show up till buyer goes hello its sitting in hock for 6 months on layway games dont change just player@@redclaytraveler1949
real estate or land hell even whole thing persons estate when you see deal like those never walk away call people get them sit watch babysit so worth it @@redclaytraveler1949
Saw a video that said when international wanted to sell pickups they were not ready so they re labeled willys trucks. It was before the war and they were 2 wheel drive. I know 2 guys that can have a great deal in their face but have to try and talk them down no matter what. Both arrogant a holes. You are right and you know what you have. I hate to see you guys selling it as I know you love them. Like a good gun it's worth what it's worth.
I appreciate it buddy! It is what it is. lol I do love them and so does my brother but he’s willing to let it go and I hate to see it go but it’s not Jubal. lol
@@redclaytraveler1949 they don't come around like that every day. And that one seems very good. If it has to go hold the line. The right buyer is out there. But I wish he would re think it.
This applies to just about every person selling a vehicle,,, and even when obvious in pictures and described in detail,,, when get questions that would have been OBVIOUSLY ANSWERED!! had they actually looked at the pictures and read descriptions I go straight to NO SALE and not even wasting time responding to
Yeah it’s definitely a uphill battle. I have had some great experiences selling stuff but man I have had 3 times the experience like this, especially lately lol
I have a 56 willys truck thats been in family almost as long as me,same with my 48 CJ2A,my truck is torn down right now,cab and bed are off frame,cab doesnt need much,drivers side floor needs a panel,under cab neds a few panels,some dents in roof,bed is in bad shape,may get a new one for it or just build a nice flat bed for it,frame is stripped,trans/transfer case is torn apart,engine is apart,so is front axle,it had about an inch of slack between pinion and ring gear,I hear it hard to get play out without creating other problems,so may just install new gears into it,hopeing to get it back together and painted so I can drive it again within the next two years since my dad taught me how to drive in this truck!Hold the line on this truck,I know you have to put up with a lot of crap when trying to sell something these days,tell them Cash Talks,Bullshit Walks!Hope you guys get to keep it,cannot find the in this shape very often original!
Sounds like a sweet rig! Keep at it and do it right. The memories you have with the truck is worth everything. I’m glad you are building it and keeping it in the family! I appreciate the comment and the support!
yep thier nice to look at them jeeps ya each drive train has is original likes and dislikes moutain man show on history like walking dead show gain new people like that design model my self sure even those dodge power wagon gain interest but truth is just metal and memorys my self motor swap them yes axle swap like current like function anyway just enjoy the video
I suppose but not .3 seconds after it’s been posted. The stuff about the is it available is not a unique complaint from me. Most adds I see on market place say “ will not respond to is this available!” Usually in all caps. So I’m clearly not alone. Further more, if Facebook didn’t give that prompt then almost no one would be sending that message. lol
I have to apologize and I've sent complaint to Facebook about it. I get people responding to my asking If it's still available and I don't even ask! Best I can tell is the location of the send button is where my right thumb scrolls across. I have to remember to use the left when looking about.😢 I hate that button.
My first question is does it have a bumper?, would you take a thousand for it? And,would it make it to Nebraska?I love your rants by the way I was crying over here with the cheeto dust and fortnight😂 I was laughing to myself because I would say ''look, if I fix the choke cable it goes up another thousand. My older brother has epic rants as well he often refers to people lacking common sense as ''six toed knuckle draggers'' Loved your reference from Daniel by the way. You would feel better if you didn't have unrealistic expectations of market place clientele. Although I have to admit that while reading an ad ive accidentally sent the is this still available and had to resend a message whith profuse apologies. Also I've grown to love the haints that plague the background. Barking neighbor dogs, wind, roosters, fans, creaking doors. We dont wrestle against flesh and blood but background imps from hell😂 be well R.C.
I love your comments sir! They also make my day! When did I reference Daniel? I didn’t realize I did. lol Maybe I do expect to much from the market place folks lol Your brother sounds like my kind of man. I bet y’all are a hoot together lol Be well sir and keep the comments coming!
In the book of Daniel a hand appears and starts writing on the wall and no one can interpret it so they get Daniel and he says it means ''you have been weighed in the balance and have been found lacking ''then proceeds to tell them pretty much that God was going to tear their playhouse down...and he did.
Love ya... hey, by the way, "DOES IT HAVE BUMPER?" ... LOL... This is a great truck and people that are bothering you do not deserve this truck... and it is worthy to you to keep it. "SCREW THOSE THOSE DUMMIES THAT WANT TO BUY JUNK FOR A KING PRICE!" You got it right and that truck is your money in the bank.
Thanks buddy! It’s like this sometimes and other trucks I have sold went just smooth as silk. I just think it’s funny and a good rant is good for the soul. lol
