Title: Why do some people stick their nose.. Post by: Detroit Dave on July 20, 2013, 10:29:03 pm I posted a few ago about a Hires slider machine that had been forgotten and left in a garage to rot.I did meet the man who used to own it and we had pretty much made a deal for me to buy it.Well I head back over to where he lives but cant find no one at home but a neighbor sees me and remembers me.He tells me the man has gone to AZ. but should be back soon..Cool..then he asks me.."Didnt you come here to get that machine..? " Yeah..Oh boy...you got problems..he tells me.."UH..what problems I asked .Seems his grandson saw it along with his daughter and BOTH agreed its worth a TON more then what I was going to pay for it and now there going to send it through an auction.."Uh..its a machine that needs a total re-do job and needs quite a few parts.." Well the neighbor tells me good luck and says hes sorry....talk about PO. :darn: :censored: :darn: :censored: I gave the neighbor my contact info and asked if he could find out which auction house would he handling the auction...Im going off to pout now... :biggrin:

The switcheroo is part of the hobby, and the grand son has been watching too much "reality" TV. This iwll be a good lesson for him when not only it doesn't sell for a ton of money more, the auction house cut if sells will lower the take home pay even more.
