gnu BS: Yard sales... a nickel? You serious? (38) RE: BS: Yard sales... a nickel? You serious? 19 Aug 14


"... he quotes a final price higher than he had listed." Do that all the time. >;-) Here's what I say... I asked 100 and you offered 80. Let's split it. 100 - 80 is 20. That's 10... so, the price for YOU is now 110.

Well, she arrived with husband in tow in a BIG brand new SUV. $20 and gave me the address where it should be delivered to tomorrow on Main Street. ??? Ahhh, sorry, but delivery? They began speaking French and I decided I was gonna concentrate REAL hard. She was upset with him and he was givin her the gears. Senegal French ain't Acadian Shaques so I had a hard time but I kept up and offered comments. Damned if she and him CAN speak English all of a sudden. He pointed at my truck and said, "You have a truck. You must deliver." I said, no problem. $50.

He got it in the SUV. I even helped him by supplying nylon cord and tying the thing shut... tho, admittedly, all I wanted to do was get his ass out of there. Heheheee... so did she! She was rather apologetic after he got behind the wheel. We shook hands and I gave her a knowing nod. She replied in kind. I thought I should give her the $20 back for her grief... but, that SUV is worth twice my truck so...........

I hope they enjoy many a BBQ.

Jaysus! Ya practically give shit away and people want more???
