    Most people are terrible negotiators. You can't get offended. Start the process, if you can't meet somewhere you haven't burned any bridges.

    To not negotiate on a non-ridable, self-described "project" is not going to go great. I have a feeling everybody is going to piss him off.

    It took me nearly two years to get my 1992 VFR750F. But he was nice and I didn't burn any bridges. When he finally realized that a non-running VFR was going nowhere at his price, I got it for less than I thought (and was willing to pay).
