Gary - One of my landlords had a 1938 Dodge setting by his barn for years. Many, many persons tried to buy it, but Earl would say,"Nope, it's my store room(kept a bunch of junk in it)" One day, a young fellow came to look at it,and got the same reply. The kid thought for a minute then told Earl that if he bought it, he would restore it, come back and give Earl and his wife the first ride in it. The car went down the road for $50.

Try that approach first instead of flashing money. I knew that flashing money was the real reason Earl denied previous potential buyers.
