This is me again, ranting about something that is none of my business...
I've seen this statement a few times on Barnstormers and elsewhere, "No Tirekickers!" The latest example is here:
Ultimate 10-180 at Barnstormers
Mr. Bettencourt, if you are a member of this forum this is not intended as a dig at you. (Sweet little machine, btw). But anybody who would consider forking over thousands for a single-seat hot rod that could potentially kill them is a "Tirekicker", and proudly so. And every seller who makes the effort to advertise is a serious seller and doesn't wish to have his time wasted. Both should be unstated as givens. To highlight the seriousness of the sale may just backfire by frightening away serious buyers who want to be diligent in their search for the right mount. To say that the price is firm is really all that needs to be said without raising any flags with the potential buyer.
Rant over. (Weather sucks and nothing productive to do
)
