[quote user="TWO GUNS"]Tell us the rest of the story[/quote]
As the story goes...
A friend of mine was at the farm show looking at the Kubota G-series tractors since he needs a new mower.
The next morning, he e-mailed me about them but was choking on their $9K price tag.
For some reason I hopped on Craigslist and there was a loaded one in perfect condition for $3500. I sent my friend the link and he immediately called the guy. My friend (Tom) calls me back and tells me that the seller only put it on Craigslist an hour ago and Tom was the 6th caller and 4th person who wants to come look at it. Tom knew the tractor wouldn't last the day and couldn't get out of work so he asked me if there's any way I could go look at it. I told him sure. I called, got directions, grabbed a trailer, stopped at bank for cash and met the seller at 11:00. I kicked the tires and paid the main.
Well, the seller (Frank) told me that everything is going and asked if there was anything I may be interested in. I looked around and pointed out some stuff. He said OK and got my e-mail address. He wouldn't sell to me on the spot as he needed to think about pricing.
So, I then start getting e-mails from Frank with a list of items and their prices.
Here's <u>some</u> of the things that I got from him:
- Big Tex 5x10' utility trailer that has 100 miles on it. $350. They're about $1700 new.
-
He gave me (2) 5-gallon fuel cans full of diesel. FREE
-
A Craftsman 22" weed trimmer. Like new. $80
- 12v Porter Cable cordless drill with 2 batteries, charger and flashlight. FREE
- 300' of trickle hose FREE
- Outdoor table and 6 chairs. All heavy gauge
steel with mesh table top and seats. Seats have coils that allow
rocking (and they're very comfortable). With umbrella. $125 for all.
- A pile of 2x4" to 2x12" boards and a bunch of 1x12" wood. Enough to fill my 6x12' trailer. $30 for all.
- 32" Toshiba TV, VHS/DVD player, stand... All new. $165.
- 32" Magnavox TV, VHS/DVD player, stand... All new. $135.
- 2 milk crates filled with spray paint, spray glue... $5.
- A HUGE box of extention cords, 24-hour timers... $10.
- Shumaker battery charger/starter (new) $20.
- OK, if you read this far, you deserve the answer. All those guns and "stuff" was $250.
