I remember my Dad selling a car once when I was younger. These guys showed up literally kicking the tires on it and pointing out any tiny little flaw. I think it was my sisters old Chivette and he wanted like $500 bucks for it or something and they were offering him like $250 or something stupid, threatening to leave right now if he didn't take it.

Just as they were talking someone pulled up next door and was sitting in his car, most likely waiting to pick someone up and my Dad goes "I've had half a dozen calls on it, in fact that guy there is next in line to look at it and I know he wanted it bad. If you don't want to pay the 500 that is fine, I'll go talk to Peter here." He obviously had no idea who the guy was in the car, but the other guys bought it and broke down "OK OK, $500 WE WILL GO TO THE BANK!" As they were driving away my Dad faked like he was walking towards "Peter's" car and just waved and turned around as they got out of sight. They came back 15 minutes later with the money, hah.
