"Marketing"

I learned a lesson in marketing from a man who
bought an old boat, a trailer and a motor from
me. "Thanks," he said as he loaded them up. "I'm
planning to resell them."

Good luck, I thought. I had been trying to get rid
of them for months. But when I ran into him a few
weeks later, he'd sold everything.

"How did you manage that?" I marveled.

"I took out an ad: 'Heavy-duty boat trailer, with free
boat.' When the buyer came to get it, I asked if he
had a motor. He said no. I told him I happened to
have one in my garage. Bought that, too."
