my wife and mother in law having a yard sale and they decide to try and sell my 1962 dodge pickup/318/pushbutton shift (blinker covers are 80 bucks/tail light-95/carberator 250) and put a price of 2400 on it and is complete and runs and the body is straight, but there mind is not, should i be p/o'ed at them, because i didn't know about there plan, and sent someone to see the truck who was offering 4500 for it, if it ran and it does, but now thanks to them i'm locked in to a 2400 price, how do you think i should react

If it is your truck, and someone was offering $4500, then that is the value of the truck. Do not sell it for $2400.
If the title is in your name, they have no right to sell it!!

You're not locked into anything.....if it's in your name! No one else can sell it or do anything without your signature on the title and a notary as witness signature on the title. Don't worry about that part. YES you should be p!ssed at your wife and mother-in-law!!! If the truck is yours, they had no right to put it up for sale....you should do the same thing with something they both hold very special, that'll teach them a lesson. I'd take my truck and go somewhere else.....see ya!

I think I would be pretty upset at first, but remember, it's your wife's truck too. Marriage, sweet isn't it? Missing out on $2100 isn't a lot, money isn't worth fighting over, you'll earn more money. Life goes on. Don't sweat the little things. Besides, if you still have the truck, don't sell it if you don't want. Why are you locked in? Even though it isn't a collector type truck, it may hold some personal value to you, but if you are trying to sell it anyway, sounds like everyone wants it gone. She just advertised it first. Forgive her, take her out to dinner, a year from now you'll be laughing over the whole matter. Besides, isn't she worth a little forgiveness and understanding?

I would say there is not much trust in your marriage, did you tell her that you had an offer of 4500, do you really want to sell it, did you discuss with her about taking offers and contacting the highest bidder, that's what being married is all about, both of you have to be open with each other, don't put the blame on somebody else if you made a mistake, you have to be honest with yourself first.

Whose name is on the title????? THAT is the answer. If YOUR name is on it they can't sell it, and one reason is, because the buyer will want a signed title. THEY can't lock anything in a sell. If you and your wife's name is one it, she still can't sell it as long as you are living.
On the other hand, IF HER name is the only name on the title, you can kiss your beloved truck goodbye.
IF she does manage to sell it......what will you do? Take her to court? Be prepared to either accept the sell or take her to court, of which YOU will be paying anyway. You lose either way. Pops

It's up to you to decide if this is worth getting p/o'd at. I know I would not be happy, and would share my feelings with my wife.
Forget about the mother in law, her daughter will tell her everything anyway.
WHO "locked" you into this deal??? This is critical. If YOU did, then you are to blame. If SHE did, then you have no "lock" at all, and can thus sell it to someone else. She cannot legally create a contract (written or verbal, thus a "lock") to sell a vehicle she does not own!
I would sell it to my friend, and have no second thoughts about that decision.

I love my old pick up also, to be blunt it will be easier for you to get a new wife than to find a go old used pickup like that.
And if you do get a new wife it would most likely be a new model, run smother and I would get one that does not have loud random noise squawking out of it, in less your riding it hard.
And for the momther in law i would take her out in the back of my pickup and take her for a long ride if she even thought of selling my pickup.

It's seen like they have no respect for you. Tell your stupid wife and her mother that it's your pick up truck therefore you make your own ****** dissission .What wrong with you letting your wife and mother wear the pants in your relationship.Grow some balls and tell them you are keeping your classic pick up truck don't get rid of the ride get rid of the wife and lets not forget your mother in law.

Why is your wife so dead set on selling it? Do you spend more time with your truck then your wife?
Maybe your wife needs money to pay bills.
Basically you are in your own jam about who bid on the truck, since you knew what was going on
