LONG RESPONSE--SORRY. Some businesses quote over the phone and do well. These businesses are service related. You know, either you want it or you don't. For example: Cable TV (your price is x dollars- are you interested) or the interest rate paid on savings is x%. However, businesses that sell products do better when the buyer is there ON THEIR HOME TURF, touching, and in general Ooooing and Ahhhhing over the product. You know, Living the dream of wind blowing thru your hair and mud flying everywhere except on you, as your buddies snap frame after frame of your expert riding with their new camera/phones. Retailers understand that when selling products, they have a much better chance of separating you from your money or (financing)if you walk thru THEIR front door. At that point, 1/2 their battle is already won. You have mentally decided that you ARE interested in buying. Now it's just a matter of selecting WHICH ONE you are buying. (Psychology of selling). Nothing wrong with that, just understand the process.

Want my advice??? OK. If you're smart and you have already made up you mind to buy, then research on line. Find the model you are interested in buying and any shortcomings. Learn what to look for to spot potential repair problems. Now we, consumers like our toys. But in many cases, wanting something and using it are 2 different things. These "I used to .....(fill in blank, ex. boat, snowmobile, 4 wheel etc) but don't do it anymore" toys sit in the shed until owner decides they no longer want them. Keep an eye on the newspapers, trade papers, craigs list, and buy it used for 1/2 the price of new. No, you didn't get to burn the paint off the muffler, but you saved 1/2 the price, so now go donate $10.00 (or 2 bales of hay)to your local animal rescue orgainzation. Hope this helped. Now you'll probably walk right into the dealership and mess up this whole teaching/learning effort. Time will tell.

Today's Featured Article - George's Fordson Major - by Anthony West (UK). This is a bit of a technical info to add on to the article about George's Major in the "A Towny Goes Plowing" article. George bought his Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00. There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken by Harold alone to bring it up to show standard. From the engine number, it was found that the major was produced late 19 ... [Read Article]
