But in most cases it's BS, because if the buyer drove all the way out there, it means he's OK with the original price as stated. |

I would definitely toss out an offer less than asking when I am seeing something in person. It seems to me like a lot of the stuff I see on Craigslist already has some wiggle room built in to the price to begin with. It would be stupid not to try. Of course I wouldn't agree to a price over the phone before seeing what I am buying. I wouldn't go see something if the seller makes it clear their price is firm and I'm unwilling to pay that either.

Given the equipment was spotless, he'd have had a little trouble trying to pull that on me. The situation backfired a little on him too as we're both members of the same local photography forum, and I'm hardly reticent about passing on such information to others who might be effected.

This is why I dont bother with Craigslist, eBay fees suck but I hate dealing with people even more.

I was selling my '23 t-bucket and I had a guy try to low ball me another $500 after we agreed on a price over the phone. I told him to get out of my car and go home. Needless to say after he drove 14 hours to "look" at it. He coughed up the $500.... he had me so pissed I was ready to raise the price. lol

Easy enough to agree on price based on the item being as advertised, with no misrepresentation. I could understand wanting to renegotiate if there were undisclosed issues. Unfortunately it typically seems to not be the case, when some asshat decides to lowball.
