The nerve of some people

[sb47]

Had a guy stop in today that "in his words" make me a great offer.
He said he lived just 2 miles down the road and wanted to sell firewood. He said he wanted to buy my cut split and seasoned firewood at a whole sale price and re sell it.
He got upset when I turned down his generous offer. He wanted to buy a cord that I get $650 for for $150 so he could sell it cheaper then what I sell for.
He could not take no for an answer. I had to get rude with him to make him understand I was not interested. The nerve of some people.
That was my entertainment for today. lol

Did he have a man bun?

Wow 650 a cord where I'm at its about 150 for oak, most of the ash has been cut and sold from the eab. Whatever isn't by now is rotten.

Sounds like the kind of guy that might consider stealing it, after he "gave you a chance".

 

[GeeVee]

Wow.

 

[rmotoman]

I would have told him wholesale price is $650.

I would have told him wholesale price is $650.

I did. I told him I would be happy to sell him all he wanted at retail price.

That was my thought - probably because around here that's a real likely outcome.

Sb47 is that kiln dried firewood?

No, The only wood I put in a kiln is mesquite and that is simply to kill the wood bores. Mesquite is notorious for have loads of wood bores and they will turn a stack of wood into saw dust in short order.

Seems like an awful lot of people these days want something for nothing.

My son's place has a circular drive that passes around the house, down a bit of a hill, around the back of the barn and then returns to the road. Veiw of the lower section from the house is mostly obstructed by the barn.

A few years ago, my DiL spotted the nose of a car peaking out from behind the barn where they process their firewood for the season -- in broad daylight. When my son investigated, he found the owner had skipped the whole offer stage and was loading up the trunk. "I was going to come up to the house to pay you once I was loaded." Yeah, right. My son made him unload and restack it all. He's too nice, I would have called the cops and had him charged.

I wonder how long it had been going on for?

 

[unclemoustache]

Dang.

Really, there's not much more I can say.

Sounds like some Gypsy horse trader.

I imagine if you did end up buying firewood from him that he wouldn't be very truthful of what you were getting for your money.

Man bun = saddle horn
