Had some young guys come look at the equipment, partners, about 20 y/o. I don't think these kids had a clue. As soon as they got out of the car, my gut told me to tell them to get right back in, but yah cant judge a book by the cover..........wrong, yes u can! So I entertained it for a bit. Ran them thru the stuff. Asked if they knew how to run a skid loader, then let one get in, nope he don't, maybe moved it around for dad before, but he has never actually RUN the machine. Think they where dreaming, not thinking. They had never driven a big truck, never touched a big saw, wouldn't go all the way up in the bucket, nutting, just a "hey, lets get into the tree service" as if it is, just that easy. They tried low balling me right off, witch irked the **** out of me right away. Playing the great negotiator, that I am, I just said NO. Tried getting me down again, told them "look, this crap will sit and rust away before I let it go for nothing, I don't need to sell it, I want to sell it, big difference young man" I started getting tired of them pretty quick, and started doing chores...........like moving boxes, as they figured out what they wanted to do, kept asking me if I could come down anymore, did they not hear me? ..... NO! The only thing they did know, is that they wanted to eat at a Chick-Fila, they don't have one where they are from, all giddy and stuff with their little skater shoes on.........F'ing kids. Think they had a allowance, a "no more than" deal. And I broke their heart, the one kid had tears as he tried to negotiate. The 3rd kid seemed alright, dressed like a farm kid, had his hat on right, he gave a good firm handshake and looked me in the eye, unlike the other 2. I probably could have dealt with him little better than the other ones, to bad he was the little brother and only 12 or so and was just along for the ride! Complete and total wast of a Saturday. :bang: Should have worked, beautiful day.
