That happened to me over the phone in the 80's when a guy with a 10k mile hemi in Kansas raised his price from $10K to $15K. The car was advertised in Hemmings during the calm before the storm. This car, seems like it was a red Sattelite one owner, still would have been a steal. The guys wasn't a charlatan he just didn't know what he had until his phone started ringing off the hook and he was getting 'sight unseen' offers!!

The seller is a great guy & we've become pretty good friends. He has a 1/8 mile dragstrip in his side yard
When you're looking at a '69 Camaro with what appears to be an original BE rear end, 140 speedo, a vin that is in the middle of 30 Yenko's & a body # only 7 digets away from another car you own, you don't argue...you pay & trailer it home

He then quoted a new price which had increased another $5k from the top price he'd given me over the phone. When I asked about the increase he told me 'anybody that has 6 figure Novas can afford another 5K bump.'
.... one smart SOB.

There should probably be a distinction made between raising the price on a car because its worth more than you're asking, and raising the price because you think someone can afford to spend more. Sounds like the seller in this case did the latter, which I don' think is cool

It's great that you were able to develop a friendship with him, but I'm in agreement with the others who think he was out of line for jacking the price for his given reason.
