Dingus Haggles For Discount On Motorcycle That's Less Than the Value of Included Replacement Parts, Has Immediate Regret

Selling used goods on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or any other free equivalent platform is incredibly easy… but dealing with people is incredibly hard.

Just ask Redditor u/kAROBsTUIt, who sold their first motorcycle and, in doing so, faced the infamous "good cop/bad cop" routine presented by a father/son duo. The pair picked apart the "lightly crashed" motorcycle's defects and tried to use that as justification for circumventing an otherwise firm price. In doing so, the father declined to take the spare parts that were to be included with the price of sale. Inexplicably, the replacement parts were worth far more than the discount they negotiated.

u/kAROBsTUIt posted their righteous revenge story to Reddit's popular r/MaliciousCompliance sub, where it has earned high praise. Other commenters shared experiences and stories of their own.

"Yeah, working in car sales made me hate the haggling," shared imabigdave. "I usually price stuff where I need to be with a very small bit of room to let a buyer feel like they won. When potential buyers point out things you had already been up front about, just say "yes, and that's why I have it priced where I have it priced" Find a surprise to one or both of us? That's different."
