Well, if you added 1/3 of a penny per lb trucking my crops away, you would get to the $6000.00 neighborhood, I wouldn't really call that small potatoes?

Think any good businessperson would and should watch their expenses, but if you just want to throw it around I'll be sure to look you up. :)

When I ordered a pickup long ago, when it came the dealership said thry forgot a $100 fee, if I would care to pay for that. A month after we shook on the deal and I had made a down payment.

My friend who was along to get me there said he was surprised that I appeared that I would walk out on the deal if they forced the issue.

And I would have. We agreed, had a deal in writing, there isn't any changing it after? The price of corn dropped that winter, if they wanted to open up the negotiations I had less dollars than I expected a month earlier, I was certainly open to renegotiating if thry wanted to.

That dealership is out of business several decades later, but it always left a bad taste in my mouth, that they would want to tack on a $100 up charge and think that was ok.

On the other hand, I sold some small amount of grain to a distant neighbor this week, I looked at his containers in his pickup and asked for X amount as payment. Doing some calculations now after looking online how much his containers hold I see I shortchanged myself. No big deal, my fault, I won't ever ask for that to be changed, I named my price and I am happy living with that. Look forward to selling him some more in the future, we will visit the quantiy of future sales anew but we will not look backwards. All good, no issues on my part.

Paul
