PSA: My uncle Bob said sell the car as-is on Craigslist after the paint job failed

He told me last summer after I spent 3 days painting my 2003 F-150 in the driveway in Austin and it started peeling in a week. Said stop dumping money into a $1500 truck and just list it with honest photos at $1800. I thought he was crazy. Three people offered full price within 6 hours. The buyer even laughed and said he'd repaint it himself. Has anyone else had family give you that one crazy piece of advice that actually worked?

Honest photos" is the KEY - I did that with my old Jeep and got offers in two hours flat.

Three people offering full price in six hours? That's nuts, I don't think I've ever sold a vehicle that fast in my life. Uncle Bob must have some kind of magic touch with Craigslist. So the buyer basically told you to your face he was gonna fix your mess and still paid top dollar.
