East of Broken Bow | Anything I have ever sold, I never held back on the details, both good or bad.
You might have to listen to me go on for a while about all the quirks, as I probably go into too much detail, but no one can say I ever sold anything trying to hide a defect.
Now, if it has a problem that I can't fix, I will do one of two things: If I sell it privately, they will know all about the problem and what I did to try to resolve it, or it will go on the local auction, sold as-is no warranty. However if anyone were to call and ask me about it before the sale, I would tell them about any problmes.
However, to go farther, in this day and age I tend to want to take about anything to auction, or trade instead of sell it privately, unless I know the buyer is a good person or at least normal. I have heard story ofter story lately of buyers doing things like hitting a deer, and then wanting to return a vehicle, or you tell them outright that the auger gearbox leaks oil, and you take them to the gearbox, and show them the leaky seal, and tell them that one reason you are selling the auger is because you need to add oil to the gearbox every couple days and the auger has enough wear in it you just bought a better one and are selling this one as-is, leaky gearbox and all, and they should either fix the seal, add oil every day or two, or fill the gearbox with grease, and then 2 weeks later they are at the coffee shop badmouthing you because the auger they bought from you (for not much over weigh-up price) had the gearbox go bad because the oil leaked out of it.
Sorry for the run-on sentance, but I may or may not be a little bit worked up about a situation that may or may not have happened a while ago.
