Michigan wacko from Craigslist?

I guess there are some wack-jobs here in Michigan too. I had hoped I escaped some of this nonsense after I left New York.

Some guy who says he is Alex Brtdges, Fly Ash Forge, Custom Metal Work Fabrication, 231-383-4057 in lower Michigan somewhere.

I posted an ad on the northern Michigan Craigslist. Pretty straight forward, or so I thought.

So this guy who seems to be from lower Michigan starts sending me questions.

#1 He asks about power requirements. I told him that depends on how much power he has to make. It can make a max of 15,000 watts but he can run it with less HP to make less watts.

#2 He asks if I posted actual photos. I said yes, because they are.

#3 He says he saw the same photos at the Smokestak forum from a few years ago and thinks he might report me as a scammer.

And then he tells me - or alludes to the idea I am giving false information because I said the generator had a problem years ago?

Well duh . . .I fixed it years ago.

At this point - I would not sell to this guy for any price. I was civil with him - but I've had it with this nonsense.

Note - I DID live in central New York for 40 years. Does that make me a criminal?

Note - I did use an older photo of the generator in the ad. it happens to be MY photo and it still looks exactly the same. I have it put away inside a barn an it was just easier to use an existing photo I had here in the house.

Oh well. I think I'd rather dig a hole and bury rather then sell to someone like this. I do not need the bucks. Just sick of it in my way in the barn and where it is stored - I don't even have a tractor with a PTO anymore. That is the problem of living in three different places in Michigan.
