The Champ
Today two of my regs came in, Freaky Frank and Dirty Dapper Dan. Both are in their 70's. They come to give me a hardtime and we have a ball everytime we get to jawing. What we say to each other isn't for the meek by no means. It gets wild, alot of cussing dirty jokes, sometimes some name calling not fit for the devil himself but always in good natured fun.
While there today shooting the bull with these old guys I sit a super nice MS290 up on the counter, used but in great condition. Had a hair line crack in the top of the oil tank. I go Frank ya see this saw here, I'm gonna replace the case on it and sell it for 300.00. He looks closely at it and goes I'll give you 75.00 for it the way it is. I said nope, 100.00. He goes no way. I go fine, I'll replace the case and get 300.00. He keeps trying to get it for 75.00.
Finally Dapper Dan says Frank he told you a 100.00, you should buy it for that. Frank can't take it anymore. He goes does it leak oil. I go not that I can tell but its got a hair line crack right there in plain view on top of the oil tank. He goes well it would be ok to use on the farm with the guys I got. He whips out a crisp 100.00 bill and buys the saw. Dan leaves and Frank goes out the door with his saw minutes later.
About 20 minutes go by and the phone rings. I look at the call screen and the call is coming from the boweling alley down the street. I answer hello and this man asks is a 290 a good saw. I go they're ok for a homeowner saw. He goes are they as good as a 036Pro, I go no way, no where near it. He goes well how much is a 290 worth. I go it depends on the condition its in. He goes well how much would a nice one be worth that has a small crack in top of the oil tank. I go hmmmmmm, is someone trying to sell you one. He goes yeah. I go is it a older guy in his 70's. He goes yeahhhhhhhhhh, how did you know that. I go is he driving a blue pick up truck. He goes yeah. I said what does he want for the saw. He goes 150.00. I said you tell that old guy that I said he's a low life sorry suma---------. He goes whatcha mean. I said I just sold him that saw 20 minutes ago for 100.00. He goes whatttttttttttt. I go I sure did. He goes are you serious, I go you dayummm right I'm serious. I said you tell him that the Stihl guy said that saw is only worth 50.00 since it has a crack in the oil tank and that no way would any one would pay more than 50.00 for it. The guy laffed and said I'm gonna go and tell that suma------.
I thought Frank would stop back by and tell me he and the guy were in on the call together but he never came by. I thought he would call me but he didn't call either.
So did my buddy Frank try to make a quick 50.00 on a saw he told me he was gonna let his farm hands use or did he try to pull a prank on me? Did I ruin his chance to make 50.00? Either way I came out 100.00 to the good, the saw cost me $0.00. Should I have told Frank that, of course not I say but I did tell him it sold for 369.95 brand new and man that saw looked new cept for that hair line crack,LOLOLOL
