Overheard...

"That's a sweet ride you got there. How much you pay for it?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you. You looking to buy one of these?"
"Sorta. Why? You trying to unload this one?"
"Actually, yeah. I was really thinking of selling it but there's some sentimental value attached to it so I didn't want to sell it to just anybody. But if you're interested, it's yours."
"How much?"
"How much you got? Make me an offer."
"Well, I want to know more about it first. How's it run?"
"Oh, it runs like a stallion. Best car I've ever driven. Ever."
"Well, let me take a test drive."
"You don't trust me? Come on man, it's a great ride. You can take that to the bank."
"Hmmm. I don't know. I really want to drive it first. Pop the hood and let me take a look underneath."
"That's really not necessary."
"Why not? Do you want me to buy this thing or not?"
"Well yeah but you really don't need to pop the hood. The engine is fine, trust me."
"I trust you but I want to take a look at the car before I buy it. You have a problem with that?"
"Whoa! Whoa! Calm down. No need to get upset. I can see you're not really interested in this car so maybe I'll just move along."
"What?!? I am interested in the car but for some reason you won't let me check it out. Is there something wrong with it? How many miles does it have? How much oil does it burn? I just want to know about the car."
"Look. The car is perfect but I can see you don't want to accept that and so you're obviously not the right person to buy this car."
"Whatever dude. Bye."
"Bye."

Yeah. Quixtar is presented like a Jet sold at burger price, but actually it's a Burger sold at jet's price.
Once you buy the car, we have a support system in place that, for anominal fee, you have at your disposal in order to fully use your car.
Thanks for buying the car!
Now... Well, yes I know it's YOUR car now...
But...
I don't like the way you're driving it.
No. I mean... Maybe you should just drive it here. And... what? No. Well, I'm just saying this because those who bought this car before you drove it in this fashion.
Once again, it is your car. I know.
DRIVE IT LIKE I TELL YOU OR I SWEAR YOU WILL NEVER GET SO MUCH AS A SET OF JUMPER CABLES FROM ME AND GOD WILL HATE YOU.

A burger with out any beef, lettuce, and condiments. Actually, it's just a bun, a stale old moldy bun.
oh, I forgot to mention that car only runs on gas that's $5.00 a gallon, that you can ONLY get from me and my friends. yeah, I know it's a bit more expensive than other gas, but it's super concentrated, and you'll get a .15 check every month for buying gas from us, so hey, what have you got to lose, eh? and also, you need to bring the car into my friend's shop for a tune up each quarter. It takes all weekend, from friday night to sunday afternoon. But if you bring it in like I tell you, this will be the car of your dreams!
...and if this car doesn't run, it will be YOUR fault, not the car.
And don't listen to those losers who say this car has less than a 1% chance of ever starting. Trust me - I'm a IBOAI certified mechanic!
I know that you'll like the car- and when you do, how many people do you think that you can tell how much you like the car? But for crying out lound, don't go and tell them what kind of car it is before they see it- in fact, I've got six other ones just like it in the garage...
"The Better Business Bureau says this car is the greatest. The FTC agrees.
I partnered with GM to bring this car to you."
And gee whiz, it has a TAPE DECK!

hmm,
reminds me of Orrin Woodward's claim of "How the Money Works." with his car dealership example.

Roger,
Here ya' go:

Car Owner: "Now, if you want to really buy this car, meet me at the local Business Hotel on Monday night at 7pm and I'll know how serious you are about buying it."
Buyer: "How long will it take?"
Car Owner: "Oh not real long. If you really want this car, you'll go the extra mile and stay late and get only 2 hours of sleep before you have to get up to go to work tomorrow. Pretty soon, with this car, you won't have to work at all!"
Buyer: "Nevermind, I want to buy from a legitimate business. Later!"
Ironically, I have spent enough money on the system to buy 10 used cars, but when we got in, it was so little to get started that it didn't seem important to analyze it like I would have a "real" business.
They definitely got me.
