Time is money. If you want to stand around all day talking to losers from Craigslist who come out and kick our tire because they think an old truck is something that they can likely talk you out of...

But I hate talking to strangers to begin with, so would much rather pay someone (like a car salesman) who does it for a living to put up with it.

I bought a '69 Pontiac Brougham at an auction in Florida and sold it at a consignment dealer in Seattle for -exactly- what I paid for it (less taxes and commissions which make it easy to fool yourself about your great deal!). Never had to deal with either end of the transaction other than paying/receiving.

Some people like talking to strangers. I don't!
