Going to make an offer

[MarineScott]

My neighbor is up in age (80) and some what well off. I get all my wood from his property free of charge,so when I get the chance I do what he needs around the house and vehicle maintenance too. As I was repairing his shelving in the garage, I moved a book case and behind it was a Stihl MS361 in a case. My question is, what should I offer him? I never knew he had this saw the whole time I have known him.

 

[svk]

Ask him want he wants for it.

 

[Ironworker]

Just take it, he might not notice.

I certainly hope that comment was an attempt at humor.

Just say "Hey, I tripped over that old orange saw back there while fixing shelves. Been looking for a back-up saw if you want to get rid of it! "

Exactly...worse-case scenario is he wants to hold on to it. But if the day comes and he wants to give it to someone or sell, I bet you'll get first shot at it.

Before retiring I was a Police Officer for 31 years. I have dealt with enough thieves, liars and scum bags to last a lifetime, and could care less about political correctness.. It is not humorous to insinuate stealing from an elderly person.

damn straight,, and he meant what he typed....history....

"Do unto others..."
I'm not a religious person, but the Golden Rule always seems to apply in life. Just ask him if he wants to, or is willing to, get rid of it and go from there.

[zogger]

I dunno, offer 250-300 based on condition. If it was put there to get fixed "some day" because-say-it was straight gassed years ago, then reconsider what it might be worth, maybe one benjamin if the outside is primo?

If you don't like my sense of humor then just ignore me. I don't really need you telling me right from wrong you self righteous moron. Nobody cares that you were a pig.

Most of the time, people that are well off know the value of a dollar and are cheap. But years of being helped out most likely changes things. You won't know unless you ask.
