False Alarm

Seems that when I got to his house with it, the buyer is not a buyer (yet) until he runs the baler with his tractor with me showing him how. Then he cut $500 off the price I was asking. Then there was some mumbling about me carrying the note. But I did tell the consignment guy to not let a potential customer get away.....got other things going and I want this thing gone.

Why is it when I buy something, it's broken, I have to fix it, I have to drag it home instead of being delivered, it costs 6 prices and if it works fine, if not tough luck, I have to learn how to operate on my own and I have to pay cash out front.

Rain is finally in the forecast for the next several days (whopee, about time) but that will delay the test till next weekend.

Put an ad in the paper which will be out Tuesday. Could have drug it home..... ..but what for.....bird in the hand.....

Yuck!

That's my motto, buy junk high and sell restorations low. Never fails.

Go get the baler before you lose the bird in hand. Tell him that if he would like to see the baler work then you will arrange time when you have hay on ground and can show it to him. Otherwise you will have a baler you have "agreed" to sell him that gets to be hard to reposess if he gives you any money. He will use this year to bale his hay, break it and then tell you to come get it in the fall and you will wind up restoring it again before you can sell it...

Tell your consignment man that you have no use for his method of business and do not appreciate his hiding the financial details until the baler had left your control. Don't ask me how I know these things but trust me you are heading for burnt. I will stretch to help a friend when in need, that's why we call them friends. A stranger that is trying to dictate and manipulate the deal is not a friend and is trying to take advantage of the deal and you.... Do not be desperate and lose this baler...

He has a lot full of haying equipment and my baler is competing with his. Can't really blame him for wanting it off.....course I told him to "not let a potential customer get away", so I am partly to blame. Looks like we are going to get there. Guy is really serious...can tell by his actions...he wants it...so does his wife.

I looked at the tractor and it's new, NH 4 cyl; looked pretty husky 60 hp. If it's the same 4.2 4 cyl that Ford has used for years, I don't have a problem with it working...those suckers are torquey.

Think it might work out....soon as we get 3-4 dry days.

Then if he wants to play the pay out game, then I'll do as you say cause I have one tractor out there now that's only half paid for and it will be a long time before I see all of it, if at all....but, in all seriousness, the buyer contacted cancer since buying the tractor and the doctor has really sucked up what would have been money for me.....and it is a friend (yeah I know that's the worst kind). So I'm soft pedaling it.

Thanks,
